Adobe is bringing Luma AI's new Ray3 AI video model to its Firefly generative AI web app. For the first two weeks after launch, the model will only be available there and on Luma's own Dream Machine platform.

Adobe has integrated several third-party AI models into Firefly since the beginning of the year. Since April, Firefly has included the image generators OpenAI GPT, Google Imagen 3, and Flux from Black Forest Labs. Last month, Adobe integrated Google Gemini 2.5 Flash Image into Firefly.

Ray3 is described by Luma AI as the first "reasoning video model." The AI is designed not only to generate scenes based on prompts, but also to conceptualize them, plan intermediate steps, and evaluate its own results. Compared to previous video models, this approach promises more consistent motion sequences, more logical scene sequences, and characters that remain stable across multiple frames.

According to the manufacturer, the video model generates clips in HDR in accordance with the ACES2065-1-EXR production standard – with a choice of 10-, 12-, or 16-bit color depth. This makes it particularly interesting for professional video editing. Clips are output in 1080p as standard. An AI upscaler converts them to 4K. The maximum video length is limited to ten seconds.

To help with brainstorming, the model offers a Draft Mode, which, according to Adobe, renders test videos up to 20 times faster in low quality. In addition to text prompts, the model also accepts images as input. It can extend existing video clips and generate seamless sequences with the loop function.

Integration with Firefly offers Creative Cloud users the advantage of being able to transfer content directly to Adobe applications, such as the Premiere Pro video editing software. Adobe emphasizes that all content is provided with Content Credentials and is not used for training other models.

Subscribers to Creative Cloud Pro (the previous complete subscription with all Adobe applications) or Adobe Firefly can experiment with Luma AI Ray3 without restriction until October 1. After that, Adobe will charge credits.

CC subscribers receive 4.000 credits per month for premium generations. It now costs $77.99 per month. Firefly Standard costs $10.98 per month and offers 2.000 credits, while Firefly Pro offers 7.000 credits for $32.99 per month. Generating a five-second video consumes 100 credits in 540p, 250 credits in 720p, and 500 credits in 1080p.
