OpenMontage Studio is a desktop studio where an AI agent takes your idea through script, scenes, narration, and render — and most of it runs locally, on your machine.
Local-first · no API keys required · your prompts and footage stay on your machine
Not a prompt box that returns a clip. A studio that walks your idea through a real production pipeline — and lets you steer at every step.
Describe what you want; the agent drafts the plan stage by stage. You approve, revise, or redo — it never ships behind your back.
A local model (Ollama) plans, on-device speech narrates, and ffmpeg renders. Cloud providers are optional, never required.
Scenes are composited with their narration into an actual MP4 — text, timing, and audio, produced on your machine.
Local and cloud generators sit behind one interface. Online vs offline is just “which endpoint” — swap freely.
Preview, a dual-layer timeline, an inspector, and an approval gate on every creative stage. You're always in control.
Accounts with email verification, password reset, and one-click delete. You decide what's collected — and can opt out anytime.
Each stage produces one artifact that becomes the brief for the next. Creative stages pause for your approval; technical stages run through.
One line — “a 30s explainer on black holes.” The agent locks the hook, length, and tone.
Written for the ear and budgeted to the runtime, so narration never overruns the cut.
A hook, a few beats, a close — varied scene types with on-screen text and timings.
On-device voiceover and scene visuals, generated locally first; cloud only when you ask.
Cuts aligned to narration, captions, and ducked music — decisions you can see and change.
ffmpeg composites everything into a real 1080p video with audio. Press play.
The default path needs no API keys and no internet: a local LLM, on-device text-to-speech, and ffmpeg. Go online when you want the best cloud models — the app is honest about exactly which provider runs each step.
