Generate creative 3D images

With Captions’ Luma AI integration, you can generate custom images for your video — directly inside your video editor.

It’s powerful, intuitive, and designed to fit seamlessly into your editing flow.

Four Luma AI-generated images in different art styles

Generate and style production-ready images, directly in your timeline

Luma AI gives you full control over the look and feel of every image in your video — from environment plates to overlays and branded inserts. Define a visual style through text prompts, adjusting elements like lighting, texture, and depth of field. Once dialed in, apply that style across all generated images in your project for visual consistency.

It’s the fastest way to create cohesive, high-quality visuals without jumping between tools.

Get high-quality images of any subject with one prompt

Images in your video projects can elevate your edits with stronger storytelling and clearer context, but sourcing or designing them often slows you down. With Luma AI integrated into Captions, you can generate high-quality images directly inside your video project.

Thankfully, you don’t need to know anything about image creation or editing to use Luma. Just describe what you need — scene composition, visual style, lighting — and Luma returns multiple options instantly. No graphic design skills or external software needed. It’s the fastest way to get production-ready visuals that match your video’s narrative and tone.

Refine your visuals with fast iteration and prompt-level control

Need to tweak a generated image mid-edit? Instantly regenerate it or adjust the prompt to dial in exactly what you need — whether it’s a different color, lighting, or composition.

This means you can quickly iterate on backgrounds, overlays, or graphic elements without leaving your editing flow. Make changes on instantly, maintain visual consistency, and get every frame looking just right.

Cast AI avatars

On-camera talent connects with your audience, but finding the right people and scheduling video shoots makes hiring more challenging than it’s worth. With a custom talking avatar from Captions, you can create an entire series of videos in no time — no filming required. Simply cast one of our lifelike digital actors, and watch as they read your script aloud with natural expressions and voices. These characters get it right on the first take every time, never needing reshoots. Compliment these videos with AI-generated visuals, giving each post a polished look without expensive production costs.

Edit with ease

Use Captions’ video editor to turn raw footage into polished posts. Just upload your clips into Captions and choose a preset editing style. The platform intelligently turns your recording into a finished video project complete with transitions, effects, and B-roll. Once the software makes these changes, put the finishing touches on your post by adding AI-generated images. There’s no complicated software to learn and no need for tedious cutting and splicing — Captions does it all for you.

Add finishing touches

Images aren’t the only thing you can produce with Captions. Use our generative AI tools to make sound effects, music, video clips, and voiceovers. Once you upload your footage, head to the Gen AI sidebar to select what element you want to make. Choose your AI model, insert a prompt, and create, all with a few taps. Whether you need a theme song for your podcast, sound effects for your comedy sketch, or narration for your video tutorial, Captions can help. 

Frequently asked questions

FAQ

What types of images can Luma AI generate?

Luma AI can generate photorealistic images or digital art in any style, from manga to the Old Masters. One of Luma’s great strengths is its ability to accurately interpret prompts. So, if you can describe something in words, there’s a good chance that Luma can make a picture of it.

Can I use my own images as a reference?

If you want to use an existing image as reference material, write a text prompt describing the picture in as much detail as possible. Luma AI’s integrations will generate a photo closely resembling your input. To make adjustments, tweak the prompt and regenerate the picture until it perfectly suits your video. Alternatively, you can upload existing images directly into your Captions projects.

How does Luma AI handle image modifications?

After adding your generated image to the video editing timeline in Captions, you can scale its size, change its location on the screen, and control how long it appears in the video. These features give you total control over how your images look within your finished project.

How does Luma AI relate image generation to video creation?

Captions’ Luma AI integration helps content creators make art that supplements their videos. Use Luma AI to generate graphics that add to your story, then adjust the size, placement, and timing of those visuals in Captions’ video editor.

Are there limitations to Luma AI's image generation?

You can use the Luma Labs image generator to create whatever you want in any art style — except for content that goes against Luma’s policies. Other than that, you’re limited only by your own imagination.

Can I create 3D images with Captions?

In Captions’ interface, Luma AI creates photorealistic images of objects and people. We also offer a 3D Avatar Creator, which makes lifelike videos of characters that look and sound like real people. These avatars are customizable, as you can change their lighting, background, and even clothing. Supply any script, and your chosen avatar will read it aloud with synced lip movements.
