First Look - Luma's New Dream Machine May Be the AI Video Creator We've All Wanted

Luma Labs today launched a new video creation AI model called Dream Machine. Anyone can try it out for free and see what cool videos they can come up with using text and images. If you've ever had a video on the brain despite not having video editing skills (and time and money), this AI tool will help you bring your ideas to life.

The company presented this new AI model at X, along with examples of videos created using this tool." The post reads, "Introducing the Dream Machine - a next-generation video model that uses AI to create high-quality, realistic shots from text instructions and images.

At the time of this writing, demand is so high that they may not be able to create anything. A warning label at the top of the Dream Machine website states, "Generation takes 120 seconds. However, due to very high demand, requests will be queued."

It states.

When I tried it, the created videos appeared as blank images on the My Videos page, with my prompt written below them. When I clicked on one of the videos, the video did not appear, but a page with the prompt text appeared. After a total of 15 minutes, I gave up.

Obviously, once the hype for the new tool dies down, it will be easier to get in there and make something, especially if the normal generation time is 120 seconds.

As mentioned, anyone can try it out, but you will need to sign up for an account. Once signed up, the free plan gives you 30 generations left that month, while the more expensive plan offers as many as 2,000 generations per month for $499. Since most people are unlikely to need more than that for personal use, the ability to create 30 videos without spending any money is a great value.

The camera movement in the video above is incredibly lifelike. If we weren't told that Dream Machine made this video, we would have no problem believing that it was made with a high-end camera on some sort of dolly.

We'll have hands-on impressions of the new model by AI expert Ryan Morrison later (when we can actually get it working). In the meantime, it is definitely worth registering and giving it a try. However, it may be quite some time before you can actually see something that your imagination can create.

If you can't wait to try AI video generation, check out Sora Labs and Pika Labs. They are already available and offer similar functionality, but early results suggest that Dream Machine is slightly more powerful.
