OpenArt Director
Launched this week
OpenArt Director lets you create cinematic AI videos simply by chatting. Generate videos up to 5 minutes long with consistent characters, scenes, voice, music, and visual style throughout. Director develops story arcs, plans scenes, maintains continuity, and helps refine videos through natural conversation - acting more like a creative director than a traditional video generator. You're not generating clips anymore - you're directing stories.
Launch Team
OpenArt AI
Hey Product Hunt community 👋
Coco here, co-founder and CEO of @OpenArt AI . We are excited to share with you what our team has been working on for the past few months - OpenArt Director.
Last year, we launched OpenArt One-Click Video Story on Product Hunt with one belief: AI video should make visual storytelling accessible to everyone.
Since then, we’ve watched millions of creators use OpenArt to make music videos, character stories, social content, and cinematic films.
Along the way, we learned something important: creators didn’t just want a one-click result.
They wanted to shape the story.
They wanted to guide the pacing.
They wanted to refine the video until it felt right.
They wanted to direct.
So today, we’re launching OpenArt Director - the next step in our vision for creative storytelling.
Director is a creative environment for creating cinematic videos through natural direction and conversation.
Start with an idea, script, image, song, voice, product, character, or even just a feeling. OpenArt Director helps you develop the story, generate the video, and refine it through conversation - while maintaining consistency across characters, visuals, voice, music, sound, and style.
Whether you're making a short film, a product ad, a music video, a social campaign, or simply bringing a story to life, Director keeps you in the creative seat from beginning to end.
You’re not prompting anymore.
You’re directing.
Director is a continuation of the same mission we've been pursuing from day one: making visual storytelling accessible to everyone.
We'd love for you to try it out and tell us what you think ❤️

@cocoopenart OpenArt Director really changes how people would create videos - from prompting scenes and stitching them together, to just simply chatting. You can ideate, brainstorm characters, change almost everything, and iterate, until you get the final piece, all via chat.
@cocoopenart merhaba ben bu özellige gercekten bayıldım ayrıca mcp ozelligi de çok iyi oldugunu söylemek isterim artık sadece bize dogru fikri bulmak kaldı 👍

@serkan_kara1 I'm glad you like it! Spoiler alert: Director will be soon available through our MCP too!
@cocoopenart Congrats on the launch! Curious how you're planning to grow the user base on TikTok/Instagram?

The "direct through chat" framing is interesting because the hard part of cinematic video isn't describing what you want, it's maintaining consistency across cuts. Shot matching, lighting continuity, subject appearance staying stable from scene to scene. Curious whether OpenArt Director handles that continuity layer or whether you're essentially getting a series of independent generations that you have to stitch and grade yourself. Also wondering what "cinematic" actually means in terms of the underlying model, whether you have control over aspect ratio, frame rate, and depth-of-field behavior, or whether those are fixed aesthetic presets baked into the output.
OpenArt AI
@fberrez1 well put! We handle the consistency layer via our workflow, so that the user doesn't have to repeatedly generate shots and pray that they stay consistent. And yes you can pick you aesthetic style, aspect ratio, etc. - you just need to say it. Different frame rate is currently not yet supported.
OpenArt AI
@luki_notlowkey Great insight and question. The process for the user is truly conversational - you just need to chat to tell OpenArt Director where to edit (e.g., "this shot doesn't look like me, pls change"). What we have set up the system to work in the background is more complex, so that the inconsistency shows up less; and when it does, you can just chat to let it fix for you.
Just cut a demo video for an enterprise deal, spent more time corralling clips than actually telling the story. "directing not generating" is exactly the gap. if it nails continuity over 5 min that's a real unlock. Would love to be able to stitch product demo video with B-roll and some character environment interactions so we could have laptop-side conversations that lead into product demo segments.
OpenArt AI
@david_mchale Instead of stitching product demo & B-roll & character environment interactions after generation, try talking to OpenArt Director and asking it to deliver just that. Hopefully that'll do the job directly! But if it doesn't, come tell us, and we will work on it =)
Character consistency across a 5-minute AI video is genuinely one of the hardest problems in this space - every tool I've tested struggles with face drift and lighting shifts between cuts. Would love to know how Director actually handles it under the hood, and whether that 5-min cap is a hard ceiling or just where quality starts degrading noticeably. Also curious what the chat-based direction looks like in practice - are you describing shots and moods in plain language, or is there more structured control for specific elements like camera angle or pacing?
@galdayan thanks Gal for the thoughtful question! 5-min is not a hard ceiling - we have users that generate 11-min music videos! But we are modest by saying 5-mins as that's the length which we've tested significantly. Chat-based experience is fully based on your habit - you can give very high-level instructions or super detailed instruction, and it can handle both.
Is there a cap on how many scenes one video can have? I tend to write in a lot of short beats rather than a few long shots, so I'm curious how granular it gets.
OpenArt AI
@yvette_luo no hard cap - it's as many scenes as you can image! If you want short beats / quick cuts - just tell OpenArt Director, and it will deliver for you.

Is there a real learning curve here, or is the first video genuinely something I could make in an afternoon with zero prep? Asking as someone with no editing background.
@robin_xw All you need is a sentence describing what story you want to create. Think of it as Claude Code for video creation - you don't need to know coding, and you sure don't need to know editing!
