🚨BREAKING: An open-source agentic video production system just dropped. 11 pipelines, 49 tools, and a full product ad produced for $0.69 total. It's called OpenMontage. And it's not a text-to-video tool. It's a full production orchestration system where your AI coding assistant (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf) becomes the director. Describe what you want in plain language. The agent researches, scripts, generates assets, edits, and renders the final video. Here's what the pipeline actually does: → Live web research first: 15-25+ searches across YouTube, Reddit, news sites before writing a single word of script → 12 video generation providers: Kling, Runway Gen-4, Google Veo 3, MiniMax, plus local GPU options (WAN 2.1, Hunyuan, CogVideo) → 8 image generation providers: FLUX, Google Imagen 4, DALL-E 3, Stable Diffusion locally → 4 TTS providers: ElevenLabs, Google (700+ voices), OpenAI, and Piper offline for free → WhisperX word-level subtitles burned in automatically → Remotion for React-based animated composition with spring physics, transitions, TikTok-style captions → Budget governance: cost estimate before execution, per-action approval above $0.50, hard cap at $10 Here's the wildest part: One product ad. 4 AI-generated images, TTS narration, royalty-free music, word-level subtitles, Remotion data visualizations. Total cost: $0.69. Zero manual asset work. Works with zero API keys too. Piper narrates locally, Pexels/Pixabay provide free stock, Remotion animates everything. No spend required to start. 100% Open Source. AGPL v3 License. (Link in the comments)

How to make singing ad videos that are blowing up rn Full breakdown of the exact tools and workflow 👇 Step 1: Generate the music and lyrics Use Suno AI or Udio to create the song Prompt: "Upbeat, musical theater, Disney/Pixar style, female vocals, storytelling about [your product], 128 BPM" You can write your own lyrics (hmu if u can) or use Claude to draft a rhyming script first Step 2: Create your character Use Nano Banana for a consistent 3D character The master prompt: "3D Disney Pixar style, a woman with messy curly brown hair, expressive eyes, wearing a white t-shirt, soft cinematic lighting, 8k render, high detail" Save the seed number or use character reference to keep her looking the same across all scenes Step 3: Animation and lip-sync Scene generation: Use Luma Dream Machine or Runway Upload your character image and prompt (e.g., "Woman jumping rope in a gym, Pixar style") Lip-syncing: Use HeyGen or Sync Labs Upload your video clip and your audio file from step 1 The AI will re-animate the character's mouth to match the singing perfectly Dzine AI also works great for hyper-smooth lip-syncing on animated characters Step 4: Edit it all together Use CapCut Add auto captions with bold centered text that pops as words are spoken Use templates like "The Bold" or "Glossy" Add overlays like product diagrams or comparison charts using simple PNG images We're testing this format for a few clients right now and the engagement is crazy People watch these way longer than standard ads *we didn't make this ad

There's an untapped niche in AI videos for teaching Islamic ethics and jurisprudence, especially Islamic finance, halal investing, and Sharia-compliant business practices. I've not seen much exploration and innovation in breaking down Islamic rulings and principles with AI videos, procedural animations, and visual explainers. Most Islamic knowledge content online is still lecture-heavy, text-dense, or locked behind Arabic literacy. AI video tools (Runway, Pika, HeyGen, Synthesia) can make this knowledge accessible, visual, and shareable in ways that meet people where they already consume conten

Happy to announce that I've received the 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐳𝐞 on @runwayml's Big Ad Contest Award. I'm always keeping an eye on AI competitions and AI festivals, but this one was special for me because Runway was the first video AI tool that I've ever tried in my life. Since then they became giants in the AI space, supporting artists and integrating many models in their suite, also I would encourage everyone to follow @c_valenzuelab on Twitter for some deeper thoughts about the future of AI. The other reason is I've only realized the deadline was only days away, which forced me to ditch any complicated ideas and keep it very simple. And as it is with moving images: sometimes less is more. After seeing the top25 finalists I also had to realize that the bar has raised, last year you could post a 15 second demo and hundreds of comments would flood, but now - finally - we are back to the purpose of any media: to tell something words can't tell, tell a story, and have a message behind the cinema screen. I'll post the top 25 finalists in the comments so if you have time you can check out the artists and their work. Also planning to somehow help the local AI artists here in Vietnam, as soon as I have the plan for the best way to do so, will post about it later.

