Luma's marketing showcases carefully optimised examples. Users describe a consistent quality gap between published demos and what typical, unlabored prompts produce — requiring prompt engineering skills that the platform's onboarding doesn't address.
"The demo videos look incredible. My first 30 attempts looked nothing like them. The good results take a lot of iteration that eats through your credits."
At ~$0.25 per generation on the Standard plan, a single complex shot requiring 10–15 iterations to get right costs $2.50–$3.75 — which scales faster than users expect for a month of active use.
