These AI explainers are taking over. I tried getting this working back in May. The models were okay but not quite there and it was a ton of effort. Opus 5.5 seems like the tipping point.

I made an OSS framework for these for when you want to go beyond one-shoting it: https://github.com/scosman/videowright

- Voiceovers: aligns animations to the voiceover, can generate voiceover with elevenlabs, or will transcribe and timestamp a real voiceover

- can reorder scenes both in code, and using ffmpeg for audio.

- interactive controls during authoring, can ask for micro edits or re-builds

- MP4 export/encoder

- Generates a video from a prompt (obvs)
