## What it is
OpenMontage is an open-source agentic video production system that turns AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot) into full video production studios. It provides 12 production pipelines, 100+ tools, and 700+ agent skill/knowledge files covering research, scripting, scene planning, narration, music, composition, and rendering.

## Use cases
- make a 60-second launch video from a brief and brand kit
- turn a blog post into a narrated explainer video
- generate videos with AI agents using ffmpeg and remotion
- automate video production pipelines with Claude Code
- produce captioned and narrated videos from screen recordings
- create marketing videos with AI-generated b-roll and voiceover
- build an agentic video studio inside my coding assistant

## When to choose
- you want end-to-end automated video production driven by an AI coding agent
- you need scripted pipelines for narration, captions, b-roll, and rendering
- you prefer open-source and want every production stage inspectable and editable
- you already use Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or similar agents

## When to avoid
- you need a traditional GUI video editor with manual timeline control
- you want fully free generation without paid API costs for image/clip/voice providers
- you need real-time or live video editing
- your project is incompatible with AGPL-3.0 licensing
