And so it begins

Your explanation of adjusting settings such as interpolate and upscale was incredibly helpful in helping me grasp how to achieve optimal results.

Thanks man. Had no idea that turning off interpolate and upscale made such a big difference. Currently re-rendering all my shots with this format

DUDE😮 Immediate subscribe. Such valuable content, so clearly presented-and loving your non-lazy use of adjectives ! 😃 Thanks! 🙏🏼

"This is not about replacing you, it's about elevating you..." Unless you are an actor, set designer, set manufacturer, prop director, motorcycle manufacturer, costume creator, lighting engineer, gaffer, stage manager, makeup artist, boom operator, etc. 😂

Thank you, this looks simpler than the workflow I was attempting.

Thank you for making the point about "not replacing but elevating." Embrace the tech folks, embrace the tech! ❤

Your attention to detail for explanations is much appreciated for beginners like me.

You guys are the best! Thank you for this great content Caleb!

It's crazy to see how far we have come. Looking forward to see the next steps!

Some of the outputs I have seen have a dreamlike quality to them. I feel like there could be a style choice to use the footage as is for some situations.

what a time to be alive

I am taking his course and its ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!! 😍😍🥰

Thank you very much for this class, hugs from Brazil.

I remember struggling with the first non-linear editing software, way, way back when I was doing my Masters in Film. In the end we had to give up because it crashed so much! After having a long, long break from ambitious filmmaking, I love that you make this look so easy. I'm excited to start playing with AI!!

Just wanted to thank you all for these tips. It made creating my first "Movie trailer" a smoother experience 💙

Woo,this really burst my head when I saw it

Wow! This is insane. Really interesting stuff, great walkthrough 👏

Great pace, really good teacher.

A great cinematic peace, love to see a fellow ai video creator work magic

Great job. Very professional presentation

Thanks a lot, very helpful with the settings!

Currently writing a paper on AI, your video was super helpful in breaking down things, and I like your take as well. Thank you.

It's incredible! Imagine how games will have graphics like this in a few years, generating everything in real time.

stumbled across this and must say THANK YOU!...this will unbottle a couple of ideas...#sub

Thanks for the good sideinformations!

This video deserves more attention, all the best insh'Allah (very modest by the way 👊👊👊)

Next class I intend to be in, for this is the future of things to come

That was awesom - thanks.

ive been playing with runway, blasted through about 500 seconds worth of credits. I wasnt using photorealistic images of people, but there was about 50 or 60% of the videos rendered had really poor results. a lot of collapsing into nothing, or stretching. I've also had some awesome results too. Point is, its a bit of a gamble so if you dont have money to blow on attempts and brainstorming pick your images carefully.

Have you tried processing the video with Runway's super-slow-motion plugin and then speed it up in your video editor? I found that it helps with the choppiness as well (though not with the upscaling) and might be an initial solution for those who just want to play around a bit and get slightly better results than the raw image-to-video output - without paying an extra 300 for Topaz. But yeah, for professional purposes, your process certainly is the way to go.

I like your attitude. Subscribed.

I'll check back in 4-5 years.

that's brilliant, man

This is incredible

Thank you for sharing!

It’s freaking awesome! When movie!

good use of the tool. How did you keep is from warping the image, and do you have to pay for a sub to get more than 4 seconds?

I love and am grateful you made this video, cheers for this. I do have 1 question... how necessary would you say the Topaz Video Ai is to creating great cinematic videos? You are correct after checking it is a little pricey for me at the moment. Are there any alternatives you'd recommend? and if not, do you implement the Topaz software in your course? Again, LOVE your channel. Can't wait to see more.

10:13 for a quick story board/prototype to get the idea across its pretty good

Awesome video, very informative

This was very helpful

Not long before we see a whole movie.

Awesome!!!! Thanks.

This was exactly the video I was looking for. Thank you so much for making and uploading. Great presentation. Oftentimes I tend to skim over or skip parts because the presentation of the workflow is boring. I did not do so with your video. You've gained a subscriber. Well done, friend.

As someone who wants to get into filmmaking but not invest the time or money on equipment and actually shooting and post-production, this is a godsend. Thanks for all you do!

Thank you for all of the information/explanation.

Thanks for the video

I've been using Runway for the past month or two now. Loving what I am capable of doing with it but do you happen to have any info on Image + Description? Some shots I get that come out super good and others just poop. Which sucks because as mentioned these renders are not free. I probably spend roughly $20-$30 per video I've done (which honestly is super cheap when you think about it) but yeah I've been having some issues on my recent project that I'm currently working on and with Runway short film contest coming up this weekend, I figured id dive in and see what other users out there could potential provide some helpful insight. if you have any food for thought please feel free to respond. That all said great video breakdown and I hope more is to come! Cheers

Thank you

Actually blown away wow

this is amazing

Easy to follow, cuts to the chase - /thank you!

Max quality is the goal, and kudos if you have figured it out, because hours of work using it has looked like garbage, despite the super high quality of the starting images.

