Luma beside Morphic: where each step is explained
Luma's docs have a page on six of the seven steps and Morphic's on all seven; the two are documented differently on four: starting from a script or prompt, voices and dialogue, changing one shot or scene and getting the video out. From 4 source pages, read 2026-09-25; no maker pays to be listed.

1Where the manuals differ
Only Morphic has a page on voices and dialogue. Both document starting from a script or prompt, keeping characters the same, breaking a story into scenes or shots, changing one shot or scene, getting the video out and sharing for viewing or review.
For a project that moves between the two, the steps one leaves out are where the other's pages are worth reading first.
