Key Insights

Peak Hour Speed Issues

Luma Dream Machine is extremely popular; if you use it during peak hours (daytime in the United States), the generation process might take several hours. Try generating videos during off-peak hours for faster results.

The Strength of Image-to-Video

This model excels at animating static images (Image-to-Video). The results are often more consistent and higher quality compared to generating videos using text alone.

Visual Limitations with Water Elements

Like most AI video generators, Luma Dream Machine still struggles with rendering perfect water physics. Carefully check your results for any glitches in the water sections.
