One sentence becomes a short film. The agent outlines the story, designs the characters, draws a storyboard, generates the clips, and edits them together.

From brief to finished film, in one project

Each stage has its own editor, and the agent works in the same editors you do.

  1. 1. Build

    Agent and node graph

    Describe the film. The agent writes the workflow, and every step stays visible in the node editor.

  2. 2. Generate

    Shots and takes

    Stills settle the look on the storyboard. Only the shots you approve become video.

  3. 3. Finish

    An editable cut

    Arrange, trim, and layer clips on the timeline, or ask the agent to tighten the opening.

NodeTool vs Moonvalley Marey

Moonvalley Marey is a filmmaking video model with dedicated shot controls. NodeTool is an open-source creative workspace for image, video, audio, and text workflows, with agents, desktop or self-hosted deployment, and your own provider accounts.

Gemini and KIE API keys. The shipped graph uses Gemini for direction and Veo video, and KIE for GPT Image-2 keyframes. Each shot incurs image and video generation charges.

  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.
  4. Run the workflow and inspect the trailer output. Save the graph before changing the brief or adding shots.

When Moonvalley Marey is the better choice

Marey can suit shots that need its specific camera and motion tools. NodeTool organizes generation within a broader production project. API access means a model can also be part of a pipeline rather than a competing workspace. Check which Marey endpoints and controls your provider exposes before selecting the model for a shot.

Frequently asked questions

Is NodeTool a replacement for the Marey model?
NodeTool is a workspace, not a video model. It helps plan and connect model calls, review assets, and edit a project. Marey's specific shot controls remain a model choice.
Does Marey have an API?
Yes. Moonvalley documents API access and selected text-to-video, image-to-video, motion-transfer, and pose-transfer endpoints on FAL.
Does this trailer starter use Marey?
No. It uses Gemini and KIE. Inspect its graph before adapting a stage to another supported provider or model.

Inspect the pipeline before choosing a shot model.

The trailer starter uses Gemini and KIE, so you can review the workflow without assuming Marey feature parity.
