OpenVidi

OpenVidi turns a single topic prompt into a finished 7–15 minute narrated YouTube video, or a short. The full pipeline runs end to end: web research, script writing, voiceover, scene-by-scene visuals, optional animation, and final assembly into a 1080p MP4. Average generation time is around 45 minutes. The defining feature is a bring-your-own-cloud model. Instead of paying a marked-up compute fee, the user connects their own Google Cloud project and pays Google directly at cost. Google's $300 free tier credits cover roughly the first 8–10 full-length videos before any out-of-pocket spend, and the exact cost stays visible in the user's own GCP dashboard. Other capabilities include uploading a custom script, supplying a custom voiceover, directing the visual style, and regenerating any single scene without rebuilding the whole video. It is built specifically for long-form narrative content — historical documentaries, science explainers, true crime, and educational videos — rather than short clips.
