    My Runway Gen:48 submission. Every clip in this movie is with Runway Aleph. I used a single 5 second clip and used Runway Aleph to completely change the scene, character location and backgrounds. I wanted to see how far I could stretch it from a single entry point. https://t.…

    Weavy has added Runway Aleph to its workflow nodes. Here is a basic flow to go from a static image to a modified video. It combines Runway GEN-4 Turbo, Google Gemini and Aleph. This is such a great way to create and share workflows. https://t.co/2nsZhpxBzM

  • TJR @TJR_TEPPEN

    Created mainly with Runway Gen-4.5 and Gen-4.0, with occasional use of Character Render. I used Gen-4.0 for stronger consistency and Gen-4.5 to bring more dynamic motion to the scenes. In this piece I tried to capture the dynamics between the three characters while keeping a…

    I tried Runway Gen-3 Alpha Camera Control, and it's pretty sick. This is my first try, feels like the first time I used Midjourney. https://t.co/v9u2nN42eB

    No Way! 🤯 Character + Layout + Runway Gen-4 → turned into a cinematic shot with precision. Here’s the workflow I used: 01. Reference Character → for subject to stay consistent 02. Wireframe Layout → to define exactly where each object appears 03. Optional Style Image → to mat…

    1.5 years ago I made my first Music Video. I used #midjourney V5 and #Runway Gen 2. Things have changed since then (a little). I think it's time for a Redux... #BeforeTheFire #ManDown #JWIII https://t.co/tMHCG1WywL https://t.co/8nJRFG9HTp

    I used #Kling to re-make the video I made with #runway gen 2 in January this year. The original video was sped up 2 to 4 times, and the new video was sped up within 1.5 times. There are some differences in color. @Kling_ai @runwayml #aiart https://t.co/IQsXbWOcl2

    (Now with audio! turn on sound. very short video clip) I used @decohere_ai for the still image. I used @runwayml to animate it, then extend it from 4 to 8 seconds, then added slight effects in the engine exhaust using runway ml also. I used @capcutapp to add audio. I do not own…

    This a #trailer I made for my client ONLY using AI. I used #midjourney to generate cinematic image shots and gave it to #runway ML to make the image alive. Just by using text we can make movies with a laptop and an internet. Exciting times we are living! #AIfilm #aimovie https:/…

    Making this video about questionable encroaching changes to our food supply combined a few tools I've been using recently. The script for the video is an article I wrote because I think more people would benefit from knowing what's going on. But I didn't think many people would…

    🔴 ¡NUEVO RUNWAY ALEPH! Este nuevo modelo de Runway es una bestia muy interesante, trayendo la versatilidad de un modelo multitarea capaz de tomar un vídeo como input y manipularlo al gusto 🤯 Cambiar de escena, estilos, hacer inpaintings... WOW! https://t.co/4LGJmlHC1w

    Que este vídeo se haya grabado a la luz del día y simplemente se le haya pedido a Runway Aleph que apague las luces me parece una auténtica locura!

    Antes, crear variantes de un video significaba volver a grabar todo el coche. Runway Aleph 2.0 transformó exactamente esta misma toma con un solo prompt. Mismo movimiento de cámara. Mismo entorno. Misma composición cinematográfica. Solo cambió el coche. 👀 Prueba Aleph 2.0 en…

    Ok, pagué 100 dolares para tener Runway Aleph ilimitado por un mes y no estaría cumpliendo mis espectativas, no cumple con el requisito mínimo de mantener las caras que lo hacía "superior" al resto en casi ningún caso. ¿Sale video en YouTube explicando?

    Hack útil pra AI video no Runway Aleph 2.0: em vez de corrigir o vídeo inteiro no prompt, edite 1 frame-chave primeiro. Quando esse frame aprovado vira referência, a IA propaga a mudança só nas áreas certas do take. Na prática: menos retrabalho, menos drift e mais controle fi…
