Description

Montagea is an AI-first collaborative video production platform — "GitHub for AI video creation."

Making a film has always been a team sport, but AI video tools are built for one person in one tab. Montagea turns filmmaking back into collaboration: you write a script (with an AI writing partner that remembers your characters and voice), Montagea splits it into a scene-by-scene shot list, and each scene becomes an open call that any creator in the world can claim, render, and submit — reviewed and merged like a pull request.

Everything runs on-platform. Montagea aggregates 12 frontier video engines and 30+ video models — Google Veo, Kling, Seedance, Gemini Omni, MiniMax Hailuo, Grok Imagine, Runway, Alibaba Wan and more — alongside 20+ LLMs, 15+ image models, TTS and AI music generation, so a creator routes every shot to the model that actually nails it instead of paying five separate subscriptions. First/last-frame continuity, character reference sheets, voiceover and score all live in the same workspace, and the final cut auto-assembles as contributions are accepted.

Contributors get paid. Every accepted scene is permanently attributed to its creator and rewarded on the spot, and funded works can post paid open calls that pay real money per shot — the foundation for a transparent contribution ledger that will share commercial revenue proportional to the work each person shipped.

Montagea is live at montagea.com in English, Chinese and Japanese, with a free tier, credit packs and subscriptions. Creators use it to make short films, series and branded content that no single person could have made alone.
