Luma AI

Prepare High-Quality Product Images

Choose images with clear backgrounds, good lighting, and simple compositions for the AI to process motion more accurately.

Select images with a minimum resolution of 1024px, avoid images with too many details or overlapping subjects.

Images with a contrasting background to the product often yield smoother motion results with fewer errors.

Upload Images to Dream Machine

Log in to Luma Dream Machine and upload the product images to start creating the video.

Go to lumalabs.ai/dream-machine, select Image to Video, upload the image, and add a description of the desired motion.

A brief and specific motion description (e.g., 'lightly rotate the product, sparkling light') helps the AI adhere more closely to your idea.

Adjust Camera Motion

Choose a camera motion style that fits the desired advertising style.

Select an available camera motion option (zoom in, pan, orbit) in the settings panel before clicking Generate.

For small products like cosmetics, a gentle zoom motion often creates a more premium feel than an orbit.

Create and Preview the Result

Run the video generation and preview to assess whether to recreate or extend the clip.

Click Generate, wait a few minutes for rendering, view the preview, and click Extend if you want to lengthen the clip further.

Create 2-3 versions with slightly different descriptions to have multiple options before choosing the best one.

Download and Edit in Post-Production

Download the resulting video and add background music, text before posting it on social media.

Click Download to save the original video, use CapCut or video editing software to add music, text overlay, and export at the appropriate aspect ratio for the platform.

Export a separate vertical 9:16 version for TikTok/Reels and a square 1:1 version for Instagram feed from the same original clip.
