Text-to-video and image-to-video that actually looks real. Dream Machine turns prompts into smooth, physics-aware clips in minutes.
Luma's Dream Machine is the video model that made AI clips look genuinely real. Unlike early generators that produced morphing mush, Dream Machine understands physics, lighting, and object persistence — so a generated dog actually stays a dog across the shot. Type a prompt, drop in a start image, or both, and get a 5-second clip back in under two minutes.
Who it's for: Content creators, marketers, and indie filmmakers who need short, realistic B-roll, product shots, and concept clips without a camera crew.
Prompt-based generation with optional start and end frames. Produce coherent 5-second clips that respect real-world motion and lighting.
Lock the first and last frame so the clip animates exactly the transition you want — ideal for product reveals and scene changes.
Generate 3D scenes and Gaussian splat captures from a few images, then orbit and export them for games and AR.
A developer API for generating and editing video programmatically — wire Dream Machine into your own pipelines and apps.
If you need realistic AI video in 2026, Dream Machine is one of the two or three tools worth paying for. The free tier is enough to ship a few clips; the $29.99 Standard plan unlocks the volume most creators actually need.
The all-in-one AI video suite — Gen-3, editing, and motion tools.
Playful AI video generation with strong stylization controls.
Longer, physics-aware clips with camera control and lip-sync.
AI avatars and voiceover for training and explainer videos.
