What is Luma Dream Machine?

Dream Machine is Luma AI's tool for making video and images. You work on a board where you can generate clips, extend them, set start and end frames and modify scenes with plain-language instructions.

Its motion is smooth and cinematic, which makes it popular for mood films and storyboards. As with most generators, longer pieces are built from several short shots.
