On August 11, 2026, Luma AI launched Luma Scenes, a workflow that builds an editable storyboard from brand assets, reference images or a brief and renders nothing until each scene is approved. Luma announced it in Introducing Luma Scenes.

What Luma Scenes included

One workflow: Luma described a single workflow for text to video or image to video.
Storyboard inputs: storyboards could come from brand assets, reference images, a brief or any mix of them. Any keyframe could be regenerated, revised through comments or replaced.
Approval before rendering: nothing rendered before approval, and fixing one scene left approved frames untouched.
Consistency and timing: all scenes were generated together in a single context to keep style, setting and spatial layout consistent, and timing was set by dragging each keyframe to where it should appear.
Models: storyboards were powered by Uni-1, and rendering used Ray 3.2 or Seedance 2.
Exports and formats: output could be one complete video, separate clips, or the sequence opened as Ray 3.2 panels, in 9:16 or 16:9. An approved sequence could be re-run with one variable swapped.

What it meant for people building with AI video

Approving keyframes before rendering let ad and content teams avoid paying for full re-renders when one shot was wrong. Because fixing one scene left approved frames untouched, a team could correct a single scene without redoing the rest, and could re-run an approved sequence with one variable swapped.

Availability at launch

Luma said Luma Scenes was live at the time of the announcement. The announcement did not state plans or pricing.
