Prompt length the vendor recommends
40 to 100 wordsThe recommended length is well below the cap on every model that publishes both. The cap is the point of rejection, not the target: writing to it produces worse output, not more detail.

Strengths

  • Native HDR generation in 16-bit colour and EXR export at ACES2065-1, unusual among video models
  • Up to 64 keyframes with explicit frame indexes for precise timing control
  • Six aspect ratios including 21:9 and 1:1
  • Loop generation
  • Forward and backward extension by passing a prior generation ID as a keyframe
  • 360p draft tier at $0.06 per 5s clip makes iteration very cheap

Weaknesses

  • No audio generation documented
  • 10-second cap, and 10s is incompatible with HDR, start_frame and end_frame
  • HDR is restricted to 5s at 720p/1080p and rejects 360p/540p and looping
  • 1080p 10s clips cost $3.60 each, expensive relative to competitors
  • Luma's own pages disagree on keyframe limits and Modify Video length

Where the sources disagree

Recorded rather than resolved. Picking the tidier number would hide the fact that the vendor's own pages do not agree.

What to understand before using it

MCP servers that front Luma AI

Servers in the media MCP directory whose own description or homepage names this vendor. Absence of a server here is not evidence that none exists: most publish no tool list at all.

Shotcraft hosts no sample output. Judging a model means watching its own showreel with your own eyes, and a clip re-hosted here would be a clip we chose.
