Dream Machine video generation

Generate high-quality video clips using text or images.

Scenario

Generate car advertising videos

Prompt example 
A luxury sports car driving through a coastal road at sunset, camera tracking shot, cinematic lighting, motion blur on wheels, 4K
Output / what to expect
Generate a car advertising-level video of about 5 seconds with smooth movement and realistic light and shadow, which can be directly used in advertising materials.
Tips

Adding specific camera movement descriptions (tracking shot, dolly zoom, aerial view) can achieve more professional lens effects.

Scenario

Picture to dynamic video

Prompt example 
Upload a photo of a sunset at the beach with the prompt words: waves
gently moving, clouds drifting, peaceful atmosphere
Output / what to expect
Static landscape photos turn into dynamic videos of waves lapping and clouds fluttering, creating a strong sense of nature.
Tips

When converting pictures to videos, Luma will try to maintain the composition and tone of the original picture, and the dynamic effects will be naturally integrated.
