Dream Machine is an AI model that makes high quality, realistic videos fast from text and images.

It is a highly scalable and efficient transformer model trained directly on videos making it capable of generating physically accurate, consistent and eventful shots. Dream Machine is Luma's first step towards building a universal imagination engine and it is available to everyone now!

  • You can iterate at the speed of your thought. Dream Machine is an incredibly fast video generator! 120 frames in 120s. Iterate faster, explore more ideas and dream bigger!

  • You can create action packed shots. Dream Machine generates 5s shots with a realistic smooth motion, cinematography, and drama. Make lifeless into lively. Turn snapshots into stories.

  • You can dream worlds with consistent characters. Dream Machine understands how people, animals and objects interact with the physical world. This allows you to create videos with great character consistency and accurate physics.

  • You can capture attention with breathtaking camera moves. Dream Machine helps you experiment with an endless array of fluid, cinematic and naturalistic camera motions matching the emption and contents of the scene.

Current Limitations:

Morphing: Morphing is a technique used in computer graphics and animation to smoothly transform one image or shape into another. This process involves the gradual blending of two or more images or shapes, creating a seamless transition from one to the other. Morphing is often used in movies, television, and video games to create special effects, such as transforming a character's face into another or changing the shape of an object.

Janus: Janus is a term derived from Roman mythology. Janus is the Roman god of beginnings, gates, transitions, time, duality, doorways, passages, and endings. He is usually depicted as having two faces, since he looks to the future and the past. The term "Janus" is often used metaphorically to describe something with dual or contrasting aspects. For example:

Janus-faced: Describing someone or something as having two contrasting aspects or being deceitful (showing one face to some people and a different face to others).

Janusian Thinking: Refers to the ability to think in contradictory terms or consider multiple perspectives simultaneously. This concept is often discussed in the context of creativity and problem-solving.
