A Closer Look at Video Generation
RunwayML comes with three standout video generation tools:
Gen1: Video to Video Feature
Firstly, RunwayML allows the transformation of any video into a different one entirely. The process is straightforward; you select a preset and the style of the video that you prefer, and the application subsequently outputs your video in the specified styles.
Additionally, you have the option to add reference image or describe the style of the images you want. Check out our recent articles on how to use Gen1 effectively!
Gen2: Text to Video Feature
The second key capability is the ‘Text to Video’ feature. With this tool, you simply describe your desired video in text form, and the application generates a result accordingly. This gives you the power to specify exactly how you’d like your video to be edited or modified.
Gen2 : Image to Video Feature (New and Best one!)
The third notable feature is the ‘Image to Video’ tool. This tool allows you to use a specific image as a starting point of a video instead of as references.
Note that if you add text, it is recognized as Text to Video feature. It’s worth noting that this might lessen some consistency or not strictly adhere to the starting point images’ aesthetics.
