I don't understand how anyone can be impressed by this. Okay, wow, a machine flickered some photographs together fast enough to trick your eye into seeing movement. Okay, splendid. The fundamental problem with these moving pictures — and why I will never be interested in a cinematograph show, no matter how clever the illusions become — is that I simply have no interest in the stories a machine tells. I don't want to watch a projector's story any more than I want to sit and listen to a phonograph tell me about its hopes and dreams. If the story has no soul behind it, no living actor before you breathing the words, no stage, no real theater — then it lacks the one and only thing that can make it worthwhile or interesting.

We've been working closely with NVIDIA to build the next generation of frontier models, which we debut today: our family of General World Models. We are thrilled to deepen our partnership with Jensen and his team. To celebrate, Jensen sent us a special holiday message. Hope you enjoy 🐶🎄

Here is something completely new you can do in one shot with Runway. This entire video was generated from a single long audio file. Runway analyzed the file, read the audio transcription, and generated one coherent video to bring it all together visually.

Introducing 1stAI Machine, the first physical device for video editing generated by AI. "we anticipate that the quality of videos will soon match that of photos. At that point, anyone will be able to create movies without the need for a camera, lights, or actors; they will simply interact with the AIs. A tool like 1stAI Machine anticipates that moment by exploring tangible interfaces that enhance creativity." A creation of SpecialGuestX for 1stAveMachine Powered by Runway

If you have a few minutes today, watch this short film. I highly recommend it. You won’t be disappointed. It’s one of the winners of AIF and a film that everyone I meet keeps mentioning. It’s mesmerizing, with a brilliant concept and exceptional execution. Costa Verde. Directed by Léo Cannone & New Forest Film.

The Vending Machine Paradox: When all constraints are removed, decisions might become harder, not easier. A machine like Gen-4.5 that can give you anything forces you to confront what you actually want. Something most people have never clearly defined.

Can AI dance and choreograph? Yes. Yes, it can. I had a song stuck in my head last morning, and before noon, I managed to get it out by making this music video. From idea to execution, it was created in a single morning with Runway. Good ideas don’t need big budgets. Just great storytelling.

A new kind of camera for a new kind of artist. What used to be hard, expensive, and gate-kept will be cheap and accessible. To everyone, not just the few. Many new voices we haven't heard from before. Independent and free. Still, after all, the only thing that will matter is what you're trying to tell.

Last week we debuted our new real-time video agents with one of the hardest demos possible: live television. The BBC is now using Runway Characters to augment segments of their programming. Wild to see this live. So excited for all the new possible applications to come.

The new Gen 4.5 update feels like an incredible unlock, especially for narrative work and consistency across scenes. Whenever I test new models internally, I find that the best way to evaluate performance is to use them to build a story. Here’s one I’ve always wanted to see brought to life.

TIL The Matrix spent $40M for a 6-minute VFX scene. That means they spent $150,000 per second. Yes, that's per second. If you blink for too long you might have missed a couple million in production. Other major movies spent between $20,000 to $60,000 per second. h/t from the last Corridor Crew video where they ranked the most expensive VFX shots.
