Martini

Roadmap & Position in AI Filmmaking

Collaborative AI filmmaking platform orchestrating the best video generation models for directors.

Company Overview

Collaborative, browser-based AI-native filmmaking platform that orchestrates leading AI video and image generation models (Veo 3.1, Sora 2 Pro, Kling 3.0 Pro, etc.) with professional cinematic controls, real-time team collaboration, and timeline editing with XML export to Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Final Cut Pro.

What They're Building

The company's public product roadmap & what they're committed to building.

Martini has publicly launched its browser-based collaborative filmmaking platform with model-agnostic AI video/image generation, cinematic camera and lens controls, real-time multi-user collaboration, and XML export to major NLEs. Over 200 films produced on the platform. Creative Partnership Program offering early access, priority support, and custom integrations for studios and agencies.

Martini

's Moat:

Model-agnostic orchestration across Veo, Sora, Kling, and others means Martini improves whenever any model improves, without rewriting the product. Professional cinematic controls (camera, lens, motion) serve directors who Runway and Pika do not target. NLE export (Premiere, DaVinci) keeps Martini in the professional workflow rather than replacing it.

How They're Leveraging AI

Multi-model orchestration

Model-agnostic AI orchestration engine that routes each shot to the optimal generative video or image model based on creative intent, enabling filmmakers to direct AI-generated footage with professional cinematic controls (camera, lens, movement) across multiple foundation models in a unified workspace.

Collaborative generative editing

Real-time collaborative AI filmmaking workspace enabling multiple team members to simultaneously prompt, generate, review, and iterate on AI-generated shots within a shared browser-based timeline editor, with XML export to industry-standard NLEs.

Cinematic AI previsualization

AI-driven cinematic previsualization system that translates directorial intent—camera angles, lens choices, blocking, and movement—into structured generative parameters, enabling rapid visual prototyping of scenes before committing to full production or final AI rendering.

AI Use Overview:

Using multi-model orchestration across Veo, Sora, and Kling, collaborative generative editing with cinematic controls, and AI previsualization.
