Luma Dream Machine
Transform imagination into cinematic reality with AI-powered video generation from text and images.
Luma Dream Machine is an advanced AI video generation platform that converts text prompts and static images into professional-grade, 5-10 second videos with realistic motion, cinematic visuals, and HDR-quality output.
Powered by the Ray3 model, it enables creators to produce polished content without traditional filming, animation skills, or editing expertise.
🚫 The problem Luma Dream Machine solves
Eliminates traditional video production barriers by enabling rapid creation of realistic, coherent clips without filming, animation skills, editing software, or expensive hardware—removing glitches and unnatural motion prevalent in earlier AI generators.
✅ How Luma Dream Machine works
Users input descriptive text prompts or upload images, which the Ray3 model processes through logical reasoning—decomposing concepts into scene composition, motion, lighting, and physics simulation.
The system ensures frame-to-frame consistency and natural movement, with Draft Mode enabling fast previews before final high-quality renders in 16-bit HDR formats.
Simple web and iOS interfaces streamline ideation, editing via natural language, and export workflows.
