OpenMontage is an open-source, agentic video production platform where an AI coding assistant (Claude Code, Cursor) orchestrates the entire pipeline. It provides a library of 100+ tools (video generation, audio, graphics, enhancement, analysis, avatar, subtitles) behind a scored provider selection layer, and 10+ production pipeline manifests (animated explainer, cinematic, documentary montage, talking head, etc.) that define stage order, approval gates, and tool assignments. The core architecture is a Python framework with a BaseTool class, ToolRegistry for auto-discovery, pipeline loader, checkpoint system, and a Remotion-based video composer. It also includes a Backlot living storyboard server for live production monitoring and an Ink Theater procedural puppetry engine. While primarily an application, it contains data/research elements such as ManimGL/ManimCE educational animation examples covering transformer internals, quantum mechanics, and ML concepts, as well as a CLIP-based corpus builder for documentary montage pipelines.
This repository is a motion-graphics video production toolkit designed for AI coding assistants (Codex and Claude Code). It provides a structured pipeline for turning talking-head footage into edited videos with animated overlays, using HTML/CSS/JS compositions driven by GSAP timelines. The system includes reusable style libraries (Vox Explainer and Kallaway) with hundreds of parameterized card templates, transcription and cut-detection scripts, beat-planning heuristics, and project scaffolding. The architecture is a collection of standalone Node.js scripts, agent skill definitions, and HTML templates rather than a monolithic application. It relies on external services (ElevenLabs, Kie.ai, HyperFrames CLI) and CDN-hosted libraries (GSAP, Google Fonts). The repo is actively maintained with recent commits and a CI pipeline, though it exhibits some duplication between mirrored skill directories and draft-status cards that have not all been individually rendered.
