I Analyzed 500+ LumaLabs AI Generations: Here's How to Prompt

[@AbdulQudoos193]

Great analysis man. Finally, someone who's providing actual value rather than just giving AI news.

[@EasyStartAI]

Can’t get away from all the “news.” The worst part might be the hype. I’d say more than half the things coming out aren’t worth the time. I’ve scrapped so many video ideas after trying out a new “game changer”

[@lenny_Videos]

Yes i also get tired of all those aI News videos.

[@EasyStartAI]

Thank you. Glad it helped!

[@alanscott2422]

Excellent overview on LUMA, and thumbs up on the analysis. I have followed your advice on promoting creating a GPT for Luma. Just started with Luma labs on the Free Teir, yet to test out my GPT. as they are only allowing 5 generations a day. Remember to turn on your Thank you button for those of us who might like to buy you a coffee.

[@EasyStartAI]

Love it! I tried a few of the available GPTs out there while making this video and I was a bit underwhelmed. Also, appreciate you for sharing about the "Thank You" button. I had no clue that was a thing. I just looked into it but looks like my channel is too small for now. One day!

Amazing tip about creating a prompt machine with Claude, very useful!

[@EasyStartAI]

Thank you! lol my brain hurt thinking up new prompts. It’s a great assistant

[@dirtydevotee]

(2:50) I think it's important to understand what "enhance prompt" does. Let's say your prompt is "kitten eating breakfast". Because there are a total of three tokens, each token is about 33% weighted (technically "kitten" gets a boost of 7% because it's up front and "breakfast" gets a decrease of 7% because it's "deeper" in the prompt). However, "breakfast" is a problem because did you mean "cat food" (as in a "kitten's breakfast") or "people food" (as in the "breakfast" you would expect with a prompt like "selfie with breakfast"). "Enhance" changes both of those results. First, it turns your three-token prompt into a paragraph (such as "a kitten with a beautiful tail engages in the consumption of a meal of food for a cat"). Notice it has already solved the problem of the nebulous nature of the word "breakfast". It has also altered the "weights" of those original tokens--shifting the output to some lesser-used prompts like "beautiful kitten" and "consumption". The elevator explanation is this: if you want a soft image with lots of creativity for the AI to play around with the output, check "enhance prompt", but if you want strict adherence then write your own pithy and targeted prompts manually.

[@EasyStartAI]

Great explanation!

[@timothywells8589]

@dirtydevotee thank you for explaining this. I canceld my subscription because I found it just produced garabe no matter what I prompted but to be fair I know realise I was prompting like it was SD1.5. I'm going to give it another go with this suggestion to see if can improve results. 😊

That video helped me tremendously. Thank you! If you got the chance to try Luma with developing multiple videos for the same character, and I mean a consistent character, please let us know.

[@EasyStartAI]

Will do!!

[@suzannecarter445]

I love your method and useful results! (just subscribed)

[@EasyStartAI]

Thank you! It took a few do overs and some proper planning but we got there

[@TeleviseGuy]

By watching this video I realized how similar this is to handling a professional video or photo shoot - deciding on a simpler prompt, disabling enhance, etc. are the equivalents of pulling back on the ISO, adjusting white balance or increasing shutter speed.

[@EasyStartAI]

That’s a really interesting way of looking at it. I totally agree

[@sickleandsuckle]

I always saw that Enhance off worked a lot better for doing image to video. Well edited and well written video! I want to also point out that Luma is incredibly good at animating 3D renders for some reason. I guess it's from hours of Pixar and Dreamworks films fed into its machinery?

[@EasyStartAI]

That is great to know! I ran out of credits on multiple paid accounts so I’m waiting for those credits to recharge 😅 The 3D renders are the ones I want to test out next!

[@CinematicSoundMaestro]

😂😂😂

[@DerekMurphycreativindie]

How do you do image to video? I don’t have that option in Luma labs…

[@CinematicSoundMaestro]

@@DerekMurphycreativindie on the left side of the prompt box there is an icon of an image. If you click this, not only you go to image to video function but also you can use two images as a base for a video that combines both of them

[@DerekMurphycreativindie]

@@CinematicSoundMaestro that's awesome thanks

[@piggywahwah]

That werewolf scene at the end is great. Have u tried this one? Using the most outlandish words. Sometimes that works if things arent working. Like frenzied, frantically, desperate, ... Just type the most extreme words, AI cant do what you ask but it's like a nudge in the right direction.

[@EasyStartAI]

Clearly you’ve been doing some experimenting too! I did notice that, at times, I’d throw in some intense word and it’d help. The biggest issue seems to be with my reference images. They need to be very similar between morphs. A little extra color here, or lighting there and there’s either some dramatic change or just a fade out / fade in between images.

[@Godzil]

hi i'm trying to create image-to-image morphing video without moving. the results are good but it always jumps or moving or zooming and makes me crazy. any way to improve it? that's the prompt i'm using: "Create a smooth image-to-image morphing video. The transition should focus on blending the two images seamlessly, gradually altering shapes, colors, and features to transform one image into the other. Avoid introducing any additional motion or camera panning; the transformation should feel fluid and natural while maintaining the central composition. Ensure the frames transition in such a way that each intermediate stage appears coherent, with no sudden jumps or distortions."

[@voodoochild420ai]

cool vid and nice info, the part about enhanced on or off was really interesting because ive just been leaving it on by default without even thinking that turning it off may have better results in some cases

[@EasyStartAI]

Same here! That was the most surprising thing to me.

[@ericgcastile]

Great video. I think they removed the glossary.