Fresh off of speaking at the Runway AI Summit yesterday in New York. A few thoughts after many fruitful conversations. I don’t come directly from tech. My goal isn’t to be a “tech or AI bro.” I come from film sets, edit bays, and storytelling. I come from film and art school, drawing naked figures for 6 hours a day. After incredible conversations I’d figured I’d share the real state of the union regarding AI and the art and film industry. What’s clear to me is this: AI isn’t waiting to “arrive.” It’s waiting for storytellers and artists bold enough to define it. Both old and emerging. Right now, we’re still in the phase where people are reacting to the tools and to tech demos. Not understanding the complex workflows that are developing to tell stories in new interesting ways. But the real shift happens when creators start bending the tools to their voice. When we are seeing more people who have been crafting stories their whole life start to emerge. That’s when this becomes something bigger than just click-bait content. That’s when it becomes cinema. And I assure you, many of us are doing just that. We need more storytellers in this space. Because without them, it takes longer to move forward in a meaningful way. When people start seeing the real voices and the real stores, it’s all she wrote. Coming sooner than you think.

I thought making multiple versions of the same video meant reshooting everything. Then I tried Aleph 2.0 in @runwayml I took one clip and changed specific parts using simple text instructions: → changed the style → updated the look → created a new variation The wild part? It only changed what I asked for. The camera movement, composition, and everything else stayed intact. This feels less like video editing and more like editing a document: - Describe the change. - Preview it. - Apply it. If you create content, ads, or product videos, this can save hours of production work. Aleph 2.0 is live on Runway now - https://t.co/QWz9sJblo7

AI doesn't edit your VSL. Let me be clear about that upfront. What AI does is eliminate the 6-8 hours your video editor spends hunting for stock footage and writing briefs for what they need. Here's how the production process actually works: Step 1: Your script is approved. You or the founder records A-roll — talking head on iPhone 14+ in a clean, well-lit room. Dark or simple backgrounds outperform busy ones for direct response. Use a teleprompter app. Record at 130-150 words per minute — slower than feels natural because the viewer is reading captions at the same time. Step 2: Feed the approved script into Claude with a B-roll extraction prompt. For every sentence or logical unit in the script, Claude outputs: scene type (problem visual, solution visual, proof visual, authority visual, lifestyle visual, product visual), a specific visual description in plain English, a generation prompt formatted for Midjourney or Runway, and whether the asset should be static or motion. Step 3: Output is a CSV — your production manifest. Script line, scene type, description, generation prompt, asset type. This goes directly to your video editor as their brief. Step 4: Generate all static assets in Midjourney. Generate all motion assets in Runway. Your editor now has every b-roll clip labeled, timestamped, and ready to drop in. Step 5: Your editor assembles the final cut — pacing, transitions, caption styling, color, the feel of the ad. This is the part you don't automate. The editor is what makes it feel like a real ad, not a slideshow. What this process eliminates: your editor spending hours searching stock footage sites, you going back and forth on "what kind of image should go here," and the miscommunication between creative direction and what actually gets produced. The AI generates assets. The human assembles them. That split is intentional. We've tested fully automated edits and they're not there yet. The editor's judgment on pacing and emotional timing is still the difference between a 2x and a 5x ROAS VSL.

There were a lot of takeaways from the Runway conference yesterday. But the one that has stayed with me most is the level of impact this company has had on people’s lives around the world. Having close to a thousand of your best users and customers together in the same physical space is something pretty surreal and unique in so many great ways. It makes the most abstract things feel very real. Whenever I could, I wandered around the main area and talked to people who had flown in from Spain, Sweden, Mexico, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, and so many other places just to be there for one day. People came up to tell me how using Gen-1 back then changed their lives. How Runway reshaped the way they work. How they found a new job. How it helped them reconnect with a dormant passion. Or simply how it made them happy. People whose lives were changed in ways both practical and deeply personal because something we built reached them at the right moment. The greatest fuel a team can have. It reminds you what all the work is for. It gives you energy to keep building, to keep pushing. To be reminded, in such a direct way, that the work matters. To be able to measure the number of lives you have changed for the better.

