I’ve spent countless hours trying to get AI video just right. You write the perfect prompt, but the motion feels random and out of your control. Super frustrating, right?
Well, Luma AI just dropped its new video-to-video feature, and it’s a massive step forward for creators who want more control.
So, what’s the difference? It’s simple:
- 📝 Text-to-Video: You describe a scene from scratch.
- 🖼️ Image-to-Video: You start with a still image and animate it.
- 🎥 Video-to-Video: You upload a source video and transform it. The AI follows the original motion, which is awesome!
I’ve been testing it, and while it’s not flawless yet, I found a simple hack to get way better results and waste less time.
It’s all about the ‘Strength’ setting. Here’s my cheat sheet:
- 📌 Go for Low Strength: This is perfect for making small changes. Think of it like applying a new style or skin to your original video while keeping the core action intact.
- 🚀 Go for High Strength: Want a total transformation? This is your setting. It completely reimagines your clip, creating something new that still follows the original’s movements.
My advice? Avoid the middle ground for now. It can get a bit unpredictable and trippy. Your best bet is to stick to the extremes to start.
This is a supercharged new tool for any creator. You just have to experiment to find the right balance for your own projects.
