How to Make Ad Video with Luma AI

Go from prompt to tested video ad in 3 steps — cinematic quality from Luma, performance scale from Soku.

01

Describe It or Upload a Photo

Write a prompt or upload a product image. Luma handles both text-to-video and image-to-video, so a still catalog photo can become moving creative.

02

Generate a Cinematic Clip

Ray3 produces a short, high-fidelity clip with natural motion and studio-grade HDR color — no film crew or editing timeline required.

03

Scale & Test as Ads with Soku

Bring the clip into Soku, expand it into platform-specific variants, and launch structured tests across Meta, Google, and TikTok to find what converts.

Why Use Luma AI with Soku

Other tools generate a clip and stop. Soku generates, deploys as ad creative, and tracks performance — so every Luma video drives results.

Reasoning-Driven Generation

Ray3 thinks in concepts and visuals, evaluates its own output, and iterates — landing the shot you described in fewer tries.

Native HDR Color

Luma is the first AI video model with native 16-bit HDR, giving clips a vivid, premium look that stands out in the feed.

Text & Image to Video

Start from a prompt or a product photo. Image-to-video turns existing catalog assets into moving ad creative without a reshoot.

Built into the Ad Workflow

Unlike a standalone generator, Soku connects Luma output to variation, testing, and performance tracking across Meta, Google, and TikTok.

Why Marketing Teams Pair Luma with Soku AI

One clip becomes a tested campaign

A single Luma generation is a starting point, not a finish line. Soku turns one approved clip into structured ad variants — different hooks, captions, end cards, and placement formats — all kept on-brand by your brand kit, then runs them as a real creative test.

Generate across models, keep the winner

Luma leads on natural motion and HDR, but no single model wins every brief. Soku lets you generate from Luma and other video models, deploy them side by side, and let performance — not preference — decide which creative scales.

Generation and results in one loop

Soku pushes variants straight to Meta, Google, and TikTok and rolls up CTR, CPA, and ROAS per creative. The angles that win feed your next round of Luma prompts, closing the loop between generation and measurable performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Luma AI — better known as Dream Machine — is the AI video product from Luma Labs. Its current model, Ray3, is a reasoning-driven video model that turns a text prompt or a still image into short, high-fidelity clips with natural motion and studio-grade HDR color. It's widely used for cinematic short-form content.

Luma's Dream Machine has a free tier with a daily credit allowance, but it's limited to 720p, adds a watermark, and isn't licensed for commercial use. With Soku AI you can get started for free — no credit card required — and Soku covers the full ad creative workflow: generate, build on-brand variants, and deploy and test them as ads across Meta, Google, and TikTok.

Ray3 is Luma's reasoning-driven video model. It can understand intent, evaluate its own output, and iterate to deliver better generations in fewer tries. The Ray3.14 update added native 1080p generation, roughly 4x faster performance, and lower cost. Ray3 is also the first AI video model to deliver native 16-bit HDR.

Yes. Luma supports text-to-video, image-to-video, and video-to-video (Modify, with keyframe and character-reference controls). You can upload a product photo and animate it into moving ad creative — ideal for turning catalog images into video without a reshoot.

Luma (Ray3) is known for especially natural motion and is the first model with native HDR color. Veo 3.1 leads on all-around output with synchronized audio, Runway leads on granular shot control, and Kling leads on 4K and longer clips. Rather than betting on one model, Soku lets you generate and test creative across multiple video models and keep whatever performs best.

That's exactly the workflow Soku is built for. Luma produces the cinematic raw material; Soku turns it into many on-brand variants, launches structured tests across platforms, and surfaces which video creative converts — so a single clip becomes a performance campaign.

Luma generates clips up to about 10 seconds per generation, extendable to roughly 30 seconds. For ads, short scroll-stopping clips usually perform best — and Soku scales one clip into many platform-specific variants for Meta, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.

Use Luma to generate cinematic hero clips and product-in-motion creative, then bring them into Soku to expand into platform-specific variants and run creative tests. Soku's performance data then informs your next round of prompts — closing the loop between generation and results.
