How to prompt Luma Ray3.2

How to structure your prompt

Describe one coherent text-to-video scene: subject and setting, visible action as it unfolds, camera movement and framing, mood and lighting. Make the intended timing and progression clear in ordinary language. Choose the clip controls in Luma; multi-keyframe, reframe and video modification use separate workflows.