Earlier this week, we launched Runway Characters which represents a new type of real-time interaction with AI. These kinds of immersive simulated experiences are going to reshape the way we experience and engage with the internet. Building a technology this powerful means grappling with how it might be misused. Learn more at the link below about how we're building responsibly towards this new internet.

The idea that video models are too expensive to deploy does not make sense to me, and it usually comes from organizations that don’t understand the potential and surface area of the technology. If you believe, as I do, that video models are on the critical path to general intelligence, then it becomes a P0 problem to solve. It’s important to advance capabilities and efficiency at the same time. Improvements in efficiency help us deploy the models more widely and train them faster. People associate Runway with bringing new capabilities and control to video generation, but our work in making those models more efficient has been just as critical to getting them in front of tens of millions of users and 90% of the Fortune 100. We've invested in making video diffusion fast for a long time, bringing a distilled video model to market (Gen-3 Alpha Turbo) before anyone else. And we recently had to build an entirely new model serving stack from scratch to support real-time interactivity and instant generation as we start to deploy GWM-1 and our next world models. General, interactive world models will have a huge multiple of impact compared to traditional video models, and to get there you need a research organization that both understands how important those models are, and is insanely obsessive about getting the low-level details right. Here's a good place to contact such an organization: https://t.co/x6FBFRdN3p

Earlier this week, we brought nearly 700 leaders together in New York for @runwayml's inaugural AI Summit — and the energy in the room made one thing clear: the creative industry is at an inflection point. Across media, entertainment, gaming, advertising, and legal, two themes emerged consistently: Taste and transparency matter as much as capability. And the companies that will lead tomorrow are the ones embracing AI today. -Kathleen Kennedy of @Lucasfilm reminded us that taste is fundamental to the art of filmmaking — and that AI, in the right hands, will help us tell even better stories. -@HElsakr19489 (@Adobe) and @philwiser (@paramountco) shared how their organizations are navigating AI adoption honestly — leaning into the possibilities while being clear-eyed about the realities. -Creative principals at UNVEIL Studio and @Silverside_AI pushed this further: for them, AI isn't just a tool. It is the medium. -Christopher Harrelson of Why Brands shared a striking data point: designers using Runway have seen a 5x efficiency gain — enabling more work, faster iteration, and higher-quality outputs. Runway's own @theeddylee grounded it all in a sobering reality: only 10% of US businesses use AI in production, and 55% of corporate communications are still text-only, even as video drives 70% of internet traffic. The gap between where most companies are and where they need to be is wide. Can't wait to see what our next summit (un)covers!

Some quick experiments on 'multi-reference stacking' using @runwayml new 'Multi-Shot' app. You've only currently got one image slot, but you can montage them in one image as an input. 😎👍 - Rather than using Photoshop (time consuming!) - you can use NanoBanana or Seedream to generate you the montage reference by using their multi-inputs (up to 14 !) and some instructions not to change the content with no overlaps. - I did this with NB in Workflows as its a bit more visual and easier to swap them in and out. - The the results are surprisingly good (these were with my Runway Big Ad Contest 'Nothing Burger' ad refs) - will need some more testing to see if i can improve this further. This is particularly useful if you want to give more context and emphasis to the elements of your sequence. Hope this is useful! 😄 🍔🥤 p.s. Oh yes, if you want to see my submitted ad: 'Nothing Burger' - see the link in the thread! 👇

"Chronicles of Darius" I grew up watching Saturday morning cartoons and one of my favorites was the short-lived Dungeons & Dragons animated series. I always wanted to create something in that style, but never had the time or resources to do it. Last night, using Runway (with Kling 3.0 multi-shot and keyframes, and Nano Banana Pro), Midjourney, and Suno, I created this scene as a test for a fictional 80s fantasy series. Edited in DaVinci Resolve. I never thought this would be possible, yet here we are. There are still some rough edges, but this was just one evening. Runway's clean UI makes working on these projects a lot of fun.

