The AI made a 60 second marketing video for my app from its own website

He asked the AI to make a marketing video for his app, Astro Editor. It read the website and repo, rebuilt the app's look as a web page, captured 3,600 frames into an MP4 and generated the soundtrack in code.

How it works

  1. Asks the AI in the app repo for a 60 second marketing video
  2. It reads the website code and screenshots to copy the look
  3. It builds the video as a web page and captures 3,600 frames at 60fps with Playwright
  4. It checks sheets of frames, fixes what looks wrong and re-renders
  5. It generates the soundtrack in code and delivers the MP4

Why it’s worth knowing

There was no video editor and no screen recording. The whole video, music included, was built as code and rendered frame by frame.
