🚨 This is insane.
Creating a real AI video for just $0.15?
This open-source project is making traditional editing workflows look ancient 😱🔥
Every day people jump between different AI tools trying to generate videos…
❌ Character consistency breaks
❌ Camera angles drift
❌ Editing feels random
Honestly, it’s enough to drive creators crazy.
Then I found a project that’s suddenly everywhere:
👉 OpenMontage
In simple terms:
Turn your Claude Code or Cursor into a fully automated AI video studio.
You describe.
AI produces.
🎬 Full production pipeline — automated
And this isn’t another slideshow generator.
From:
🧠 Understanding the topic
✍️ Writing storyboards
🎥 Generating visuals with Kling / Veo
🎙 Voice generation
📝 Subtitle creation
🎞 Final rendering with Remotion
Everything runs end-to-end automatically.
🎯 Direct it like a film director
Unlike typical:
“one prompt → random video”
You can control details precisely:
🎥 “Make this shot top-down”
🎵 “Fade in the music at second 3”
🧥 “Put the main character in a red jacket”
It doesn’t replace creativity.
It executes it.
💸 The cost is the crazy part
One example from the official showcase:
✨ Ghibli-style short film
🎞 Slow zoom effects
✨ Particle animations
Total generation cost:
🔥 Only $0.15 per video
Less than a snack.
And your production capacity suddenly feels 1000× bigger.
If AI video keeps evolving at this speed…
The definition of editing itself may change.
👇 Crazy… or inevitable?
