Hobbyists and creators wanting a short story video from a chat brief can try it; whether a free plan exists is unclear.
Kenning's take
What it does
Director is a part of OpenArt where a user describes a story, characters and style in a chat, and an AI agent called Ori builds a complete video with visuals, voices, music and sound. Videos can run up to five minutes and keep characters consistent across scenes, and any scene can be changed by asking. It runs on models such as Seedance 2.0 and GPT Image 2, and is included in OpenArt's credit-based plans.
- Videos up to five minutes long
- Chat-based directing with the Ori agent
- Consistent characters, faces and voices across scenes
- Brand kit for logos, fonts and images
- Formats such as ads, trailers, music videos and micro-dramas
- Commercial use of finished films
Who it suits. Creators, marketers and small brands that want short films or video ads without filming or editing.
