# Turn a plain-language brief into a multi-step video production pipeline with OpenMontage

Use OpenMontage when an agent should take a brief or reference video and run the research, scripting, asset generation, editing, subtitle, and render pipeline as one production workflow instead of treating each media tool as a separate manual step.

## Prerequisites

Python 3.10+, Node.js 18+, FFmpeg, an AI coding assistant or agent runtime, and whichever media/model providers the chosen pipeline needs

## Installation

Choose whichever fits your setup:

1. Copy this skill folder into your local skills directory.
2. Clone the repo and symlink or copy the skill into your agent workspace.
3. Add the repo as a git submodule if you manage shared skills centrally.
4. Install it through your internal provisioning or packaging workflow.
5. Download the folder directly from GitHub and place it in your skills collection.

Install command or upstream instructions:

```
Clone the repository, run `make setup` or install the Python and Remotion dependencies manually, configure `.env`, then open the project in a supported coding-agent environment and request a video pipeline from a plain-language brief or reference video.
```
