OpenMontage
World's first open-source, agentic video production system. 12 production pipelines, 100+ tools, 700+ agent skill and production-knowledge files. Turn your AI coding assistant into a full video production studio.
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.
