Recreate a short animated video frame by frame
Asked to recreate a 63-second animated video, Claude Code launched 161 Codex image-making sessions and stitched the frames together, the poster says, without describing the finished quality.

What they did
The poster asked Claude Code to recreate a 63-second video in a specific animation style. Claude Code noticed another agent, Codex, was installed and chose to use its built-in image maker. It launched 161 Codex sessions to make frames. It also managed the computer's memory, handled failures and stitched the results together.
How it went
The author shares the plan and says Claude ran the whole job. The post does not describe how good the finished video looks.
Worth knowing
Running 161 sessions at once puts heavy strain on the computer's memory, and the agent had to manage that itself. Expect high computing and usage costs.
Try it yourself with Claude Code
Recreate the video at [video file path] in the animation style of [style description or reference images]. Check which tools I have installed, including any image generators, and propose a plan: how many frames, how you will generate them, how you will run work in parallel without exhausting RAM, and how you will retry failures and assemble the final video. Show me the plan and an estimated cost before you start any generation, and wait for my approval.
