Luma's Ray2 has launched new Camera Controls for AI Video

Unlock precise camera movements and limitless creativity with Luma AI’s latest innovation

Have you ever wished you could command your generative AI to pull off the camera moves worthy of a Hollywood cinematographer, or maybe something even more adventurous?

Good news: your wish is getting closer to reality.

Luma AI has announced the launch of Camera Motion Concepts, a new method to bring increased control over camera movement into your generative video workflow.

What are Luma AI's Camera Motion Concepts?

They are a set of advanced tools introduced by Luma AI to enhance creative control in their generative video models, particularly with the Ray2 model and Dream Machine platform.

These "Concepts" refer to a collection of pre-built, precision-tuned camera movements, over 20 cinematic options such as pans, orbits, crane shots, zooms, and tracking shots, that users can apply to AI-generated videos.
