About this offering: Luma AI Ray 3.2, the current API-available Ray model. Ray 2 has been superseded and is no longer separately priced for API access. Video-to-video and extend modes are priced differently (see lumalabs.ai/api). HDR output adds 2× cost.

How Ray 3.2 rates across core capability dimensions, with the task-level evidence behind each rating.
Luma AI's signature strength; camera movements respond reliably to cinematic terminology (dolly, pan, orbit) in the text prompt.
No audio generation.
Max 10 seconds; 5s and 10s billed separately.
Strong I2V mode that preserves reference composition.
Max 1080p; no 4K via API.
Cloud API; per-clip billing with generation times typically under 60s for 5s clips at 720p. 1080p and longer clips take longer. Competitive with peers; no dedicated "fast" tier.
API exposes both V2V (style/reference-guided regeneration of existing footage) and extend (temporal extension of an existing clip via prompt). The extend mode in particular constitutes directed modification of an existing video beyond I2V start-frame anchoring. No inpainting or mask-guided element replacement.
Ratings are estimated — limited independent data is available for this model.
Operator guidance
First choice when predictable camera motion is essential. Per-clip pricing makes cost easy to forecast ($0.30 for 5s 720p, $0.90 for 10s 720p). 1080p is significantly more expensive ($1.20/$3.60 for 5s/10s) — use 720p unless resolution is critical. No audio; choose Veo 3 if audio is needed.
Use cases
- Camera-motion-driven video for cinematic content
- Image animation preserving reference composition
- Video extension (extend mode) from existing clips
- Short-form professional content production
Limitations
- No audio generation
- 1080p pricing is expensive ($1.20–$3.60/clip) for longer/higher-res output
- No 4K support
- Ray 2 (the predecessor) is no longer API-priced; production code using Ray 2 should migrate to Ray 3.2
