The cause was the animation approach.
Claude Code first used web animation patterns.
Those patterns broke the frame during rendering.

You make video and motion graphics in code.
There is also an official plugin for Claude Code.

700,000 yen a month is the author's claim.
It is not a verified figure.
The bio says "high school graduate dock worker who makes AI videos."
"700,000 yen a month after three months of an AI side hustle" appears in the same post.
