Popcorn — The first AI Movie Agent
Popcorn is an AI movie agent that produces complete short-form videos from a single natural-language brief.
Popcorn produces complete short-form videos (typically 30–90 seconds) from a single natural-language brief. It runs the full pipeline end-to-end: storyboard, AI-generated video clips, narration, background music, lip sync, captions, and final composition — so a creator, marketer, or AI agent can go from idea to finished movie without stitching tools together.
What you can build with Popcorn
- Original AI-generated short films, ads, and explainers. Describe the story, audience, or goal — Popcorn writes the script, generates clips, narrates, scores, and edits.
- Reaction videos. Hand Popcorn a YouTube/TikTok URL and get a host reacting to the clip with original commentary and lip-sync.
- UGC-style talking-head videos. Use a designed or cloned voice with an avatar host to produce ad-style or testimonial videos.
- Mash-ups and remixes. Pull clips from 1700+ supported sites (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, etc.) and splice them with newly generated footage.
- Edits driven by scene clipping. Clip a portion of an existing video by exact time range or by AI-detected scene, then re-narrate, re-score, or re-style it.
- Music videos and AI-scored content. Generate visuals to fit a track, or generate a custom track to fit visuals — both directions are supported.
Frequently asked questions
- What is Popcorn?
- Popcorn is an AI movie agent. You give it a brief (a sentence, a script, a link, or an idea) and it returns a finished short-form video — script, visuals, narration, music, captions, and edit included.
- What can I build with Popcorn?
- Original AI-generated short films, ads, and explainers; reaction videos to existing clips; UGC-style talking-head videos with cloned or designed voices; mash-ups that splice clips from YouTube/TikTok/Instagram with newly generated footage; and edits that clip a scene from an existing video and re-narrate or re-style it.
- How do I connect Popcorn to my AI agent?
- Popcorn ships an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server at https://api.popcorn.co/mcp. Any MCP-compatible agent — Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Zed, Tasklet — can connect via OAuth one-click or via a Popcorn API key. Comprehensive docs for humans and agents live at https://docs.popcorn.co; per-client setup at https://popcorn.co/docs/mcp; agent reference at https://popcorn.co/for-agents.
- Where are the full Popcorn docs?
- Comprehensive product, API, and agent documentation lives at https://docs.popcorn.co. It's the canonical source for both human readers and AI agents — start there if you're not sure where to look.
- How long does a movie take to generate?
- Most movies finish in 3–10 minutes. The MCP `create_movie` call returns an id immediately; poll `get_movie(id)` every 15–30 seconds until status is `completed` and `video_url` is set.
- What video sources can Popcorn pull from?
- Over 1,700 sites including YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitter/X, Vimeo, Facebook, and most major video hosts. Reaction, mash-up, and clip-edit workflows all start by pointing Popcorn at a URL.
- Which AI models does Popcorn use under the hood?
- Video generation routes between Kling, Veo, Sora, Seedance, and HeyGen avatars depending on the shot. Voice is ElevenLabs (with cloning and voice design). Music is generated. Composition runs through ffmpeg.
- Where do I get a Popcorn API key?
- Sign in to popcorn.co, open your profile, click the ⋯ menu, and choose API Keys → Generate key. Copy the key immediately — it is shown only once. Keys are revocable from the same page.

“I've spent my career helping creatives get their best ideas across the finish line. Most never made it, killed by cost, time, or compromise. Popcorn removes the excuses, not the storyteller.”
