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.

Guided story creation or control of the generation stages

Mootion is a useful option when its guided character and scene workflow suits your story. NodeTool fits when you want to inspect intermediate assets, combine models with other processing, or run the workspace yourself. Character references guide generation, but continuity and performance still need review across the finished sequence.
