explainroo
Lets your AI coding agent make narrated explainer videos: it writes the script, builds the visuals and renders the voice and video on your own computer, with no API key needed. Free and open source.
iArt
iArt is an AI motion graphics agent that turns a text prompt, or uploaded images, PDFs, slide decks, audio or a web link, into animated scenes. It writes real animation code scene by scene (layout, typography, timing, transitions), so text stays exactly spelled and you can refine the result by chatting ("make the title two seconds shorter"). It handles explainers, logo animations, kinetic typography, animated charts, lower thirds and audio-synced captions, adds AI voiceover or a cloned voice, and exports MP4 (1080p on Pro, 4K on Ultra) or transparent WebM overlays.
CogVideoX
Open text-to-video and image-to-video models from Zhipu AI (Z.ai) and Tsinghua.
Google Flow
Google's AI filmmaking tool built on Veo. Generate and extend cinematic shots, keep characters consistent and build scenes, with a Flow agent to help.
LTX-2
Lightricks' open audio-and-video generation model. Official Python inference and LoRA trainer.
Showrunner
Make and watch AI-generated animated shows. Pick a world and genre and create episodes in minutes.
