RunwayML is not limited to 4sec! Here's how you can bypass the limitations 👇 Step 1: Generate your video with Runway Step 2: Get ffmpeg Step 3: Grab the last frame of your video using this command ffmpeg -sseof -3 -i [input_file_name.mp4] -update 1 -q:v 1 [output_file_name.jpg] Step 4 : Use the image output as the input for your next RunwayML generation Step 5: Stich them together in your favorite editing software Step 6: This is the most important step! Like, RT and follow for more good stuff, thanks! ♥️🤗 It's not perfect, but it's a start, I added 5 clips in total in the video below, just so you can see how it evolves over time. With a lot of generations eventually it can look decent for 2-3 clips. Voice by ElevenLabs Music and SFX by Epidemic Sound Sound mixing with Ableton

Here's my 6 hour conversation with DHH, a legendary programmer, creator of Ruby on Rails, author, and race car driver.

Here's my conversation with Jeff Kaplan, a legendary Blizzard game designer of World of Warcraft and Overwatch, which are two of the biggest, most influential games ever made. Jeff is one of the most genuine & awesome human beings I've ever met: kind, thoughtful, hilarious, and still & forever a gamer through and through. This was a truly fun & inspiring conversation. We talk about it all: the lows, the highs, the memes, the details of the game design process, and the new game he's been secretely working on: The Legend of California. I got a chance to play the game with Jeff, and it's incredibly beautiful (and fun). You can wishlist it on Steam now. I can't wait to play it with all of you!

Here's my conversation with Roman Yampolskiy (Dr. Roman Yampolskiy), AI safety researcher who believes that the chance of AGI eventually destroying human civilization is 99.9999%.

Here's my conversation with Terence Tao, one of the greatest mathematicians in history. We talk about the hardest problems in mathematics & physics, and how AI might help us humans to solve them. This conversation was a huge honor for me. I can't quite put it into words, but once again I'm grateful for whatever simulation code resulted in me having the life I do 🙏 To further confirm simulation, podcast length accidentally turned out to be 3:14 (pi=3.141592).