Honestly, we’re just going to keep seeing more and more big filmmakers being open to AI in filmmaking and art and the Anti-AI crowd will have less and less arguments to make. The paradox is they’ll also get louder too. The problem for them is that they’ll increasingly sound whiny. Ron Howard on AI: “It’s very exciting in terms of its potential to more efficiently and more broadly help storytellers get their ideas out there,” Howard said of the hot-button tech. “There are so many facts yet to be sorted out,” he said, but added he thought the possibilities are very appealing and that others will agree. “We will want it.” Howard was speaking at the Runway AI Film Festival at Lincoln Center in New York Thursday, where he talked on stage with the video-generation company’s co-founder Cris Valenzuela. That conversation followed a similar AI-themed talk from earlier this spring between Valenzuela and Kathleen Kennedy, who was more circumspect. Perhaps most strikingly, Howard said that one of the most influential hand-crafted entertainers of the 20th century would also embrace AI if he was alive today. “Jim Henson just wanted to be busy making [things],” said Howard, who came to know the Muppets creator well from working on the 2024 documentary about him Idea Man. “That’s what these tools make so available and why they’re so exciting.” When asked about a backlash, Howard said, “You’re talking about change and people are worried about it. I’m worried about it, on a professional level. But again, our job is to experiment with it and learn from it and work with it,” adding, “It’s going to evolve. And audiences are going to tell us.”

Since Seedance 2.0 launched, the AI video scene has gone strangely quiet. Competing models have released almost nothing in months. No updates, no new versions, no visible progress from the rest of the field. It used to be different. Not long ago, Hailuo Minimax, Runway, Luma, and Veo rotated frequent improvements, keeping the space competitive with no single leader for long. Now, as Seedance prepares for version 2.5, its former rivals remain silent. There’s no sign they’re catching up or planning anything new. Development on those models seems to have simply stopped. Is development of the other video models still happening at all?

🚨 BREAKING: Runway AI launched Runway Characters and most people haven’t realized what this means yet. These are real-time intelligent avatars you can deploy inside apps, websites, and products. They can have a conversation. Here’s what they can do: → Hold real-time conversations → Use custom voices and personalities → Access bespoke knowledge bases → Integrate anywhere via API For years the internet looked like this: → Pages → Forms → Chatbots Now it might have this too: → Characters The AI avatar market is projected to cross $500B by 2030. And the interface of the internet is shifting: Click → Type → Talk Companies that understand this shift early will build products that feel alive.

Every interface, feature, workflow, app, modality are getting copied into existing AI creative platforms faster than ever. ComfyUI was the leader in node-based workflows for a year or two before Weavy and Flora and others came onto the scene. 6-9months later, Krea, Runway, Freepik, etc. all have node-based workflows. In early 2026, we started to see rumblings of agentic models for creation. Luma Agents, OiiOii, CapCut/Dreamina, Flora, Runway, (we've also seen lot more in stealth) etc. have all launched agentic workflows (btw, this is distinct from multi-shot, which Sora2, Seedance, Kling, etc. are capable of) within the last 2 months. Layering chat on top of workflows to make AI creation feel more seamless is now getting commoditized fast. This is felt even more distinctly in the pure software space. It's so easy to take an interface and remix it, reverse engineer it, etc. I'm genuinely not sure what keeps users around, as a result: marketing and discounting tokens? That can't last forever. Users are notoriously disloyal post-ChatGPT. For AI creation workflows, this is profoundly exciting, because I don't think we've hit yet at the stickiest modality to harness the power of the foundation image and video models. But this also means the AI companies have to ship SUPER fast to keep their users' attention spans and address their creative needs.

