Marey

A startup called Moonvalley — founded by former Google DeepMinders and researchers from Meta, Microsoft and TikTok, among others — has introduced Marey, a generative AI video model designed for Hollywood studios, filmmakers and enterprise brands. Positioned as a “clean” state-of-the-art foundational AI video model, Marey is trained exclusively on owned and licensed data, offering an ethical alternative to AI models developed using scraped content. Native HD generation — Generates high-definition video without relying on upscaling, reducing visual artifacts Extended video length — Unlike most AI video models, which generate only a few seconds of footage, Marey can create 30-second sequences in a single pass. Layer-based editing — Unlike other generative video models, Marey allows users to separately edit the foreground, midground and background, providing more precise control over video composition. Storyboard and sketch-based inputs — Instead of relying only on text prompts (as many AI models do), Marey enables filmmakers to create using storyboards, sketches and even live-action references, making it more intuitive for professionals. More responsive to conditioning inputs — The model was designed to better interpret external inputs like drawings and motion references, making AI-generated video more controllable. “Generative-native” video editor — Moonvalley is developing companion software for Marey, which functions as a generative-native video editing tool that helps users manage projects and timelines more effectively.
