Luma Ray2 - A large-scale text-to-video generative model by Luma AI, producing cinematic-quality videos with coherent motion and realistic physics.
## Luma Ray2 Overview
Luma Ray2 is a large-scale text-to-video generative model developed by Luma AI. It generates realistic videos with natural motion and cinematic quality from text or image prompts. The model is trained on a multi-modal architecture with 10x the computational power of its predecessor, Ray1, enabling enhanced motion coherence, physics simulations (e.g., water waves, explosions), and lighting details. It supports video lengths of up to 10 seconds (extendable to 30 seconds) and resolutions up to 1080p. Currently, it is accessible exclusively to paid users through the Dream Machine platform.
## Luma Ray2 Overview
- **Enhanced Compute Scale**: Trained with 10x the compute power of Ray1, enabling faster and more coherent motion.
- **Realistic Visuals**: Produces ultra-realistic details and logical event sequences.
- **Motion and Physics**: Accurately renders fluid movements and complex phenomena like waterfalls or smoke.
- **Cinematic Quality**: Supports dynamic camera movements (e.g., panoramas, close-ups) for visual storytelling.
- **Multi-Modal Inputs**: Accepts text, image, and (future) video inputs for generation.
- **Audio Integration**: Allows users to add audio to generated videos via prompts.
## Current Functions of Luma Ray2
- **Text-to-Video Generation**: Creates videos from text prompts (e.g., "a vintage car on mountain roads").
- **Audio Addition**: Users can attach audio to videos without extra credit costs.
- **Video Length Adjustment**: Supports 5–10 seconds (extendable to 30 seconds with quality trade-offs).
- **Resolution Options**: 540p, 720p, and 1080p (higher resolutions require additional credits).
## Upcoming Features of Luma Ray2
- **Image-to-Video Generation**: Transforming static images into dynamic videos.
- **Video-to-Video Conversion**: Editing or style transfer between videos.
- **Video Editing Tools**: Post-production capabilities for generated videos.
## Accessing Luma Ray2
Luma Ray2 is available through:
- **Dream Machine Platform**: Requires a paid subscription. Users can generate videos by entering prompts on the [Dream Machine Ideas](https://dream-machine.lumalabs.ai/ideas) page.
- **AWS Bedrock**: Integrated as a fully managed model for developers and businesses.
## Pricing and Credits for Luma Ray2
- **720p Video**: 5 seconds costs 160 credits; 10 seconds costs 320 credits.
- **540p Video**: Costs 16 credits per second.
- **1080p Video**: Higher resolutions incur additional credits.