One day we will look back and say "wow remember when you could only generate 4 seconds of AI generated frames?!" in the same way we look back at a main external storage device held 2.8 MB of data!

Great sharing.❤

it' incredible !

"It's not about replacing you, it's about elevating you as a creative". Well said

How did you make those several photos in Midjourney using the same theme and palette?

Great video question since I’m a UE5 user if anyone render out a video from unreal can I use the AI for a better quality render instead of using path tracing? Please do a tutorial.

excellent tutorial by christoph waltz

Thanks for all 💎👍👍👍🔔💓

Uau you're going very good 👍 Thanks, obrigado and shukran شكراً

Great stuff to be honest 😊

i wish not interpolating in the gen 2 generation reduced the compute costs. currently I think it costs you the same whether you interpolate or not, which can't be right. anyway, great vid.

Thanks for this! Is the process the same now with the new version or do you also have a recent video?

You are like a young Christoph Waltz, my AI generated friend!

excellent video

Anyone have any advice on what prompts are best for making a character look as if they're speaking> I've tried just about everything I can think of to no avail.

This is why actors are striking lol

I would use some film grain and little color grading...nice

does the free version of Topaz suck for you as well? I tried it and it was so slow and actually froze my computer. First time I think that's ever happened.

Thank you for your video. I am just getting into this. Why do you suggest not adding a description to your image, i.e telling the AI in runway what you want it to do? How do i give it somewhat specific commands/suggestions to an existing image?

Is it best to upload a photo with a solid background, even green screen?

Great video. How much an improvement do you see? It is hard to tell without a side-by-side comparison. It would do good to do a side-by-side comparison of upscaling using Topaz and upscaling being done by Gen-2. Topaz Video AI is $300, so not a trivial cost unless one plans on doing a lot of video processing.

Thank you 10/10

The future is whatever you make it

How do you get consistent source frames for each shot?

Thanks so much! It’s so hard fighting with the blackbox that runway is…. Can’t even comprehend how I didn’t start with all basic settings turned off..

I tried it and it wasn't so good, but I'll try it again next year 🙂I imagine it will get a lot better with time.

Good content.

Great video, and great content. Only realised yesterday that I should be skipping the interpolate and upscale option in Runway, (*if using Topaz AI).

I love the comment of “elevating you as a creative” don’t get me wrong, I’m not anti AI, I wouldn’t be here if I was. But the idea that a process like this somehow elevates you as a creative, it’s just doesn’t. That’s just trying to justify somehow what’s actually happening here. As I say, I am not anti AI, I use it in a lot of my own work flows now, it’s why I’m here. But I think people would be arguing (a little ) less if we were a little more honest about what’s happening and what it all means. How is this not replacing people? Of course it is, but we should be focusing on how this helps people who would never have been able to create something close to his, now realise their own ideas. Especially in smaller personal projects. Rather than trying to pretend this doesn’t some how replace all the people it would have taken to produce footage like this a year or so ago. That’s what gets people’s backs up, and rightly so to be honest… (we’ll that and the fact that the creative industries are about to change dramatically and creatives, already under paid, are worried about it… and rightly so. But times change, as they always have, so it was only a matter of time. Anyway that’s another debate for another day… ;) Still an incredibly impressive thing, and the footage looks great.

Thanks! Do you know if there is a way to have for example a 30 second video and then put on tip of the video an IA skin? Im doing a CiFi movie and im trying to do the outside world look futuristic but i want to use real city footage and only put like a “skin” on it. Thank u very much

imagine this in about 10 more years...crazy

Do you know how can i find all the generated videos and images that i've done with Runway? i only can found the ones that i downloaded

Great video. I am wondering how to make a video for instagram reels. I cant find the settings to do this...

So without a text prompt Gen 2 still changes my initial image into a totally different one. How to I have it actually animate what I put in vs using it as solely a prompt?

Whats your experience with the seed?

Waiting for the Gen 3. 😏😏😏😏😏😏😄😄😄😄😄

Can I actually write a script, and make an animated video with dialogues using this? Or combination of other AI tools???

would you recommend this for architecture? my firm has been using midjourney to help clients visualize features color schemes and styles early on. I'm trying now to get an understanding if Gen-2 is smart enough to do partial rotations. Where Midjourney is unable to think in 3D, where we can't pivot and rotate, this seems to have some sense of corners. Tell me more!

maravillosoes el futuro

wow

In the end, the key is how to make the story interesting. But "runway gen2" is the best tool.

How can i make a consistent character in runway for example i am putting together a movie about a person, how can i use the same character for different role or scene

Can you animate public domain images? I’d like to see some examples of animations created from photos of landscapes, water, skies, fog, wind, different weather conditions, fires, avalanches, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, etc. I’d also like to see animations of cooking/food photos.

What speed did you run it at?

it's a pretty nice and educational video, but are there any AI tools that we can use for free or that you can recommend as alternative to these tools? thank you

OH MY GOD
