OPEN-SOURCE AGENTIC VIDEO PRODUCTION
Make video the way you now make software.
Give it a brief and your materials. The agent plans the story, generates images and clips when needed, creates animation, and sources B-roll. It then narrates, captions, renders, and reviews the finished, editable video before presenting it to you—every step yours to direct.
Make a 60-second launch video for our monitoring tool — use the brand kit and the dashboard recording. Developer audience.

AGENT-NATIVE
It runs where you already work.
Install the plugin and your agent’s chat becomes the production chat. The engine ships once as an MCP toolset — one toolset, whichever harness you use.
01
Runs in Claude Code or Codex
Install OpenMontage as a plugin and it runs inside the agent you already use — a toolset in your terminal, not another app to run.
02
Bring your own models
Use the model providers and local runtimes already configured in your agent environment.
03
Or skip the terminal entirely
The same production board opens in OpenMontage Studio — in private alpha, beta releasing soon.

A warm production board over the same engine — storyboard, script, approvals, renders. Chat steers everything; every card the agent makes is something you can read and question.

Claude Code, Codex or OpenCode. Bring your own keys and providers too.

No watermarks. Ever.
Your own composition stays clean, editable, and exportable in every supported format.
05
Steerable at every step
Brief, script, scene plan — every artifact the agent makes is a document you can read, question and change.
