Luma Dream Machine: The Perfect Starting Point
Luma's free access and high-quality output make it one of the best tools for anyone to start experimenting with AI video. However, its free model comes with limitations on generation speed, volume, and commercial use, and its paid tiers can be a significant jump.
Challenges of Scaling with a Free Tool
- Rate limits and slower generation queues on the free tier.
- Lack of an API for programmatic video creation.
- Subscription costs for higher volume can be prohibitive.
- Watermarking and commercial use restrictions.