[@markrichards5630]

Since enhance has changed from launch you might need to redo all of this. As far as training Claude on the user docs, that might not be the best strategy - only about two of those camera terms work in Luma at the moment (any better than chance). I'm really not sure why that list is in the docs

Bro what is the prompt that you were using at 6.58 of the video , can you give me the exact prompt that you were using to generate the images to video of that ice monster. I need the exact prompt of the forth clip you were generated. It would be a great help for me ❤

[@EasyStartAI]

Hey! Sure thing: "cinematic shot of a huge snow beast charging forward --seed 1567048580" (MidJourney). The Luma prompt for the 4th clip was a flop as it clearly didn't listen on that one: "tracking shot, large hairy snow beast stomping towards the camera."

[@lenny_Videos]

Great video ❤ Can you share your findings on what the best camera movement prompts are? And do you also use most of the prompt from a MJ image in Luma? I found that sometimes no prompt and only a camera movement prompt can work as well. Anyway, thanks for your help and have a nice weekend, mate

[@EasyStartAI]

Thank you! I think I’m going to do another video on it. I’ve been using Runway and Luma both a great deal and learned a lot more. Because my prompts were so varied in subject and movement, 500 generations aren’t enough to give a solid answer. I’m getting closer and I think it has more to do with finding the sweet spot of subject, reference image and prompt. Totally agree on the no prompt / just camera strategy!

[@nana-ob4yw]

i dont know why so hard to implement no camera movement in ai generative tools. can you provide me what prompt for no camera movement?

How do we achieve consistency across videos? Same character, same surroundings...

[@EasyStartAI]

Honestly, there’s not a great way to do this yet. I made another video on consistent characters but consistent surroundings are really tough. For each video, I have to generate sometimes up to 50 images per scene to get one that looks similar enough. I do it all in MidJoueny using SREF (style reference) and CREF (character reference)

[@b3arwithm3]

@@EasyStartAI I do the same. It's so time consuming and it gets expensive. We have no guarantee we will get something close. I think it's great for single scene, but for story telling, it is nearly impossible

Could this knowledge be feed back in claude, so it can refine it prompting?

[@EasyStartAI]

I actually fed it my whole data sheet and asked for insights. They were, meh. At first I started to refine it (too long, too many instructions ) and it definitely helped. Eventually, I realized that even with 500+ prompts of data, it was still too few. For it to work as we want, I need thousands more rows of data and I need to add more columns like subject, image description, movement requested, etc. Then I think we’d be getting somewhere. I might revisit this in the future or build a GPT around it for everyone to use (assuming it’s useful).

This is fascinating. Great work! I wonder how Runway Gen 3 compares. I haven't subscribed to Luma so my experience there is limited.

[@EasyStartAI]

It’s funny, the snow beast I couldn’t get to work was inspired by a Runway 3 demo. I’ve only used Runway briefly but I’ll say this, I struggled to get a werewolf transformation out of Luma but Runway did a bang-up job first go.

[@leonpeeon]

@@EasyStartAI Interesting. So with my Gen 3 unlimited I should be good to go with making a snow monster short haha There's something about Luma physics or human movement that I find odd many times but again, haven't used it all that much. But so far I'm also struggling with getting results from Runway... Would be interesting if you do use Gen 3 at some point to compare. Subbed to you so I'll look out for more.

[@EasyStartAI]

@@leonpeeon I'll definitely being diving into Runway next. I agree with your sentiment on Luma. What appealed to me was the image-to-video. I have no doubt Runway will incorporate this soon but I definitely struggle quite a bit more with text-to-video generations.

[@koanikal]

The thing that sucks is, especially when you're new to it, you end up generating a lot of failures, and you're limited on how many generations you can do (even if you have a paid subscription). I've kind of given up on AI video due to constantly running out of credits before I even achieve a semblance of what I was going for, and unfortunately not a single creator seems willing to share example prompts for how they achieved some stunning AI art. I've watched many videos on this subject, and have yet to get a good example of an effective detailed prompt. So, I give up. Not worth paying tons of money (for Luma, Runway Gen 3, Kling, et al) to still not understand how to do it and get poor results. I feel like these companies are failing themselves by not explaining the best ways to create the best prompts to get what you want. Like, I'm unwilling to subscribe to Kling (for instance) because I've wasted the free credits creating what turned out to be garbage.

[@EasyStartAI]

Fair enough. I put a lot of time and effort into creating all these shots, there are no magic prompts. Unfortunately, it is a lot of re-running the same thing until you get a generation you like. The truth is we’re still in the very early stages.

[@MabelYolanda-c9i]

How do you expect people to do several prompts if it takes about 6 days to get just one of 5 seconds?? And when I reported this to the company with the screen capture, they answered me 14 days later. This company is the most unprofessional thing I’ve ever seen not only in AI, but in general.

[@yaojin-gr1pz]

The biggest flaw is，Characters will automatically change their faces.I am Asian.I'm just trying to make the character smile.But the final effect is，I'm transformed into a European I don't recognize.

[@EasyStartAI]

Totally agree! World building is great but keeping humans consistent is SO hard / impossible. There needs to be some movement and duration sliders (along with model improvements). Because all generations default to 5 seconds, it overcomplicates a simple smile.

[@Work-Live-Abroad]

Yeah, but the solution is I have to deepfake every face to make it consistent.

@@Metarig again you’re showing a lot of naivety, the platform and many other competitors platforms have recently being released. Clearly you think it’s going to stay for 5 seconds of video forever?
