* LUMA RAY VARIANTS
2 of 2* ABOUT LUMA RAY
Working with Luma Ray
Ray 3.2 is Luma's video pair. Text-to-Video generates cinematic clips with explicit control over resolution, duration and seamless looping; Image-to-Video animates a still while preserving the look and structure of the original frame.
When to choose Luma Ray
Choose Luma Ray when a clip has to loop cleanly — background video, a product loop, a social banner. Most video families have no looping control at all.
Choosing between the variants
Text to Video is the one with duration and seamless looping controls. Image to Video is for animating a frame you already have while keeping its composition intact.
* FREQUENTLY ASKED
About Luma Ray
- What does seamless looping give me?
- A clip whose end matches its start, so it can repeat indefinitely without a visible cut — useful for backgrounds and banners.
- Does Image to Video keep my original frame?
- Yes. It preserves the look and structure of the source image while adding motion driven by the prompt.
- Can I control the clip length?
- Duration is an explicit control on the text-to-video variant, alongside resolution and looping.
