Prompt tips
Specify motion explicitly: e.g., “slow dolly in”, “camera orbit”, “subtle head turn”.
Mention shot specifics when important: camera framing, lens feel, lighting, and duration.
Use seed for repeatable variants or test different seeds to explore diversity.
Safety
Moderation may be applied according to platform rules — avoid disallowed content. Marey is built for professional filmmaking workflows and emphasizes ethical sourcing and legal clarity for commercial use.
