Runway Gen-1 Basics

Welcome to the world of Runway Gen-1! This revolutionary tool is now available to all Runway users. It transforms any video into a fully stylized and animated render. Let’s dive into how you can use Gen-1 effectively.

Getting Started with Runway Gen-1

First, head to the AI magic tools section and find Runway Gen-1.

You can either drag and drop a video from your desktop or use an existing one from your assets. Once you’ve selected your video, you’re ready to tweak the settings and references.

Transforming Your Video

Imagine turning a puppy into a lion.

That’s the power of Gen-1! You have three style reference options:

  1. Upload a Reference Image: Choose an image that matches your desired style.
  2. Use Available Presets: Options like claymation or sketch styles are available.
  3. Enter a Text Prompt: Describe your desired outcome, like “a lion in the jungle.”

For instance, using a lion image as a reference, you can easily adjust the style strength and even set a seed for generation.

Runway Gen-1 Advanced Settings

Runway Gen-1 offers a range of advanced settings. These include:

  • Structural Consistency: Determines how much the result matches your reference photo’s shape.
  • Weight: Controls how the output matches the reference in color, tone, and aesthetic.
  • Frame Consistency: Affects how closely the frames relate to each other visually.

Other settings allow you to upscale the output, remove the Gen-1 watermark, and choose whether to affect the foreground, background, or both. You may be also interested in How to Use Gen-1 from Runway to Create Visually Dynamic Scenes.
