# OpenMontage Studio

> OpenMontage Studio is an agentic video production studio: the whole film studio in one conversation. A person describes what they want; the same AI agent researches it, writes it, records or generates it, edits it and delivers the finished film, across video, images, audio, animation and 3D. The agent is Claude Code or Codex, using the person's own Claude or ChatGPT account or an API key. Media comes from free local tools, the person's own provider accounts, or OpenMontage credits. Studio is in private alpha on Windows with a waitlist. It is made by the team behind the open-source OpenMontage project on GitHub, but Studio itself is a separate, proprietary desktop product.

## Key facts
- **Category**: agentic video production. Complete productions, not single clips.
- **Agent**: Claude Code (Claude account or Anthropic API key) or Codex (ChatGPT account or OpenAI API key), running inside Studio. An agent the person already runs can also connect to Studio's tools through a local connection.
- **Plan first**: the agent shows the production plan for approval before expensive generation; every scene, line and cut can be directed afterwards.
- **Local by default**: the studio runs on the person's computer. Material goes to a cloud provider only when the person chooses one.
- **No lock-in**: local tools (offline voice, local transcription, the person's own Blender and ComfyUI), the person's own provider accounts, or optional OpenMontage credits.
- **No watermarks.**
- **No developer setup**: no Python or command line needed; Studio sets up the tools it needs with permission.
