A new video engine, Claude Opus 5.5, and pricing by the second
Every new Motion video now runs as one continuous piece of motion, written on Claude Opus 5.5 by default. Videos are priced by the second and edited from chat, and one credit pack unlocks export without a subscription.
A new video engine
A video used to be a set of scenes stitched together, and the picture often sat still waiting for the voice. Now the whole video is planned at once and runs as one continuous piece:
- Nothing freezes, and cuts land on the beat
- Every video looks like its brand, in your site's own typefaces and colours, so two brands no longer come out alike
- Your uploaded images go in first
- The music is scored to the picture, so the drops land with the motion
- Narration is a switch, and videos are music-led by default
Any length from 10 to 90 seconds, to the second. Older projects stay as they were and still play and export.
Claude Opus 5.5 by default
Auto now writes every paid video on Opus 5.5. The new Sonnet 5.5 costs half as much, and if your balance cannot cover Opus, Auto switches to Sonnet and tells you. You can still pick any of the nine models yourself.
Edit a video from chat
- Only the sections you mention are rewritten; the rest stays as it is
- Fixing a typo is free, and so is asking a question
