Luma just released Ray3, and there's some genuinely useful stuff here. The Game-Changer: Professional Integration Finally - 16-bit HDR with EXR export. This means we can actually bring AI footage into Resolve/Nuke/AE and grade it properly. No more weird color space nightmares. Smart Workflow Changes Two things that actually make sense: 1. Visual annotations - Draw on images instead of prompt engineering forever 2. Draft Mode → Hi-Fi Mode - Test ideas cheap/fast, then render only your selects in 4K HDR What to Watch For They're showing real shorts made with this ("Wasted" and "Subway"), not just tech demos. That's promising. But we still need answers on: - Actual clip duration limits - Real-world rendering times - Commercial usage rights The SDR to HDR conversion could be huge for archive footage if it works well. My Take This isn't about prettier pixels - it's about fitting into real pipelines. The EXR export alone shows they get it. Not replacing cameras tomorrow, but could be killer for previz, impossible shots, or enhancing existing footage. Anyone else have access? Share your results. Real tests > marketing claims. What would you actually use this for in current projects?

ByteDance’s new model folds text-to-image + image editing into one engine, so you can generate and surgically edit in the same flow. Think: swap subjects, rewrite poster text while preserving font/kerning, relight scenes, or build consistent looks from multiple reference images. It’s also fast and goes up to 4K. If Nano-Banana wowed you, this one will BLOW. YOUR. MIND. 🤯 Why it’s cool: - One model for gen + edit (less tool-hopping). - Batch & multi-reference for style/character consistency. - Up to 4K output; faster than the last version. Designers: don’t fear it — master it and dominate. Now go make something and post it below. 💥🎬 Check it out HERE!

Hey I’m excited you joined my new Skool group, AIography - The AI Film Academy! This will be the place to dive deep into the intersection of AI, filmmaking and content creation. Right now, the group is in private mode and there's not much here. However, I plan on filling it with content very soon. As for my background, I’ve been a professional film and television editor for decades, working on both features and TV. I was one of the first editors to embrace digital workflows, which led to consulting roles with companies like Adobe, Apple, and Avid—so I know a thing or two about cutting-edge technology and storytelling. My goal with this group is to share everything I’ve learned about AI’s role in filmmaking, from tools to techniques, to help you stay ahead of the curve in this rapidly changing industry. One of the most exciting parts for me is that we will all be building this community together. I want to know what you want to learn, how you plan to use AI to achieve your goals and dreams, and how we can work together to push the limits of what’s possible. We’ll be posting news about the latest AI film festivals so you can enter your projects, and we’ll showcase each other’s work, giving and receiving feedback to help make our projects the best they can be. And we'll have guest speakers from my many years in the industry to provide wisdom and guidance. You’ll be among the first to access exclusive content, tips, tutorials, and discussions about how AI is transforming film and television production. You're now part of a community that’s just getting started, but where the potential is limitless.

500 creators, one community. AIography is just getting started. 👀 We just hit another milestone — 500 members strong! 🙌A huge thank you to everyone who’s joined and contributed to making this such a special community. I know things have been a little quiet lately — that’s because I’ve been head-down, fully consumed with building Lumarka, our revolutionary new AI filmmaking/content creation app. 🎬🤖 But stay tuned! In the near future, I’ll be sharing some very cool things here, including exclusive sneak peeks of Lumarka before anyone else gets to see them. More soon — and thanks again for being part of this journey. 🚀

Hey Party People, Happy Summer Solstice! Very little info available about Seedance, a new AI video gen model from China's behemoth ByteDance, (makers of TikTok). A lot of people are saying it's a monster, challenging, even surpassing, Google's Veo 3! 🤯 I mean, can this stuff be coming at us any faster?? Lot's of demos on their home page and you can check out some other info I found HERE. You can also try the model for yourself at Fal.ai If you make anything with it, or learn more details, be sure to share it with us!
