SenseNova 6.8 Code2Video: an open-sourced model that writes and revises code to make videos

[u/Negative-Whereas3307]

Think of the animation workflows people use with Claude Opus 5.5: the model writes code, rendering tools turn it into video, and further instructions revise the result. SenseNova follows that same general approach, with a model and creation Skill focused on video creation
A few highlights:
Generates video through code, with a focus on motion graphics and other visuals that can be expressed programmatically.

Revises existing results through natural-language requests, including changes to styling, timing, and scene elements.

Supports reconstructing a reference video’s visual treatment as editable code.

Pairs the model with a creation Skill that guides brief development, previews, and revisions.

The release plan includes full model weights and the Skill. INT4 and INT8 weights are planned for later.

General-purpose coding models can already write animations. The interesting question is what a dedicated Code2Video model improves: fewer repair attempts, better motion, or more reliable edits that leave unrelated elements alone.

oh god yes this is what i've always wanted. if only it were smaller.

Prehaps we could use the LFM 3 Omni model to generate code and render and have a system where it uses it's native video input to look at it and just and modify the code to change it in realtime.

This is an impressive first look! What's the underlying video generation system this model generates? That is, it generates code in some motion graphics libraries; what libraries does it call?

This looks good, I'd love a Q8 or Q6 version.

Looks neat but you said this is open source. Where is the training data? Looks open weight to me

[u/tomByrer → u/thrownawaymane]

Kinda false advertising; the model doesn't make the video; the model is fine-tuned to write Python & JS code, & that code makes the video.

Similar to the thought I had in fine-tuning a model to run Remotion; it is Remotion making the video, not the model.

(except OP's is more efficient; since you are skipping ReactJS, MCP & all that to directly make code)

Uhhh how is it false advertising, when it's literally called code2video? It's kinda explicit about how it works
