What is OpenFilm?
OpenFilm is an open-source AI video agent toolkit: install it as a skill (npx skills add openfilm/openfilm) and Claude Code, Codex or any coding agent can make a film. The agent writes the film as web pages, where each shot is a page that draws any moment with one frame(t) function using CSS, SVG, canvas, WebGL, three.js or video, and film.html cuts the pages, footage, pictures and sound together on tracks.
Studio, a local editor that runs in your browser (or in the macOS and Windows desktop app, with a chat for your agents beside it), shows the film taking shape and lets you change any text, color, element or clip by hand. It renders MP4 up to 4K, GIFs, transparent video, stems, subtitles and timelines for Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve; generated voice, music, images and video come from services you connect with your own keys.
