Evidence: X post (2026-09-26): 'Opus 5.5にAfter Effectsを操作させるテスト、その3。 / / ■ベース / ・曲はSunoで作成 / ・MiniMax H3に曲を聴かせて、女の子を踊らせる（15秒×2本） / / ■AEでやらせたこと / ・踊りの映像から全身の骨格を1コマずつ取り出して、AEに流し込む / ・その骨格データで、文字・光・カメラを動かす / 上げた手から歌詞がぶら下がる／拳から文字を撃つ／着地した足元から色があふれる / ・トラッキングの見せ方を章ごとに変える / / ■わかったこと / ・骨格さえ取れれば、手作業のトラッキングなしで文字を体に追従させられる / ・H3は曲を渡すと、拍に合わせてかなり踊ってくれる / ・トラッキング表現は出しっぱなしだと飽きる。どこで見せてどこで引くかは、結局人が見て決めないとダメでした / / 画面の数字や枠は、実際に踊りから取った座標と速度です。'
Human role: Made the song with Suno and two 15-second dance clips with MiniMax H3; then had Opus 5.5 operate After Effects: extract the dancer's skeleton frame by frame and drive text, light and camera with it. The creator notes that deciding when to show the tracking "in the end has to be judged by a human".
Pipeline: Suno song → MiniMax H3 dance video → Opus 5.5 operates After Effects (per-frame skeleton data drives lyrics and effects) → 32-second video

Summary
This video is an AI-crafted anime music video demonstration titled HIKARE created by aicreataro, showcasing kinetic typography and visual effects automated via Claude Opus 5.5 driving Adobe After Effects. It features a stylized anime character dancing to an upbeat electronic J-pop track while automated motion-tracking overlays, pose skeleton lines, and dynamic typography interact seamlessly with her movement.
What is shown
- [00:00 - 00:06] Opening sequence displaying HUD tracking elements ("HIKARE 132 BPM", joint tracking telemetry for wrists and head) and kinetic Japanese text ("声を鳴らせ まだ終わらない" / "IT'S NOT OVER YET") around the dancer.
- [00:07 - 00:08] A graphic countdown ("3, 2, 1") synchronized with animated neon tracking arc paths aligned with the dancer's arm motions.
- [00:09 - 00:23] Chorus section displaying rapid kinetic typography matching lyrics ("光れ", "今を撃ち抜け", "夜を越えて"), optical flow velocity vectors (e.g., "1711 px/s", "1141 px/s"), and color-coded skeleton tracking overlays interacting with foreground and background layers.
- [00:24 - 00:30] Outro sequence showing full-body pose estimation keypoints forming dotted constellation patterns over the dancer, accompanied by "TARGET: LIGHT LOCKED" HUD graphics.
- [00:31] Title card ending with dispersing pink particulate effects and the "aicreataro" watermark.
Claims & numbers
- The video displays an on-screen musical tempo indicator of 132 BPM throughout.
- Pose tracking telemetry displays frame indices, confidence ratings (e.g., "CONF 0.95", "CONF 0.91"), and instantaneous velocity readouts (e.g., "1711 px/s", "1141 px/s", "559 px/s").
- No verbal factual claims or benchmarks are stated by a presenter.
Notable quotes
- [00:01] "声を鳴らせ まだ終わらない" (Koe o narase mada owaranai / "Make your voice ring out, it's not over yet")
- [00:07] "3, 2, 1"
- [00:09] "光れ 光れ 今を撃ち抜け" (Hikare hikare ima o uchinuke / "Shine, shine, strike through the now")
Assessment
This is a creative showcase demonstration highlighting automated motion graphics compositing and kinetic typography driven by an LLM directing video editing software. The tracking lines, vector velocity readouts, and typography are precisely aligned to the dance video's character motion, demonstrating programmatic After Effects scripting integration.
Lyrics & themes
The song HIKARE ("Shine") is an energetic, futuristic J-pop dance track themed around resilience, bursting through current boundaries, and shining through darkness.
- [00:01] "声を鳴らせ まだ終わらない" ("Make your voice ring out, it's not over yet")
- [00:09] "光れ 光れ 今を撃ち抜け" ("Shine, shine, strike through the now")
- [00:13] "光れ 光れ 夜を越えて" ("Shine, shine, cross beyond the night")
Lore & references
- Computer Vision / Pose Estimation: The visual language mimics real-time skeletal tracking architectures (such as OpenPose or MediaPipe), displaying joint coordinates, confidence scores, and wrist velocity metrics as stylistic video elements.
- Claude Opus 5.5 Scripting Trend: Represents the emerging creative workflow where LLMs write complex After Effects ExtendScript/JSX code to automate frame-by-frame kinetic typography and tracking effects onto AI-generated animations.
Visual style & craft
The video blends cell-shaded 2D anime character dance generation with high-contrast graphic design (dominated by magenta, black, and white). The kinetic typography and cybernetic HUD elements alternate depth layers—appearing both behind and in front of the dancer with automated occlusion—indicating code-rendered vector motion graphics coordinated to video motion data.