The finale of OpenAI vs Anthropic has already begun and nobody's talking about it. The AI race is in its endgame and the labs have taken polar opposite positions on distribution. Both competitors are quietly building their arsenal for D-day: Their IPOs. OpenAI is already stacking its superapp and the latest addition is Runway on ChatGPT. Ask ChatGPT to write a video script, call Runway directly through MCP. Make edits there and then. No copy-paste and tab switching required. While this may not look like a revolution, it signals a huge shift. OpenAI may have all the distribution but none of it justifies its IPO valuation. So they're creating this superapp to offset those worries. Just a week ago, OpenAI acquired Ona, a cloud agent startup to fast-track Codex's local to cloud deployment cycle. This means anything built on OpenAI architecture risks losing business. Wrappers, integration platforms and anything that can become the Superapp's niche. The market failed to pick this up, but this can spell disaster for founders and builders too dependent on ChatGPT. On the other hand, Anthropic has made a counterintuitive bet by listening to the customers. Anthropic is officially taking back their decision to ban programmatic use of Claude Code subscription quota, something long criticized by users. This extends their subscription to a wider range of applications, leaning more into being an infrastructure provider rather than a superapp. We pivoted from Claude Agent SDK to a multi-model agent, so that we were more versatile moving forward and not tied to only one model. But this move from Anthropic has me thinking. They know their users really well. I'd still recommend not being tied to just one model, because when AI giants collide, it's generally the users who are swept away in the undercurrent. While OpenAI is trying to be a jack of all trades, Anthropic is betting on its core customer: the enterprise. It's like watching Apple vs Android all over again. Two very contrasting approaches to distribution. Winner takes everything. Let's see how it plays out.

Netflix just rejected an $83 billion library. Then bought a 16 person AI company. That tells you exactly where media is going. For years the industry believed the future was buying old IP. Massive libraries. Legacy catalogs. Decades of content. But most legacy IP is not automatically valuable. If it has not been curated, maintained, or actively developed, it becomes expensive nostalgia rather than a living franchise. Some studios built entire strategies around stockpiling libraries and hoping the value would compound. Netflix just signaled a different path. Instead of spending $83 billion on a legacy catalog from Warner Bros., they preserved their balance sheet and quietly acquired a stealth AI startup called InterPositive. A 16 person team that has spent four years building production AI focused on the post production pipeline. That decision says a lot about how the economics of entertainment are changing. Netflix spends roughly $20 billion per year on content. Post production and VFX typically consume 20 to 25 percent of a production budget. That means about $4 to $5 billion a year flows through color correction, relighting, environment work, and continuity fixes. If InterPositive can reduce even a small portion of that workflow, the savings compound across the entire slate. But the real strategic shift is not just cost. Ted Sarandos said it clearly in 2024. The goal is not simply to make content cheaper. The goal is to make content better. InterPositive’s model is trained on a production’s own dailies. It can adjust lighting, repair continuity issues, and help filmmakers refine shots inside the existing pipeline. Instead of replacing creators, it accelerates the craft. That approach is fundamentally different from models like Sora, Runway, or Kling that generate clips directly from prompts. Those systems create content from scratch. InterPositive enhances what filmmakers already shoot. Which brings us back to the bigger strategy. Libraries look powerful on paper. But in today’s fragmented entertainment landscape, the real advantage is creating new franchises designed for the modern audience from day one. Fresh IP. Built for global distribution. Designed for expansion across film, series, games, and interactive media. AI does not just reduce production costs. It lowers the barrier to developing entirely new worlds and characters that can grow into the next generation of franchises. Netflix did not buy the past. They invested in technology that helps them build the future. Wolf Mike Mozart

Here's everything that matters: → Video generation built in. Ask your agent to make a video. Grok, Wan, or Runway handles it natively. No third party pipelines. → Music generation built in. Google LIA and Minimax bundled. Agent produces audio tracks directly inside its workflow. → Dreaming memory system runs every night at 3am automatically. Light, deep, and REM phases. Agent learns which messages get replies, which follow-ups work, and consolidates that into long-term memory without you doing anything. → Structured task progress. Clients can now watch every step happen in real time instead of staring at a loading spinner. → Prompt cache stabilized. Cache breaks less. API costs drop. Agent responds faster. 6 months ago OpenClaw was a chat platform with strong agent features. Now it's a full media and automation studio that runs inside your business. Your agent holds conversations, generates video and music, remembers what matters, tracks its own progress, and runs in the background while you focus on everything else. The gap between "I have an AI agent" and "my business runs on AI" just got a lot smaller.
