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.
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 ❤️
How does the tool handle character consistency across drastically different scenes or lighting conditions? Is there a training process required for custom characters?
I've been using this now internally for several weeks and it's so much fun! It's so cool to be able to envision something more complicated than a single 10-15 second scene and iterate on it until it's what you wanted. It's a great creative outlet and the things I can make look good enough that my friends and family aren't always annoyed by me sharing all the time.
I had the chance to get early access to OpenArt Director and it's amazing! I've been using OpenArt for a while now and I've created dozens of children's animation videos but using @OpenArt AI in Director mode is next level! Well done on this product. Looking forward to seeing how it gets even better.
Congrats on the launch!! What’s the primary use of OpenArt Director, is it general purpose videos or could be used for promotional content?
This is pretty slick! Excited to give it a try. We use remotion for making simple ads and tutorials, but feels like this would take things the extra mile
this is truly transforming. i can't wait for the day we can direct an entire movie with openart
@cocoopenart Our daughter (10) wrote a story about a long-lost princess that's been hanging on our fridge for months. I took a quick pic of it and had Director turn it into an animated short. Was a ton of fun working on it, and the smile on her face seeing her story come to life was everything. She wants to keep tweaking, so I think we've found a new weekend hobby!
"Vibe Directing" is such a cool concept. I'm so excited to see the continued progress in the field! I remember often that this was a science experiment 4 years ago, and a bit of a joke 2 years ago. Today, AI creative is starting to get really good... not perfect, but really really good. At this rate of improvement, 2027 is going to be mind-blowing!
This is awesome! I've used OpenArt before, but I can't wait to try out the new feature for making some longer form ads.
I really like how I can edit on the fly just with chat. I feel prompt adherence is really good and it captures the intent so well
I have seen many platforms... Used many of them to give a visual treat to my audience, but it's sometime complicated when giving the instructions and explain the complex scene, but honestly the @OpenArt AI and specially openart Director it's just wow 🤯 now I can save my time, only I need to chat about the story and the special requirements. Honestly if you guys can open a new thing like this im expecting more ❤️ ( future of the Big screen industry )
Tried the tool and was blown away by how good the first outcome was for an edu tutorial. The music speaks strongly to the visuals and frame level consistency was impressive!
Love that I can iterate on a scene without regenerating the whole thing. Saves so much time and credits.
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?
This gave me super powers, as I never thought I'd be "creative media person". Awesome product and launch!
