How to Migrate from Luma AI to InVideo AI (Step-by-Step)

Last updated: April 2026

Migrating from Luma AI to InVideo AI typically occurs when creators shift focus from 3D modeling and cinematic generation to faster, text-based video production for marketing, social media, or explainer content. Luma excels at 3D capture and artistic video generation, while InVideo AI specializes in turning text into polished, edited videos quickly. This guide covers exporting your Luma assets, adapting workflows to InVideo's text-to-video approach, transferring media, and maximizing InVideo's template library. You'll learn how to map Luma's creative features to InVideo's automated production pipeline.

Estimated Timeline

solo user

3-5 hours for audit, setup, and first video tests

small team

1-2 days for training, asset transfer, and workflow adaptation

enterprise

1-2 weeks for full migration, template creation, and team onboarding

Data Transfer Guide

Export from Luma AI: In Luma, navigate to 'My Creations.' Select videos and click 'Download' for MP4 files. For 3D models, use 'Export' for GLB/OBJ formats. Save all files locally or to cloud storage. Import to InVideo AI: InVideo doesn't directly import Luma projects. Instead, upload exported videos/images via 'Upload Media' in the InVideo editor. Use them as custom assets in new videos. For 3D models, convert to 2D video clips first. Text prompts from Luma can be copied into InVideo's script field. No automated transfer exists—this is a manual recreation process focusing on final outputs, not project files.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I transfer my data from Luma AI to InVideo AI?+
No direct transfer exists. Export final videos and images from Luma, then upload them as custom media in InVideo. 3D models and project files cannot be imported; you'll recreate videos using text prompts.
How long does migration take?+
For a solo user, 3-5 hours to export assets, learn InVideo, and recreate a few videos. Teams may need 1-2 days due to coordination and training. Complexity depends on how many Luma projects need recreation.
Will I lose any features switching to InVideo AI?+
Yes, you lose 3D capture and model generation. InVideo focuses on 2D video from text. However, you gain automated editing, voiceovers, and templates. Evaluate if your use case aligns with InVideo's strengths.
Can I use both tools during migration?+
Yes, run both subscriptions temporarily. Use Luma for existing 3D needs while testing InVideo. This reduces risk. Cancel Luma once you've recreated essential videos and confirmed InVideo meets requirements.
Is InVideo AI cheaper than Luma AI?+
Both offer free tiers. Paid plans vary: InVideo starts at $20/month for extensive features, while Luma's pricing is project-based. InVideo may be more cost-effective for high-volume 2D video production, but compare based on your specific needs.
