Running some tests comparing Runway #Gen2 and #Pika with minimal movement direction. Seems like Gen-2 is better atm for resolution, details, movement, and realism. Not sure why Runway decided to create an extra random scene in that second shot. 🤣 #midjourney #pika #runway #AI

Is Runway Gen-4 finally better than Veo? 🎬💥 We tested the brand-new Gen-4 alongside Kling, Luma, Pika, and Veo2, animating the exact same Midjourney action shot. Spoiler alert: Gen-4 crushed it, delivering stronger action and more dynamic motion than Veo! Definitely excited to explore it further. Have you tried Runway Gen-4 yet?

How has Gen-2’s marriage with #midjourney advanced the fundamentals of AI cinema? Things like consistent characters and locations? Changing shot length, sizes, angles & emotions? Everything you see and hear in this test is AI generated. Sound on and stay to the end 👀 Runway

🎬Midjourney + Runway + Hailuo AI + Udio: "Winter's Call" (AI music video) It felt amazing to get the opening shot, and both the cat and the owl look very natural, thanks to Hailuo AI. I used Gen-3 Alpha and Alpha Turbo to get some of the precise, rotating shots. It's great to enrich interior design with more elements, and I feel like we're reaching a point where we'll be able to accomplish even more in the future with AI 🩶 Images: Midjourney v 6.1 Video: Gen-3 Alpha by Runway and Hailuo AI Music: Udio v 1.5 Editing: CapCut

Video Model Comparison: Image to video I updated an older comparison with a new image and prompt to test in several models: • Pika 2.2 • PixVerse 4 • Runway Gen-4 • Google Veo 3 • OpenAI Sora • Kling 2.1 Pro • Luma Ray2 • Hailuo I2V I used the same prompt and Midjourney image in each model 2-3 times and chose my favorite results below:

Can AI bring animation to life like Pixar? ✨ We took this Pixar-style Midjourney image and ran it through all 6 of our favorite AI video tools (Kling, Runway Gen-3, Pika Labs, Skyreels, Minimax and Luma) to see which could create the most magical motion. The clear champion? Pika Labs absolutely knocked it out of the park! The animation quality is jaw-dropping - seriously giving Pixar vibes with how smoothly it captured the character's wonder and the glowing flowers around her. Which animated AI videos have impressed you the most lately?

How about an AI opera? 🎭 With a little fun twist, of course. This is my “Sonata in AI Major.” Pushing lip sync to the limit with opera singers! I used Act2 by Runway , Pika lip sync, Higgsfield AI 🧩 AI upscale (Topaz) and @SunoMusic

“Thank You For Not Answering” short film written by me and “co-directed” with Runway #gen2. Made from images+text 2 video. While it’s not quite reality, it presents us with an entirely new aesthetic. There is beauty in the imperfections. #aiart #AI #aivideo #filmmaking

Frames + Midjourney → RUNWAY GEN-4. Big update...much improved. PROMPT STRUCTURE: [shot type], [subject + action + motion + direction] [env]. [Camera motion], [env description], [lighting], [mood/emotion]. PROMPT EX: A fast action tracking shot of a young man skateboarding towards us down a dusty desert road. The camera pulls out on him as he weaves on his skateboard casually. Behind him, a colossal fiery mushroom cloud expands into the sky and towards us, growing methodically larger. The lighting is natural and cinematic, with warm tones from the blast contrasting against the cool shadows of the dunes. The handheld camera movement adds rawness and tension to the scene. #midjourney #runway #promptshare

Lipdub is the best 3rd party lip-syncher out at the moment. The video below was generated with Runway Gen-3 Turbo from a ideogram image upscaled in Magnific and eleven labs voice changer. I was given some credits by LipDub AI to run some tests.

Sharing the scene I made for the t2remake way back in October, scene 29. Made with Runway Gen1 with midjourney generated prompts, faceswaping and pre Voice2voice AI. So much fun to make and a great community experience where I met some fantastic people. Big up Nem Perez and Sway Molina for making it happen. If you want to see it in 4k catch the next screening of the full film soon 👀

Keith Rabois: “I tell founders not to worry about runway. Worry about lift.” “If you think about lift in a plane context, a company is only valuable if you achieve lift. Runway is a tactic for achieving lift, and you may need to extend the runway so that you have more time to get lift. But unless you’re actually achieving lift with that extra time, it doesn’t help you.” Keith continues: “I hate when a founder is like, ‘I want to raise this much money because it gives me two years runway.’… That is a stupid way to think about your fundraising.” Instead, founders should ask themselves what they need to achieve to achieve lift, and then work backwards from that. When Keith invests at Khosla Ventures and Founders Fund, they write internal memos about the three key risks to the company. Usually you can’t achieve all three in one financing, so founders should be asking themselves, What’s the most important inflection? And then structure their financing to achieve that. Keith advises founders that it’s ok to let their runway go very low if they feel like they’re approaching lift: “A lot of founders get very bad advice like ‘Oh, you need to have this much runway or you won’t be able to raise money from strength.’ That’s nonsense. If you have traction - if you hit a viral coefficient of 1 with three months of runway - almost every VC on the planet knows how to invest in that company, and it will not be a problem.” Video source: Khosla Ventures (2024)

A tool test hackathon done over a weekend earlier this year culminated in this short film that ended up on the news last night! No matter what you think of AI video, the abundance of tools are making it easier than ever for creators to dream up, concept, test, and produce ideas, stories, and worlds than ever before. We've had a lot of interest from a few communities for a more thorough tutorial but in the meantime the tools we used were: Lumalabs Dream Machine Runway Gen 2 and Gen 3 Pika Stable Diffusion Dough (shout out our friends Banodoco) Udio Midjourney Blender Have fun experimenting!

I tried Runway Agent 2.0 expecting another AI video generator. What surprised me was that it felt more like a creative workflow than a generation tool. I started with a simple idea and described the video I wanted in plain language. Agent helped shape the concept, asked the right questions, mapped the direction, generated the video, added voiceover and music, and let me refine parts without rebuilding everything. It felt closer to working with a creative partner than writing prompts. One conversation turned into a finished, publish ready video.
