claude-video-starter: One Real Run, Start to Finish (Claude Code + HyperFrames)

One real run of claude-video-starter, start to finish: Claude Code on a fresh Linux user clones the repo, takes a brief, asks its questions, checks the design system, draws a storyboard, generates Higgsfield illustrations, voices, builds, renders and reviews a 28-second DNS explainer. 53 minutes of work; the waits are sped up, every prompt and every question plays at real speed. This is the companion to the full tutorial, which explains every step: https://youtu.be/_A9EGDl3Lpw ---- Higgsfield AI — Create AI Videos & Visuals Get 10% OFF here: https://higgsfield.ai?fpr=thomas-dccf7e 🚀 DYNAMOUS AI COMMUNITY Want to learn agentic coding with live daily events and workshops?

The account's claude.ai connectors appear in `claude mcp list`; only Higgsfield is used. - Off camera: the Claude Code and Higgsfield logins, and the ElevenLabs API key (read from a file, never on screen). - Two stretches are cut, 42 minutes in all, both failures of the recording rig: it was blocked for 40 minutes while Claude waited at its trust prompt, and later it answered a trust prompt too early, so `claude` exited. The run clock skips both, and a chip names each cut. - pnpm 12 skipped esbuild's build script; Claude tested esbuild, found it works, and changed nothing. The voice ID in `.env.example` was empty, so the narration stopped until one `!` shell line set the stock voice Sarah. - Claude flagged the word "most" in the brief's own take as unsourced, read Cloudflare's page from the Internet Archive after a blocked fetch, and rejected two of four illustrations against its own checklist. - One storyboard fix, one sentence, before any frame was built. - Review rounds: 6 / 8 / 8 / 6, then 7 / 8 / 8 / 8, then 8 on every score. The run typed `/review`; the starter has since renamed it `/video-review`, because Claude Code ships its own built-in `/review`. - Every browser window in the video was opened on purpose and closed before anything was typed. Where a long reply scrolled above the terminal, a panel shows that part from the session log. - Claude Video Starter repo: https://github.com/DIY-Smart-Code/claude-video-starter - Follow-along task list: https://tasklist.smartcode.diy/list/claude-code-video-starter - HyperFrames docs: https://hyperframes.heygen.com
