Brick restoration spends Luma Ray 2 at 50cr
Luma Ray 2 is 720p, 5s or 9s, 50cr because joint texture is the job — Kling at 12cr smears the brick.
Luma Ray 2 is 720p, 5s or 9s, 50cr: joint texture is why you pay, Kling 12cr will smear the brick.
Masonry restoration is high-frequency mortar. The joint is the SKU. A cheap 1080p generate that turns brick into pudding is not a bargain. You are buying five or nine seconds in which the bed joints still read as joints. That meter is Luma Ray 2 720p.
Joint texture is the SKU
A restoration ad is not a "beautiful brick house" paragraph. The buyer is looking at raked joints, matching mortar colour, the difference between a rebuilt wythe and a painted smear. Text-to-video has to invent that wall from language. Most rows invent a wall, then average the joints into a texture paste. You can still tell it is "brick." You cannot tell it is work.
This niche is masonry restoration, not a new-build hero, not a painted mural, not a contractor's general capability page. Name the object: running bond, head joints, a struck bed, a reconstructed corner. Prompt camera and weathering on top of that object. "Cinematic historic facade, golden hour" is how you get a stock street with no joint.
If the elevation has to be this elevation — a photographed wall the owner already knows — this catalog row is the wrong door. Luma Ray 2 720p is text-to-video. It does not take the survey still. A photographed wall is image-to-video on a different row. This page is the spend when you are generating brick motion from a brief and the joints are why the clip exists.
Do not generate a mason's face explaining tuckpointing. The clip is the wall. Type the mix or the "historic brick restoration" line after lock if you need words. The generate is texture.
Fifty credits for 720p, 5s or 9s
Open the row from the AI video generator. Luma Ray 2 720p is Luma's 720p video generation: durations 5s or 9s, resolution 720p, 50 credits, not discounted. The catalog does not list native audio on this slug. Do not write a voiceover into the prompt expecting a soundtrack. Score after, or ship silent. Do not claim a bed the row does not ship.
Five seconds is the short inspect. Nine seconds is the long inspect. There is no 15s on this row. Stretching the idea with a different model is how the joints smear. Iterate at 5s until the bond reads. Pay 50 credits again for 9s only when the short take already holds.
720p is the ceiling on this slug. It is enough for a feed if the joints survive. Chasing 1080p on a cheaper row is how you buy more pixels of a smeared wall. Restoration is not a resolution contest. It is whether the head joint is still a head joint at second three.
Prompt only what the still would have pinned if you had one: bond pattern, mortar colour family, camera locked or a slow lateral along the course. Do not prompt a crew. Do not prompt a "before and after" inside one generate — that is two states, and this row has no last frame. Before-and-after is two stills and a different job.
Kling at 12 credits smears the brick
Kling 3 Turbo Text to Video is the cheap silent motion row: audio false, 3s–15s, 1080p, 12 credits, discounted. That is the right spend for a yard, a dock, a truck. It is the wrong spend for mortar.
Turbo will give you 1080p. Turbo will give you fifteen seconds. Turbo will still average the brick. High-frequency joints are the first thing a fast text-to-video row loses. You will see a wall. You will not see restoration. Paying 12 credits for a smear you cannot show a property manager is not cheaper than 50 credits for a 5s take that holds.
Kling 3 Turbo is silent. That is not a reason to pick it for masonry. You did not need a voice. You needed the joint. Run Turbo when the subject is large motion and coarse shape. Run Luma Ray 2 720p when the subject is the texture of the wall.
Do not "fix" a Turbo smear by upscaling. Upscale sharpens paste. It does not recover a joint the generate never made. Do not stitch three smeared 5s clips into a 15s restoration film. The joint was wrong in every clip.
A photographed elevation is image-to-video, not a second Turbo paragraph.
Not the contractors page
/for/contractors is the general contractor audience: crews, scopes, the business of building. It is not this listing. Masonry restoration is the joint. Do not rewrite the contractor page as a brick generate, and do not ship a Luma wall as if it were the whole trade.
Roofers are roof. Landscapers are grade and plant. Nearby, and not this SKU. Tuckpointing from a real joint photograph is a different niche and a different row — still the wall, but the plate is a photo, not a paragraph. If you have the elevation, use it. If you do not, and you are still generating brick from text, spend the 50 credits on Luma Ray 2 720p and inspect the joints before you cut a voice or a caption.
Muted autoplay still needs a line if there is a CTA. Luma will not typeset "tuckpointing, historic brick." Overlay after the take holds. Captions only if someone spoke.
FAQ
Why pay 50 credits when Kling 3 Turbo is 12 credits and 1080p?
Because the job is joint texture, not pixel count. Turbo at 12 credits, discounted, 3s–15s, 1080p, silent, will smear the brick. Luma Ray 2 720p is 5s or 9s, 50 credits, 720p. You are paying for the mortar to survive.
Does Luma Ray 2 720p take my wall photo?
No. This slug is text-to-video. A photographed elevation is image-to-video on another row. Do not paste the address into the prompt and expect the model to find the building.
Can I prompt a voiceover on Luma Ray 2 to explain the restoration?
The catalog does not list native audio on luma-ray-2-720p. Do not treat the prompt as a microphone. If someone must speak, put a real named person on a different file. The wall take stays the wall.
Is 9 seconds always better than 5?
No. Nine seconds of a smeared wall is a longer smear. Lock the bond at 5s. Spend the 9s take only when the short one already reads as restoration.
