AIandDesign blends generated footage into a “Missing You” video

• A Claude music-video plugin powers a “Missing You” reimagining that blends John Waite’s original scenes, fAIkout footage and Dreamina renders, according to AIandDesign.
• A man crying in a car sparked the song choice, the creator explained in a reply.
• The video extends a Rawkhaus Records collaboration that began on an earlier music-video project, as AIandDesign recalled.

The open-source plugin proposes three concepts and previews still frames before a full render. It also keeps a history of accepted videos to avoid repeating earlier work.

AIandDesign’s roughly four-minute edit combines original John Waite scenes with footage from collaborator fAIkout and newly rendered Dreamina clips. Matching the tape-era texture is the clever bit: the creator says the AI footage shares the original’s 1980s/VHS look and feel.

AIandDesign names Dreamina as the source of new renders but doesn’t publish the model, prompts or grading settings used for this video.

A scene of a man crying in his car made AIandDesign imagine “Missing You” playing on the radio. The song felt like the “exact perfect mood,” the creator explained afterward.

An episode sent over by fAIkout had also nearly brought the creator to tears, according to another reply.

The plugin’s README identifies its author as Marco van Hylckama Vlieg, linking to @AIandDesign. It documents this pipeline:

1. Analyze the song: identify its beat grid and sections from the supplied track and mood brief.
2. Gather footage: use the creator’s clips and photos, or search archive.org for public-domain and openly licensed films.
3. Optionally generate performers: request clips through a connected video-generation MCP server.
4. Assemble and render: cut footage to the beat and use a GPU compositor, with output in 16:9, 9:16 or square and the original audio.

The plugin waits for approval before downloading footage, spending credits or rendering. Those are documented capabilities of the tool, rather than a published step-by-step account of the “Missing You” production.

It runs locally through /music-video-generator:music-video. Its requirements include Claude Code, Python 3.10–3.13, ffmpeg and a GPU supporting OpenGL 3.3; the README says it cannot render inside claude.ai chat or Cowork.

AIandDesign reposted an earlier music video as the production that helped begin the wider collaboration with fAIkout, describing it as almost a year old.

For that video, the creator claimed four production roles:

• Creating the song cover.
• Creating the male character.
• Directing the video.
• Editing the video.

The repost directs viewers to Rawkhaus TV on Rad, a channel carrying music videos and episodes of “The Engagement.”
