Luma Ray2 is a multimodal video model supporting text-to-video and image-to-video. The API (REST) accepts prompts and optional keyframe images; returns async generation tasks with video URL on completion. The model excels at camera movement control (orbit, dolly, zoom) specified via text. Generation time: ~2 min for a 5-second clip.
