The first open-source agentic video production system — Claude/Cursor made me a 60-second Pixar-level animated short in 3 minutes, for just $1.33!
OpenMontage turns your AI coding assistant (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, etc.) into a full-featured video production studio — already thousands of stars on GitHub and going viral!
Fully agentic: One sentence description — it researches, writes scripts, finds/generates assets, edits, adds voiceover, subtitles, and renders — all in one go.
12 professional pipelines: animated explainers, documentary montages, sci-fi trailers, product ads, Studio Ghibli-style anime…
52 tools + 500+ agent skills, supports real video footage (not fake GIFs!)
Ultra‑low cost: Works with zero API keys (local Piper TTS + free archive footage); with APIs it’s just pennies to a few dollars.
Backlot live dashboard: Monitor every step in real-time like you’re directing a movie — make changes on the fly, or lock approval when you’re not satisfied.
Real‑world examples (included in the project):
- The Last Banana: Pixar-style animated short — $1.33
- Library of Alexandria: Historical elegy — $0.02
- Product ad: Single OpenAI key — $0.69
