OpenMontage is an open-source agentic video production system that converts AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf) into complete video studios. It provides 12 production pipelines—from animated explainers and documentaries to talking heads and cinematic trailers—orchestrated through 100+ tools, 60+ provider integrations, and 700+ agent skill files. The agent handles end-to-end workflows: research, scripting, asset generation, editing, and final composition, with human approval gates at every creative decision. It supports both free/local tools (Piper TTS, Archive.org footage, Remotion/FFmpeg rendering) and premium APIs (FLUX, Kling, ElevenLabs, Suno), with scored provider selection and budget controls built in.

Key Features

12 production pipelines including animated explainers, documentaries, cinematic trailers, talking heads, and character animation with full research-to-render workflows
100+ production tools spanning video generation (20+ providers), image creation (15+ providers), text-to-speech (10+ providers), music, and post-production
Reference-driven creation: paste a YouTube/TikTok video and get differentiated production concepts with cost estimates before execution
Backlot live storyboard: visual production dashboard showing real-time pipeline progress, asset approval gates, and per-scene cost breakdowns
Free/local video production path using Piper TTS, Archive.org/NASA/Wikimedia footage, and Remotion/HyperFrames rendering without paid APIs
Production governance with pre-compose validation, post-render self-review (ffprobe + frame sampling), slideshow risk scoring, and delivery promise enforcement
Scored provider selection across 7 dimensions (task fit, quality, control, reliability, cost, latency, continuity) with auditable decision logs
Budget controls with pre-execution estimates, spend caps, per-action approval thresholds, and reconciliation tracking
