Moonvalley

Moonvalley sells credits rather than monthly subscriptions: $14.99 for 100 credits, $34.99 for 250 credits, and $149.99 for 1,000 credits. A 5-second 1080p clip typically uses 1-2 credits, so the entry pack produces 50-100 short clips. Enterprise pricing is available for studios and production companies needing volume access.

Marey is Moonvalley's flagship video generation model, launched in beta in March 2025 and released publicly in July 2025. It's the first major AI video model claimed to be trained entirely on openly licensed data, addressing copyright concerns that have plagued competitors. Marey produces cinematic-quality clips up to 5 seconds long, aimed at filmmakers who need commercially safe AI video.

Moonvalley's selling point is that Marey is trained exclusively on licensed content — footage from partners who explicitly agreed to have their videos used for training. Most competing AI video models train on web-scraped content of uncertain copyright status, creating legal risk for commercial users. Filmmakers and studios worried about IP exposure can use Marey knowing its training data has clear provenance.

Moonvalley does not offer a permanent free tier — it uses a credit-pack pricing model starting at $14.99 for 100 credits. Occasionally the company runs promotional credits for new signups or beta users. For filmmakers wanting to test Marey before committing, the smallest $14.99 pack is the minimum entry point.

Marey generates clips up to 5 seconds long, in line with most publicly available AI video models. A 5-second 1080p clip uses roughly 1-2 credits. Longer shots require stitching multiple clips together via the Moonvalley editor or an external video tool. Extended duration generation and higher resolutions are on the company's roadmap.

Runway Gen-4 and Sora still lead on raw visual quality, duration, and creative tooling. Moonvalley's edge is ethical provenance — Marey is commercially safer for studios worried about IP lawsuits from models trained on scraped content. For independent filmmakers and studios requiring clean training data, Moonvalley is uniquely positioned.

Yes — commercial use is permitted on all Moonvalley credit packs, and the licensed training data provenance makes Marey especially appealing to studios concerned about IP exposure. The company has signed deals with production houses and runs an Enterprise tier for volume licensing, custom model training, and dedicated support for professional filmmaking workflows.

Moonvalley was co-founded by former DeepMind researchers who previously worked on Google's own video-generation model. The company raised $84 million in a 2025 funding round to scale Marey and build out enterprise partnerships with film studios. The founding team's background in state-of-the-art video generation research combined with a focus on ethical data sourcing gives Moonvalley a distinctive position.
