OpenMontage: The Open-Source Agentic Video Studio & Production Pipeline ⚡
How to turn your AI coding assistant into a complete video production house: generating scene plans, cinematic video motion, voiceovers, and Remotion timelines from plain English.
OpenMontage is the first open-source agentic video production system (#1 Trending on GitHub). It allows developers and creators to prompt an AI agent to research, storyboard, generate motion video clips (via Kling v3, Veo, Fal.ai), record high-fidelity voiceovers (Google Chirp3-HD, ElevenLabs), and compile final code-based video timelines using Remotion.
By combining generative motion models with stock video retrieval and programmatic React-based Remotion rendering, high-quality 60-second product showcases and animated shorts cost between $1.30 and $4.00 total to render.
Production Capabilities
- Real Video Motion: Generates continuous motion clips or retrieves stock footage rather than merely zooming on still images.
- Multi-Track Audio Composition: Synthesizes speech with Google Chirp3-HD / ElevenLabs and automatically layers background music from Pixabay.
- Code-Based Timeline Rendering: Exports directly to clean Remotion TypeScript code for pixel-perfect frame control and caption styling.
1-Click Agentic Video Storyboard & Scene Plan Prompt
Paste this prompt into Claude or OpenMontage to design a production-ready video storyboard:
Act as an elite Cinematic Director and AI Video Producer using the OpenMontage framework. I want to create a 60-second video on: [INSERT VIDEO CONCEPT / TOPIC]. Generate a complete, production-ready scene composition plan: 1. CONCEPT & TONE: - Logline, visual aesthetic (lighting, color palette, camera motion), and target audience 2. SCENE-BY-SCENE TIMELINE (60 seconds total, 5-6 scenes): For each scene provide: - Scene ID & Duration (e.g. Scene 1 [00:00 - 00:08]) - Visual Motion Prompt (Exact camera angle, subject motion, physics, and lighting prompt for Kling v3 / Veo) - Narration Script (Word-for-word voiceover script for Chirp3-HD / ElevenLabs) - Sound Design & SFX (Foley, risers, whooshes, and background soundtrack mood) - Transition (Cut, match-cut, whip-pan, or zoom) 3. REMOTION CODE STRUCTURE: - Recommended text overlay placement, kinetic word-level caption styles, and aspect ratio (16:9 or 9:16).
