What it does
Video and image generation with Luma's own models and third-party models, usable for trailer shots and marketing clips.
Video-to-sound model (SFX 2.0) that generates sound effects, foley and ambience synced to a video while keeping its dialogue; also text-to-SFX, via a web studio, API and MCP server.
Verdict
For marketing video clips on a paid plan; commercial use is listed from the US$30/month Plus tier, with no free plan.
For sound effects synced to trailer or gameplay footage; the free plan is non-commercial and watermarked, so anything you ship needs a paid plan.
