The prompt

✦Claude Opus 5.5

1	Create a complete, polished Spotify-themed motion graphics video from the following brief. This prompt is self-contained: no reference video or supplied assets are required.
2
3	<deliverables> An 18-second MP4 at 1920×1080 and true 60 fps, with music and subtle sound effects Complete editable source Build, render, inspect, and refine the animation before delivering it Do not stop at a storyboard, still images, or an implementation plan </deliverables>
4	<art_direction>
5	A premium music-product film presented inside a large, nearly black rounded rectangular stage
6	The stage occupies roughly 80% of the canvas width and 75% of its height, centered horizontally and slightly below the vertical center
7	Outside the stage, use a soft atmospheric green background: luminous emerald near the upper-left corner, deeper forest green toward the sides, fading to near-black at the bottom
8	Inside the stage:
9	Near-black background
10	White primary typography
11	Muted gray secondary text
12	Spotify green # 1ED760 for emphasis and controls
13	One clean sans-serif font, such as Geist or Inter
14	Consistent icon strokes and restrained shadows
15	Keep compositions compact and centered, with substantial negative space
16	Text should feel like music-product advertising, not oversized presentation headings
17	Do not add an outer caption, creator watermark, decorative footer, or progress counter
18	</art_direction>
19
20	<artwork> Create original square album artwork for a fictional track called “Glass Tides” by “AURA”
21	The hero cover is an abstract macro image of flowing pearlescent liquid silk and molten glass
22	Use pastel lavender, powder cyan, blush pink, champagne gold, and subtle mint
23	Include broad three-dimensional folds, realistic reflective highlights, delicate striations, and a prominent sweeping S-shaped fold
24	Fill the square edge to edge
25	No text, logo, or border on this hero artwork
26	Use this same artwork consistently throughout the film
27
28	Create additional designed playlist sleeves:
29	“Late Nights” in mustard yellow
30	“Good Energy” in pink
31	“Deep Focus” in blue
32	“Daily Mix 1”, “Daily Mix 2”, and “Daily Mix 3” in complementary colors
33
34	These should look like finished graphic-design covers, with bold typography and simple geometric motifs
35	</artwork>
36
37	<timeline> 0.0–0.6 seconds: A green Spotify icon grows smoothly into the center of the dark stage Give it a confident arrival with minimal overshoot

40	“Discover”

43	Reveal them with short masked vertical movements
44	1.5–2.4 seconds:
45	A stylized Spotify desktop interface rises into view

58	Transition into a horizontal strip of colorful playlist covers
59	Heading: “Every mood”
60	Supporting line: “Find what moves you”

100	Supporting line: “Your sound, always evolving”
101
102	12.5–14.0 seconds:
103	The playlist layout transitions into four floating album covers
104	Include the iridescent hero artwork
105	Use restrained rotation, perspective, depth ordering, and overlap
106	Keep their movement coordinated rather than randomly floating

108	The covers converge toward the center and fold around a green Spotify icon
109	The artwork withdraws as the icon becomes the focal point
110	Fade the player away
111	The Spotify icon must emerge from the same central position as the converging covers

114	Keep the icon and letters separated throughout the movement
115	Reveal:
116	“Discover new music”
117	“every day”
118	The first line is white; the second is green
119	Hold the finished composition cleanly through the end
120	</timeline>
121	<persistent_player>
122	For most of the middle sequence, keep one narrow rounded player bar near the bottom of the inner stage
123	Include:
124	Small hero-art thumbnail
125	“Glass Tides” and “AURA”
126	Play and skip controls
127	A thin progress track
128	A small volume icon
129	Subdued dark translucent styling with a fine border
130	This recurring player connects the changing shots
131	It must remain visually secondary to the artwork
132	</persistent_player>
133
134	<motion_quality>
135	Match the energy of a tightly edited premium product film
136	Most visual ideas last approximately one second, but transitions remain smooth
137	Use continuous acceleration and deceleration
138	Favor critically damped springs or carefully tuned smooth easing
139	No repeated bouncing or large elastic overshoots
140	Preserve the hero artwork’s identity and position relationships through search, album detail, brand tile, and zoom
141	Use match-position transitions, coordinated scaling, masked reveals, and perspective
142	Outgoing titles must disappear before incoming titles occupy the same space
143	Avoid overlapping text, sudden camera resets, long blank intervals, and arbitrary full-frame crossfades
144	Clip every oversized cover and camera move cleanly to the rounded stage
145	No particles, shockwave rings, lens flares, camera shake, or unrelated stock footage
146	</motion_quality>
147
148	<audio> Create or select commercially usable electronic music around 120 BPM Use a clean pulse, warm bass, restrained melodic elements, and subtle transition accents Align important entrances, selections, zooms, and the logo reveal with musical events Keep effects quieter than the music No voiceover Do not use copyrighted commercial tracks without permission </audio>
149	<implementation_and_validation>
150	Build a deterministic animation driven by absolute time through an async window. seek(t) function
151	Every transform, opacity, mask, and UI state must be reproducible when seeking frames in any order
152	Do not depend on live timers, accumulated physics, or CSS transition state during export
153
154	Render true 60 fps with spatial antialiasing
155	Use 3–5 temporal subframe samples per output frame for restrained motion blur
156	Keep stationary text and artwork sharp
157	Inspect contact sheets and moving playback
158	Check the fast heading changes, artwork handoffs, zoom, cover convergence, and final wordmark spacing
159	Verify evenly spaced frame timestamps and the full 18-second duration
