Luma Adds Reframe Outpainting to Dream Machine
Luma AI has launched Reframe, a Dream Machine feature that extends images and videos beyond their original borders so creators can reformat content for different aspect ratios without reshooting.
Luma AI announced Reframe, an outpainting and resizing tool for its Dream Machine platform. It generates new visual content at the edges of an existing image or video frame, in any direction.
According to the company, Reframe keeps the main subject intact and uses Dream Machine's core model to fill in the surrounding scene. Luma likens the effect to pulling a camera back to reveal more of the shot.
Features listed in the announcement:
- Expansion vertically, horizontally or diagonally
- Six preset aspect ratios: 9:16, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 16:9 and 21:9
- Extending a frame to add environment, or to recover framing that was cropped out
- Reformatting footage for social platforms without reshoots
Luma aims the tool at VFX artists, social media editors and individual creators.
To use it, open the expanded view of a generation and click "Reframe." Users can also upload their own media through a new Editor tab on the web, or through the upload button in the Ideas view on iOS. A canvas then lets users move and resize the content, choose an aspect ratio and add a text prompt. Each result appears in that Idea's edit thread.
The announcement gives two different accounts of who can use the feature. It says Reframe is "launching first for Enterprise and Unlimited plans," but its availability section says the feature is available on all paid plans. Luma did not publish benchmarks, generation times, limits on video length or resolution, or pricing details for the feature.
