Open source · AGPLv3 · Agent-first
Your AI agent is now a
video production studio.
Reelwright turns Claude Code, Codex, or any coding agent into an end-to-end production team — research, script, footage, edit, and final render from a single prompt. It's open source, and it runs with zero paid API keys.
✓ Runs with zero paid keys✓ 13 pipelines · 70+ tools✓ Example builds from $0.15
Example productions
Real videos. Real costs. Cents, not subscriptions.
These are productions the Reelwright team shipped end-to-end — concept to final render — with the exact API spend shown. Your agent does the work; you approve the creative.
What you get with zero keys
A full free stack, out of the box.
You don't need paid API keys to make real videos. make setup wires up a complete open toolchain — add keys later only if you want more.
Piper TTS
Free, offline, human-sounding narration — no cloud, no per-word billing.
Open archives
Archive.org, NASA, Wikimedia plus free-key stock from Pexels, Unsplash & Pixabay.
Remotion + FFmpeg
Real timelines with spring physics, transitions, typography and word-level captions.
Not just Ken Burns
Semantic CLIP retrieval cuts actual motion footage into a finished edit — free/open sources only.
Grounded, not guessed
15–25+ live web searches across YouTube, Reddit, news & academic sources before a word of script.
Word-level subtitles
Auto-generated timing, TikTok-style — burned in and ready for social.
Why it's different
Most tools give you a clip. This gives you a production team.
There's no code orchestrator — your coding agent is the orchestrator. Every creative decision lives in inspectable YAML manifests and Markdown director skills, and every choice is logged with alternatives and confidence.
13 pipelines, 400+ skills
Explainers, talking heads, screen demos, cinematic trailers, podcasts, localization, documentary montages and more — powered by 70+ production tools.
No vendor lock-in
A scored selector ranks every provider across 7 dimensions and picks the best match. Swap free/local and cloud providers freely.
Anti-slideshow gates
Delivery-promise enforcement blocks slideshow-looking renders; mandatory post-render self-review (ffprobe + frames + audio) means no garbage ships.
Reference-driven
Paste a video you love — the agent turns it into a grounded, differentiated plan instead of making you invent the perfect prompt.
No surprise bills
Cost estimate before execution, spend caps, and per-action approval thresholds. You see the number before you spend it.
