  1. In Studio, open Movie Trailer Generator from the template library.
  2. Connect Gemini and KIE in provider settings and review the selected models.
  3. Enter a Logline and Visual Style. Set Shot Count to 1 for a first paid test instead of the template's six-shot default.

Frequently asked questions

Is Dreamina only an image generator?
No. Dreamina lists video, avatars, and marketing studios alongside image generation and editing.
Does the starter use Seedance?
The shipped trailer starter uses Gemini and KIE, including Veo video. Other models require a compatible provider node and account.
Can NodeTool run the workspace locally?
Yes. Studio runs on your desktop. Hosted model calls still run through their providers and incur their charges.
