MoonValley takes out a video generator he claims has been trained on license content
Startup based in Los Angeles Moonvalley has spear A model of generation of Videos IA that he claims is one of the few data on openly licensed data – not protected by copyright.
Appointed “Marey” after Cinema Trailblazer Étienne-Jules Marey, the model was built in collaboration with Asteria, a Animation studio ai more recent. Marey was trained on source data “owned or entirely under license”, according to Moonvalley, and offers customization options, including camera and fine grain movement checks.
“Marey allows nuanced control over the movements in the scenes,” MoonValley wrote in a press release provided to Techcrunch, “like controlling the movement of a piece of individual ladies, or animating the exact breeze that blows in a person’s hair.”
The large availability of tools to build video generators has led to an explosion of the Cambrian of sellers in space. In fact, it may become supersaturated. Startups such as Track And Lumaas well as technology giants as OPENAI And Googlerelease models to a quick clip – in many cases with little to distinguish them from each other.
Moonvalley launches Marey, who can generate “HD” clips up to 30 seconds, as lower risk than competitors from a legal point of view.
Moonvalley is a blow! 🌗🚀
As many of you know, I have worked a lot in video and animation space in recent months, and it has been exciting to watch this model built behind the scenes!

Many generative video startups form models on public data, some of which are invariably protected by copyright. These companies maintain that equitable use Doctrine protects the practice. But that did not stop rights owners housing complaints and the deposit of stopping and designating.
Moonvalley says he is working with partners to manage license arrangements and package videos in data sets that the company then buys. The approach is similar to Adobewhich also performs video sequences for creating creators via its stock of stock adobe.
Many artists and creators are wary of video generators, and of course – they threaten to upset the film and television industry. A 2024 study Commissioned by the Animation Guild, a union representing Hollywood animators and cartoonists, estimates that more than 100,000 movie, television and animation jobs based in the United States will be disrupted by AI by 2026.
Moonvalley intends to let the creators ask their content to be deleted from its models, allow customers to delete their data at any time and offer a compensation policy To protect users from copyright challenges.
Unlike some “unfiltered” video models which easily insert the resemblance of a person with clips, Moonvalley also undertakes to build railing around their creative tools. Like Sora d’Openai, Moonvalley models will block certain content, such as NSFW sentences, and will not allow people to encourage them to generate videos of specific people or celebrities.
“We prove that it is possible to form models of AI without trivially flying creative work to creators
– filmmakers, visual artists, creators and creative producers – whose voices we aim to raise
With our technology, ”said the co-founder and CEO of Moonvalley, Naeem Talukdar, in a press release. “At Moonvalley, we establish a new standard for a generative AI to offer AI capacities at the head of the industry while ensuring that the voices and the rights of the creatives are not lost as this technology and this industry are evolving.”
