Marey is a foundational video generation model developed by Moonvalley in collaboration with Asteria. Launched in early 2025, it is specifically designed for professional filmmaking and advertising workflows, prioritizing high-precision directorial control and ethical data sourcing. The model was developed by a research team with backgrounds from DeepMind, Google, Meta, and OpenAI.
A defining characteristic of Marey is its "clean" training methodology. The model was trained exclusively on a massive dataset of fully licensed, high-definition 1080p footage, avoiding the use of scraped or unlicensed internet content. This approach is intended to ensure the model is commercially safe for use by major Hollywood studios and enterprise brands, providing legal confidence for professional productions.
The model features a suite of Directorial Controls including Camera Control, which allows users to direct virtual camera movements like pans and dollies within generated scenes, and Trajectory Control for defining specific paths for objects. Other advanced capabilities include Motion Transfer, which adapts movement from a reference video to a new subject, and Pose Transfer for maintaining character performance across different environments.
Marey generates native high-definition video at 24 FPS without the need for upscaling, which helps minimize visual artifacts and maintain fine-grained textures. The architecture is designed to understand real-world physics and lighting logic, supporting consistent video sequences of up to 30 seconds across various professional aspect ratios.
