What does Luma Dream Machine do?

Luma Dream Machine is a browser-based AI video generator that turns ideas into cinematic video clips. Build from a text prompt (text to video) or upload a photo and animate it with depth, movement, and atmosphere (image to video).

Choose an AI model and dial in production settings like aspect ratio (including 16:9 and 9:16), video duration (4, 6, or 8 seconds), and output quality (720p HD or 1080p Full HD). Use prompt inspiration examples to quickly prototype UGC, product shots, try-ons, and other common video formats, then iterate by tweaking your prompt.

Your generated videos can be previewed via history, and you can download the resulting MP4. Start with free credits and upgrade to a paid plan for more credits and higher limits, with paid plans offering commercial use rights and no watermarks.

What can I generate with Luma Dream Machine?

You can create short cinematic clips using either text prompts (text to video) or uploaded photos (image to video).

Which settings can I control before generating?

You can select an AI model, set the aspect ratio, choose the video duration, and pick output quality (720p HD or 1080p Full HD).

How do I turn a photo into a video?

Upload a static photo, then generate a clip so the AI adds motion, depth, and atmosphere based on the image.

Can I download the generated videos?

Yes. You can download the result as an MP4 after generation.

Are there commercial-use options and watermarks?

Paid plans include commercial usage rights and videos generated on paid plans have no watermarks. Free credits may include watermark options.

Do I need video editing skills to use it?

No—creation is prompt- or photo-based, and the AI handles cinematic motion, lighting, and style automatically.
