From an idea to a downloadable short film: generate through chat, organize on a canvas, edit media, and export from a timeline.
OpenDirector is an AI video creation workspace that runs locally and is accessed through your browser. Discuss ideas with the assistant and generate assets, organize and iterate on them on the canvas, edit images, video, and audio, then arrange your material on a timeline and export an MP4.
Use it to explore visual ideas, refine assets, and make short films. Projects stay on your machine; generation uses the provider APIs or self-hosted model services you choose.

@ to add references. Organize assets in one place and review generation history.If image generation repeatedly times out or disconnects through a system proxy, open Settings → Model connections → Edit service → Advanced connection and set Network connection mode to Direct connection. This affects that service's model requests and result downloads without changing the system proxy. Check the provider's records before starting another attempt when request acceptance is unknown.
We Can Still Win (《我们还能赢》) is a 60-second short about a middle-aged Dota 2 player.

Install and start OpenDirector for me by following this skill: https://github.com/ThinkFlowLab/OpenDirector/blob/main/.agents/skills/install-opendirector/SKILL.md
Source installation requires Python 3.11+, Node.js 24.22.1+ with npm, Git, and FFmpeg/ffprobe with libx264. We recommend a virtual environment to avoid dependency conflicts.
For macOS/Linux, using a python3 that meets the version requirement:
git clone https://github.com/ThinkFlowLab/OpenDirector.git
cd OpenDirector
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install -e .
opendirector serve
Open http://127.0.0.1:8000. Installation builds the frontend automatically; no separate npm commands are needed. See the installation guide for Windows, macOS prerequisites, and updates.
Configure a model service in Settings → Model connections to use AI chat and generation, or upload local media to start editing. The workflow is connect models → generate assets → edit → arrange a timeline → export. See Make your first short film.
Use Chrome or Edge for MP4 export, and keep the page and editor open while rendering.
