Features

  • Creative agents with shared context

    Creative agents sit inside the workflow and carry shared context across formats, so a project moves from concept to delivery without restarts.

  • Team workspaces and shared credits

    Team workspaces share credits and keep usage management in one place for groups producing work in parallel.

  • Export for production in EXR

    Export for Production delivers high-quality EXR files that fit professional post-production pipelines.

  • Clip stitching and captions

    Clips can be stitched together and captions added to create polished deliverables inside the same project.

  • Multimodal models in one workflow

    Luma unifies specialized multimodal models into one continuous workflow that carries creative work from concept to final delivery.

What users say

Pros

  • Simple prompts in the free trial produce strong clips on the first attempt.
  • The chat helper maps out how the scenes in a video should go before generating.

Cons

  • A monthly credit allowance disappears on a couple of short clips, leaving nothing for the rest of the month.
  • Retrying a wrong or failed generation costs the same credits, so fixing mistakes drains the balance.
  • Characters, colours and lighting drift between shots, so many clips come back unusable.
  • Generations on the paid plans come out less stable than the same prompts on the free trial.
  • Refund requests sit for weeks with no reply, and often end with no fix or compensation.
  • Subscription charges continue after cancelling, and there is no working cancellation page in the account.
  • The workflow is complicated, and adding media through the mobile app is difficult.
