How to use Luma Ray 2 Modify
Open a Create Video flow on the Canvas.
Select Luma Ray 2 Modify from the Model Menu.
Upload your source video in the Video Upload box.
Add a Start Keyframe image (optional but recommended for best results). Use the Grab Frame from Video tool in the right side panel to grab the first frame of your video and edit with Nano Banana Pro.
Write your prompt in the Subject box. Describe what you want the output to look like.
Adjust the intensity slider to control how closely the output follows the original video. Higher intensities mean more creative changes.
Click Generate.
Tips
Use a start image. Guiding the transformation with a start keyframe gives the model a clear visual target. Editing the first frame of your video with Nano Banana Pro is recommended.
Use stable footage. Smooth, steady video works better than shaky handheld clips.
Keep backgrounds simple. Filming against clean or minimal backgrounds helps the AI isolate and preserve the subject.
Describe what you want, not what you don't want. Positive prompts work better than negative ones.
Start with shorter clips. Test your ideas on short videos before committing to longer ones.
Try different modes with the same footage. The same video and prompt can produce very different results at Adhere vs Reimagine.
