Photorealistic AI video from text/image. 5-second clips, physics-accurate motion.
Luma Dream Machine started as a photorealistic video model focused on camera motion. In 2.0, it added character consistency, longer clips, and physics accuracy that rivals Runway Gen-4. For creators who want cinematic quality without the Runway price tag, Luma is the new default.
Who it's for: Filmmakers, marketers, and creators who want Runway-quality video at lower cost.
