Welcome to Runway Academy! Today, we’re diving into the dynamic world of Gen 2‘s Multi-Motion Brush. This tool is a game-changer for creators looking to add life to their projects.
Step-by-Step Guide to Multi-Motion Brush
Starting Off: Begin by launching Gen 2. Here, you can input a text prompt or upload an existing image. Then, select the Motion Brush feature. You’ll find five unique brushes, each with its own control settings.
Brush Techniques: For our demonstration, I used Brush 1 to move clouds to the right.
Brush 2 was perfect for creating a counter movement in the ocean, adding depth and ambient motion – ideal for water effects.
Visualizing Brush Strokes: As you apply each brush, your strokes will appear on the canvas. Icons next to each brush show the direction of movement.
Adding Subtlety: Brush 3 added gentle motion to a palm tree and grass, simulating a light breeze. I used Brush 4 to lower the sun below the horizon, and Brush 5 for minimal ambient motion in the background trees.
Customization: It’s important to note that brush strokes can’t be merged. Overlapping strokes replace the previous one. Use the Eraser tool to remove strokes in a specific area. To tweak brush values, simply click on the corresponding icon.
Finishing Up: Once satisfied with the brush settings, click ‘save’ to finalize your work.
