What Luma Text to Video is good at
- Text-to-video generation: Creates high-quality, smooth videos from text descriptions of scenes, subjects, actions, and mood
- Camera control: The Luma Concepts feature adds camera movements for professional video shots and cinematography
- Model selection: Different video models with different features are selectable via the model parameter
- Adjustable output: Video resolution and duration are adjustable (except with the Ray 1.6 model, where these parameters don’t apply)
Text to Video Workflow with Luma Partner Nodes
The Luma Text to Video node requires text prompts to describe the video content. In this guide, we’ve created examples usingprompt and luma_concepts to showcase Luma AI’s excellent video generation capabilities.
1. Download the Workflow
This page documents the retired Luma Text to Video node and the example workflow it shipped, which selectedray-2. Luma stops serving that model on October 24, 2026, so neither the node nor the example can run. The example and its step guide stay in this page’s source as a comment.
The replacement is a separate node. Its own guide:
Luma Ray 3.2: Text to Video
See the replacement node and its inputs.
2. Additional Notes
- Writing Prompts: Describe scenes, subjects, actions, and mood in detail for best results
- Luma Concepts: Mainly used for camera control to create professional video shots
- Seed Parameter: Only determines if the node should rerun, doesn’t affect generation results
- Model Selection: Different video models have different features, adjustable via the model parameter
- Resolution and Duration: Adjust output video resolution and length using these parameters
- Ray 1.6 Model Note: Duration and resolution parameters don’t work when using the Ray 1.6 model. Luma stopped serving Ray 1.6 in September 2026, so that option no longer runs.
