Overview
Ray 3.2 is Luma AI's advanced video generation model, designed to transform text descriptions and images into fluid, cinematic video clips. Unlike many older AI video tools, Ray 3.2 offers enhanced consistency in handling complex motion, lighting changes, and multi-subject scenes. It provides four primary workflows within a single model: Text to Video, Image to Video, Video Edit, and Video Reframing.
How Ray 3.2 Works
Users can generate video from a text prompt, animate a still image, restyle existing footage, or reframe any clip to a new aspect ratio. The platform supports frame-level control, allowing up to 16 keyframes within a single clip to direct specific visual shifts, performance nuances, and scene resolutions. This level of precision helps maintain motion, structure, and timing when modifying existing content.
Key Capabilities
- Native HDR + EXR Output: Generates real 16-bit HDR color and exports as EXR in ACES2065-1 color space, ready for professional VFX pipelines.
- Motion Transfer: Extracts motion from one clip and applies it to new characters or scenes.
- Character Transformation: Changes character appearance while preserving performance.
- Environment Change & Relighting: Swaps scene settings or lighting conditions without reshooting.
- Product Swap & Campaign Localization: Modifies products or localizes campaigns within existing footage at scale.
