GPT-6 Astra Made This Entire Video

summarized

TLDR

GPT-6 Astra can now generate a complete YouTube video from a single prompt, including script, footage, voiceover, and editing. The demo showed a professional-quality result using the user's voice clone and avatar, costing roughly $60 in API fees for 50 minutes of generation.

Key points

OpenAI released GPT-6 Astra on September 3rd with computer use and longer tasks.

Astra created a full video from one prompt, including script, B-roll, editing, and sound.

The presenter used Nate Herk's voice clone and Henan Avatar V5 for narration.

The generation took about 50 minutes and would cost approximately $60 in API billing.

Astra can build 3D worlds and games, as shown by examples like Matt Schumer's Manhattan world and Riley Brown's shooter.

0:00 You guys are not going to believe how ridiculous this is. I gave Astra this one prompt and this is what I got back. I'm Astra 6. You're looking at Nate Herk's avatar speaking with his voice

0:08 clone. I made this video. I found the footage, captured the posts, wrote the script, and built the edit. The music and sound effects. I handled those, too. Nate asked for a video about my release

0:18 and what people are building with me. So, let's open the files. There's a city, a shooter, a Minecraft style game, and the production you're watching right now. Matt Schumer shared this Manhattan

0:27 world built with Astra in Unreal Engine. [music] Watch the camera drop from the skyline to street level. Buildings, traffic, storefronts. His post says the project ran over a week with Astra

0:37 working street by street. He also says finding a setup that could run that long took work. This is the kind of assignment I can keep returning to. Inspect a scene, make changes, and check

0:46 the result. Riley Brown took that loop into a game. Riley posted this Call of Duty style shooter and said he played for about 2 hours [music] asking GPT6 for changes between matches. You're

0:57 looking at his actual gameplay over here. Flavio shared a Minecraft style build he described as one shot. The clip shows movement, an inventory, crafting, and breaking blocks. Those are creator

1:08 reports, and I've linked their original posts. [music] I like that you can see people interacting with the results. Now, watch what happens when the output needs to stay editable. Tom Kerchie gave

1:17 Astra an old train drawing. He reports more than 3,000 editable objects in Blender. Watch him select one piece. That's a file someone can open and keep working on. Yunf used listing photos to

1:27 build this house walkthrough. He flagged wrong details himself, so you'd still need to compare it with the real place. I work with that same discipline on a video. Keep the source, inspect the

1:35 output, and fix what doesn't match. Daniel th shared this motion video and reported 14 minutes of generation plus two changes. Look at the way the interface moves through the frame. I

1:46 used that as a visual reference for this edit. OpenAI released GPT6 Astra on September 3rd with computer use and longer tasks as major themes. Access is rolling out in stages for this job.

1:58 Computer use meant opening the original posts, capturing the pages, and checking what was actually on screen. Then I worked through Nate's project folders. I found his avatar setup, his voice clone,

2:07 and the tools already connected to this workspace. I split the narration into short segments, sent the audio to Hunen Avatar V5, and organized the results beside the original demos. This blue

2:17 background is Nate's own image. I brought that in, too. The edit lives in hyperframes where I can control the timing of a camera move, a word, a clip, or a transition. I built the sound

2:27 around those cuts. Music carries the longer moves. A click lands on an interface change. A short break gives the next shot room to hit. Then, I rendered the video and checked frames

2:36 from the exported file. I also transcribed the finished audio and compared it with the script. If a title gets clipped or a sound covers a word, I can go back to the project and fix it.

2:45 That's how I get from an idea to a file you can use. You've just watched the result. The presenter is Hen Avatar V5. The voice is Nate's 11 Labs clone. I directed those tools and built the

2:56 Hyperframes edit around real source material. Nate gave me the assignment and feedback. I carried out the production. You can open the video, the subtitles, and the source list, and you

3:04 can judge the work for yourself. Give me a project with a clear finish line. What would you have me build? I mean, that is absolutely crazy. So, let me show you guys the prompt and then

3:15 tell you how much that actually cost. So, I said, I need you to take me from idea to finished YouTube video. I want you to create me an engaging and professional video about GBT6 Astra. You

3:24 need to use Nate Herk's voice clone and Hen avatar. So, I did give it that context. I said, "Start the video off by telling everyone that this is not Nate and that you orchestrated the entire

3:31 video. You planned it out. You researched it. You grabbed all the B-roll. You grabbed the screenshots, you edited everything, and you produced a finished video, which is what they're

3:38 watching right now. I want this to feel professional, like it was edited by a human using hyperframes. Do not give me a draft or a PC. Give me a finished working version that I can post on my

3:46 YouTube channel. So, you can see this prompt isn't very specific. It was pretty open-ended. I let it basically do its work, and I got out of its way. I obviously told it a few things like to

3:54 use my voice clone and my avatar and to, you know, work in some verification. So, you're not just giving me the first version. I think it probably would have done that on its own, but I always just

4:02 throw that in there at the end. Now, as far as the cost, I have been blowing through this limit like crazy. I've already used two of the resets that they gave us, and I'm 50% left on this third

4:11 one. But let me show you guys what this would have costed. If this was API billing, it would have been about 60 bucks. Now, I was also on fast mode, so it would have been more expensive. But

4:20 to get an output like this that took about 50 minutes is really insane. So, that was one of the first experiments I wanted to run. I'm obviously running a ton more. I've got a ton of other

4:28 content planned with Astra 6. I mean, I'm having so much fun here, but hopefully you guys enjoyed the video. If you did, please give it a like. Helps me out a ton. And as always, I appreciate

4:35 you guys making it to the end, and I'll see you in the next one.
