Martini

What is Martini?

Martini is a browser-based, collaborative platform purpose-built for professional AI video production. Unlike generic AI tools centered on prompts and seeds, Martini puts users in the director's chair — offering precise camera control, an integrated production pipeline, and real-time team collaboration. It is used by filmmakers, studios, creative agencies, and artists who need professional-grade results from generative AI. Backed by Y Combinator (W26) and founded by cinematographer Koh Terai, Martini has already powered over 200 films, including TV commercials, art installations, and viral online content.

Key Features

• Camera Control & Director's Precision

  Step into any image or video to reframe and reshoot. Compose shots by adjusting camera position, lens choice, and movement — rather than relying on unpredictable prompt outputs.

• Integrated Production Pipeline

  Image generation, video generation, and world models are unified in a single workspace with a built-in timeline. Export rough assemblies as XML for direct use in Premiere or DaVinci Resolve.

• Real-Time Team Collaboration

  Share prompts, edits, and feedback simultaneously across a team — functioning like Figma, but designed specifically for generative film production.

• 3D Scene & World Model Support

  Step into virtual 3D environments generated from a single image, enabling shot composition and character rendering across multiple angles within the same scene.

• Claude MCP Agent Integration

  Connect custom Claude AI agents via MCP directly into the production workflow, enabling teams to automate and extend their creative pipeline with greater flexibility.

Use Cases

• Professional AI Filmmaking : Cinematographers and independent filmmakers can produce fully realized short films or narrative content with directorial-level control over generative video models.
• Commercial & Agency Production : Studios and creative agencies can rapidly prototype and produce TV commercials and branded content by combining AI generation with a structured, team-based workflow.
• Previs & Shot Planning : Production teams can use Martini to previsualize scenes, block camera angles, and assemble rough cuts before committing to a full production pipeline.
• Artistic & Exhibition Work : Visual artists can create AI-generated films intended for gallery display or online audiences, with fine-grained compositional control over the final output.
• Collaborative Remote Production : Distributed teams across different roles — directors, editors, VFX artists — can co-create in real time on the same project board without tool fragmentation.
