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

The model and the production workspace are separate choices
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.
