Luma Ray3.2: the Dream Machine video model
Luma Ray3.2 AI Video Generator: Natural Motion and Frame Control

Where Luma Ray3.2 shines
Hair, cloth and water that move for real
Wind through long hair, a silk scarf rippling, a cape billowing and spray off a horse's hooves all carry weight and follow through. Name the force in your prompt (a strong sea wind, a gallop, a pour) and Ray3.2 animates everything it touches.
Start and end frames
Give it a first picture and a last picture and it films the journey between them. Our cabin clip goes from deep snow at blue dusk to wildflowers at golden hour in 5 seconds, with the cabin, mountains and camera holding steady.
One picture, brought to life
Add a single start picture and the clip keeps its face, wardrobe and framing while the scene starts to move. Our ferry portrait kept every detail of her coat and scarf as the wind took her hair.
Cinematic camera moves
Push ins, low tracking shots and fast drone flights read clearly. Lead your prompt with the move and Ray3.2 holds it for the whole clip.
Wide 21:9 and vertical 9:16
Pick from 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4 and 21:9 for text to video. Use 21:9 for trailer style openers and 9:16 for reels and stories.
What you can make with Luma Ray3.2
We made these six on Pixel Dojo at 720p: a portrait brought to life, a winter to spring transformation, a drone flight, a fashion film, a gallop through the surf and a dessert ad. Tap Use this prompt on any clip to open the tool with that prompt ready.
Made from one start picture. The sea wind lifts every strand of her auburn hair and ripples the silk scarf while the camera pushes in and she turns toward the lens. Start from this prompt with a portrait of your own.
Slow push in toward her face as a strong sea wind whips her long auburn hair across the frame and the rust silk scarf streams and ripples behind her, she turns her head slightly toward the camera, grey waves roll past below, the ferry rocks gently, soft overcast light, natural cinematic motion.
Start and end frame. We gave Luma Ray3.2 a winter picture and a spring picture of the same cabin, and it filled the five seconds between them with melting snow, a thawing lake and spreading wildflowers. Use two pictures of your own to plan any transformation.
Locked off wide shot that holds still while the seasons turn: the snow on the cabin roof and the pines melts away, the frozen lake thaws into calm mirror water, green grass and wildflowers spread across the shore, and the blue winter dusk warms into golden evening light, a smooth natural time lapse.
A cinematic 21:9 drone flight, made from text alone. The camera threads between basalt columns while waves crash and foam pours off the rock. Start from this prompt for an epic opening shot.
Sweeping aerial drone shot gliding low and fast along a rugged coastline of tall black sea stacks at sunrise, huge ocean waves exploding into white spray against the rock, sea mist drifting through low golden light, seabirds wheeling, the camera banks and rises to reveal the long curve of the cliffs, epic anamorphic film look.
A vertical fashion film for reels and stories. The sheer cape catches the wind in wide arcs and sand kicks up from each step in warm sunset backlight. Start from this prompt and swap in your own wardrobe.
Low angle slow motion tracking shot: a strikingly beautiful woman in her late twenties in a long flowing crimson chiffon gown with long sleeves spins on a windswept white sand dune at sunset, the long skirt and a trailing silk cape billow and ripple in wide arcs, her dark hair lifts in the wind, sand sprays around her feet, warm backlight, shallow depth of field, editorial fashion film look.
Action with real weight. Each hoof strike throws a sheet of glowing spray, the coat tails snap in the wind and the wet sand mirrors the sky. Start from this prompt for an adventure trailer moment.
Side tracking shot with a telephoto lens, slow motion: a black horse with a long flowing mane gallops through shallow surf at sunrise, ridden by a handsome man in his thirties in a long dark waxed riding coat and leather boots, sheets of sea water explode from the hooves into glittering backlit droplets, wet sand mirrors the orange sky, cinematic film grain.
A dessert commercial in a square frame. The caramel stream coils, spreads and drips down the sphere with the weight of real liquid under warm rim light. Start from this prompt for your own food or product ad.
Extreme macro in slow motion: a ribbon of glossy liquid caramel pours and folds onto a smooth sphere of dark chocolate that turns slowly on a black marble pedestal, a soft streak of light sweeps across the shiny surface, warm amber rim light, shallow depth of field, luxury dessert commercial look.
How we made the start and end frames for Luma Ray3.2
Two of the clips above started from pictures we made first with Muse Image on Pixel Dojo, at 0.5 credits each. For the cabin we made a winter picture, then added it as a reference and asked for the same view in late spring. Because the end frame came from the start frame, the cabin, the pines and the mountains line up, and Luma Ray3.2 only has to change the season.
Keep the camera still in your prompt when you use two frames. A locked off shot lets the change itself be the motion: snow melting, ice thawing, flowers spreading, dusk warming into gold.
For a single start picture, write what moves and what pushes it. Our ferry prompt names the sea wind, her hair, the scarf and one small turn of the head, and the clip keeps her face, coat and framing from the picture.
A clip made from a picture is 5 seconds long and follows the picture's own shape, so frame the picture the way you want the video.
