## Summary

Luma AI argues that Synthesia, an avatar platform built to generate digital presenters reading scripts, cannot produce cinematic scenes with camera motion or lighting control. It also says Synthesia cannot export HDR or EXR files for post-production and forces full regeneration for targeted edits, while Luma's Ray 3.2 offers native HDR and 16-bit EXR export.
