Luma Video Capabilities


Any video on your board can be extended, restyled, reframed, lip-synced, scored with music, captioned, analyzed, split apart, transitioned into, or used as a building block for larger productions.


Generate New Videos

Text-to-Video — Describe a scene and get a video. Up to native 1080p resolution.

Text-to-Video with Audio — Some models generate synchronized audio natively alongside the video (dialogue, ambient sound, music).


Image-to-Video

Animate a Still — Turn any image into a video with motion, camera movement, and action.

Keyframe-to-Keyframe — Provide a start image and an end image, and generate the transition video between them. Great for controlled storytelling.


Modify & Transform Existing Videos

Video-to-Video — Change the style, look, or aesthetic of an existing video with adjustable strength control (subtle tweak to full transformation).

Extend Video — Add more time to any video — extend it forward to continue the action, or backward to create a prequel moment. Adds ~5 seconds per extension.


Reframe & Resize

Aspect Ratio Changes — Convert a landscape video to portrait (or any ratio) using AI outpainting that intelligently fills in the missing areas. Perfect for adapting content across platforms.


Add Voice & Audio

Text-to-Speech Voiceover — Generate natural voiceovers with emotion tags (excited, whispering, sad, etc.) and layer them onto your video.

Sound Effects — Generate short SFX (5–22 seconds) to enhance your video.

Music — Generate full music tracks (with or without vocals) to score your video.


Lip Sync & Character Animation

Lip Sync — Take a video of a character and sync their mouth to any audio track with realistic movement.

Emotion & Expression Control — Advanced lip sync with control over the character's emotional reactions and expressions.


Captions & Subtitles

Transcription — Extract word-level timestamps from any video's audio track.

Programmatic Captioning — Render animated captions, subtitles, and text overlays directly onto video with full styling control.


Programmatic Video Editing

Compositions — Combine multiple videos, images, audio, and text layers into a single rendered output using code-based composition.

Transitions — Add cinematic transitions between clips (fades, wipes, custom animations).

Overlays & Graphics — Layer text, shapes, and graphics on top of video.


Cinematic Transitions

Transformation Injections — Split a video at a specific point and insert a cinematic transformation effect (morphs, glitches, reveals) between the halves.


Analyze & Evaluate Videos

Quality Assessment — AI evaluation of visual quality, pacing, and content.

Action Adherence — Structured validation: "Did X actually happen in this video?"

Brand Compliance — Check video against brand guidelines.

Consistency Checks — Verify characters, style, and settings stay consistent across multiple videos.

Visual Timing Analysis — Extract motion peaks, impact moments, and scene transitions from video.

Audio Timing Analysis — Extract beat detection, word timestamps, and silence points from video audio.


Multi-Shot & Storytelling Workflows

Storyboards — Build sequential multi-shot videos where each shot maintains visual continuity with the last.

Micro-Beat Production — Produce consistent multi-shot videos using 5-second micro-beats with spatial references for things like music videos.

Image Sequence to Video — Convert a series of images into a video by generating keyframe transitions between each pair.


Platform Adaptation

Cross-Platform Transformation — Adapt a video from one platform format to another (YouTube → TikTok → Instagram) using Ray2 video reframe or out-painting keyframes with nano banana, and then animating again with I2V per shot, or V2V with Ray3.14 Video Modify depending on video length.

Social Media Video Ads — Turn videos into full ads with hooks, captions, and platform-specific optimization.


Full Production Workflows

Product Review Videos — Create authentic influencer-style product review videos with character and voiceover.

Product Video Loops — Create seamless looping product showcase videos.

Brand Campaigns — Use video as part of multi-asset campaigns with consistent visual identity.

Comic-to-Animation — Animate comic panels into sequential video.


Streaming Video Analysis

Summarize & Transcribe — Analyze streaming videos for content, structure, and transcription.


Import Videos

Upload — Drop videos directly onto your board.

Web Download — I can search the web, find video content, and pull it onto your board.
