Turn a plain-language brief into a multi-step video production pipeline with OpenMontage

Use OpenMontage when an agent should take a brief or reference video and run the research, scripting, asset generation, editing, subtitle, and render pipeline as one production workflow instead of treating each media tool as a separate manual step.

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+, Node.js 18+, FFmpeg, an AI coding assistant or agent runtime, and whichever media/model providers the chosen pipeline needs

Installation

Requirements and caveats from upstream:

• Agent calls Python tools -- scored provider selection ranks every tool across 7 dimensions
• Python provides tools and persistence. All creative decisions, orchestration logic, review criteria, and quality standards live in readable instruction files (YAML manifests + Markdown skills) that you can inspect...
• | Remotion | Local (Node.js) | React-based programmatic video — spring-animated image scenes, stat reveals, section titles, hero cards, TikTok-style word-by-word captions, scene transitions (fade/slide/wipe/flip),...

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
