OpenMontage is an open-source, agent-driven video production system. It is a repository of pipelines, tools and agent skill files that an AI coding assistant (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Codex) reads and executes. The user describes a video in plain language, and the agent handles research, scripting, asset generation, editing and final composition.
The GitHub repo lists 12 production pipelines, 100+ tools and 700+ agent skill and production-knowledge files. Compositions are rendered with Remotion, HyperFrames, Blender or FFmpeg. Generation can use external providers such as Veo, Kling (via fal.ai) and Google Chirp TTS. A free workflow instead builds a corpus from stock footage and open archives and edits real motion clips. It can also start from a reference video (YouTube, Short, Reel, TikTok or local clip), analyse its pacing and style, and propose concepts with cost estimates before production.
It runs locally under the user's own coding assistant, so output quality and cost depend on the assistant and on whichever third-party generation APIs are configured. The README's example videos report costs of roughly $1.33 to $5 in generation fees. The code is licensed AGPL-3.0.
