What is Luma AI?

Luma AI is an AI text-to-video and image-to-video tool developed by LumaLabs. It can automatically generate short videos that match your description based on either text input or uploaded photos. Luma AI is currently free to use and can produce short videos up to 5 seconds in length.

Luma AI How-to Tutorial

Generate short videos with prompts:

1. Visit the official Luma AI website at https://lumalabs.ai/dream-machine and create an account. You can also quickly sign in with your Google account.

2. After logging in, click the 【Try now】 button in the top-right corner to enter the Luma AI workspace. In the text prompt input box, describe the video content you want to create in either Chinese or English. For example: "A dinosaur running around in a room."

Below the prompt, you can adjust the video style (cartoon, realistic, etc.) and video length (shortest 1 second, longest 5 seconds, and other basic settings).

3. Then click the generate button, and after about a minute, Luma AI will produce the video. Once generation is complete, you can download or share the video. The following is the result generated from the prompt "A dinosaur running around in a room."

Generate video from image

1. Click the 【Photo Upload】 button to the left of the Luma AI prompt box and upload the photo you want to convert into a video.

2. Enter a prompt to help Luma AI generate a video that better matches your vision. For example, add the prompt "sunrise" to a landscape photo.

3. Adjust the video settings (optional). You can also adjust the video style and length settings.

4. Then click the 【Generate Video】 button, and once the video is generated, you can download or share it.

Advanced Tips for Using Luma AI

1. Use prompts to assist generation

When entering your prompt, you can include commonly used AI creative terms to improve the precision of your generated videos. For example, add stylistic prompts such as "Brutalism, magical realism, romanticism" to help Luma AI understand your creative intent and produce results that better match your expectations.

2. Generate multiple times to pick the best result

The video produced by Luma AI will differ each time. You can try multiple times to generate several versions and then choose the one you are most satisfied with. However, each generation consumes credits, so it is recommended to first experiment with simple prompts a few times before using them, to become familiar with how Luma AI generates content and find patterns. Then you can make fine-tuned adjustments to meet your specific needs.

The above is the tutorial on how to use Luma AI. To create a video you are satisfied with, multiple attempts are needed.
