Built on Reasoning

Luma's AI Video Generator: built on reasoning, not guesswork

Most AI video tools require technical setup, manual timelines, or trial-and-error prompting. Luma's Ray model reasons through your prompt before it generates — working out composition, motion, and scene logic first. The result is closer to what you had in mind from the first generation, not the fifth.

High-Quality, Cinematic Results

Native 1080p output with HDR support with EXR export. Built for production, not just demos. Your videos are crisp, clear, and stunning.

Automatic Motion & Effects

Realistic camera movement, depth, and scene dynamics — enhanced performance tracking and multi-keyframes.

One workspace, tap other top models

Switch between models without leaving Luma – access Veo, Seed Dance, Kling, ElevenLabs, and more.

Agent-powered Generation

No software to learn. Describe it once and iterate from there. Luma handles motion, lighting, and composition automatically.

How to generate

Generate a video with Luma in four steps

Most renders complete in under a minute.

How it Works
  1. 1

    Write your prompt

    Describe the scene, subject, motion, and mood you want. The more specific the direction — camera angle, lighting, action — the closer the first output will be to your intent.

  2. 2

    Add a reference (optional)

    Upload an image, a storyboard, brand guidelines, an existing clip, or a character reference to ground the generation. Luma uses it to maintain visual consistency across the output.

  3. 3

    Generate

    Luma's Ray model reasons through your prompt — resolving composition, motion, and scene logic — then renders. Most generations are ready in under a minute.

  4. 4

    Iterate or export

    Refine with a follow-up prompt, adjust the style or camera angle, change the setting. Once you're satisfied, export directly in 1080p.
