## OpenMontage — Agentic Video Production

### 11 Production Pipelines

1. **Animated Explainers** — motion graphics with voiceover
2. **Talking Heads** — AI-generated presenter videos
3. **Screen Demos** — software walkthrough recordings
4. **Cinematic Trailers** — movie-style short clips
5. **Animations** — character and object animations

### 52 Production Tools

Spanning video generation, image creation, text-to-speech, music composition, audio mixing, subtitle generation, and quality analysis.

### How It Works

1. **Describe** — tell the system what video you want in plain language
2. **Research** — AI agents research the topic via live web search
3. **Script** — AI writes the script with timing and visual directions
4. **Generate** — assets created via multiple AI providers (selected by quality scoring across 7 dimensions)
5. **Compose** — Remotion assembles the final video with transitions, captions, and audio
6. **Render** — FFmpeg produces the final output
