I Spent $15 on Runway Gen-3 Alpha AI Videos: Worth It?

In this video, I walk through my first experience with Runway ML's new Gen-3 Alpha video generation model. I opted for the $15/month plan and show the process from a first-time user's perspective. I'll explore some prompts including generating a cool KZfaq intro and other creative ideas. Throughout, I discuss the effectiveness, share the results, and give my overall thoughts on whether this tool is worth the investment. Watch to see if these video generation capabilities are worth your time and money!

I still have some GEN-3 credits available! If you have some ideas for prompts of what you'd like to render just leave them within the comments below + up vote the ones you'd like to have me generate, i'll circle back in a couple days and generate the best ones :)

It would be nice if it would give you a low res preview so you can approve it before generating the full thing

I did this yesterday and also bought another $10 in credits. I used almost the same prompt for every video. I was trying to get a treehouse with the camera dollying back. I prompted 'treehouse' 3 times in most prompts yet only got one in about 1/5 of the gens. Also prompted low-angle camera and half of the gens were mid to bird's eye. Generally the videos are really good but what I'm seeing others say is that it's just not following prompts very well. I get that it's alpha but on the flip side, we are paying real money so it should be a little better in this regard. Gen 4 should be pretty amazing but I don't think 3 is quite there.

The biggest problem with Gen-3 right now is prompt following. It doesn't take directions well, which really counts when the prompt limit is 500 characters and there's no image to video modality. I spent all my Runway credits on Gen-3 videos this month and exactly none of them were usable! Cute toy, not worth it.

I have been working with Runway a lot. I'd like to see what you can do with consistency between scenes. Even using the same prompts and seed, not having good results myself.

@mysteroic595 18 күн бұрын

They released a plan with unlimited generations of Gen-1, Gen-2 and Gen-3 Alpha in Explore Mode at relaxed rate at 95$ per month, or $76 yearly. I feel it's the good plan if you want to experiment as much as you want.

@gu9838 Ай бұрын

a BIG warning to users. the credit system IS pricey. if you go by credits alone for gen3 you WILL end up spending a LOT to get what you really want. THE BEST POSSIBLE OPTION BY FAR is to get unlimited. its slower but you can make as many videos as you want and have all the time to fine tune it.

I'm considering the unlimited, any idea how long does it takes to generate 10s in relaxed mode? Also, how many times do you have to re-prompt to get a usable video (on average) Thanks :)

Whenever you try to generate a video, use short and concise prompts - it will result in a more random video, but at least is something that usually looks much better in comparison to when providing detailed prompts; I had the same problem using luma…and to be honest, I still find luma better…it could be just a personal opinion, but I hope that in the following months video generation will be much better

@DevelopersDigest Ай бұрын

Thanks for the tip - I haven't tried Luma. What do you like about Luma in particular?

@@DevelopersDigest here is a video that I uploaded kzfaq.info8ydVfNvGEWU?si=WHH_GBuw73SwhxoT where I point out explicitly what was used in order to generate the videos: prompt or image; it still does some crazy morphing and the hands usually look extremely weird, but hey - when you think what we had at our disposal 1 year ago, and what we have now - is a great advancement in this field

@HorriblySound 24 күн бұрын

Thank you for this video. I think for the amount, there is not enough for credits for generation, especially if the tool isn't giving you what you want. I'm assuming that if you click generate and it doesn't give you what you want, then it still takes you credits? Or is it that once you accept and download you're charged the credits?

It depends if these systems don’t only get better with high quality video output, but if they will be actually able to closely adhere to prompts, especially to those that require details and uncommon motives. Cause right now I only see a production of vague, fairly unrealizable, yet better looking generic content that might or might not be somewhat close to what was described to the system

@eyalster 24 күн бұрын

When are they going to open up the image to video feature? without image to video its kind of useless.... you can let the model create all sort of beautiful stuff, but it's not what you NEED. if I could take a photo and bring it to life, that's make it a tool. Luma can make that, but the rendering times there are INSANE.... could reach 14 hours for a 30 sec video

It's too expensive and the quality is hit or miss. When it hits, it's magical, but the misses are always so disappointing (like, it'll just have ignored parts of what i told it). If Runway can make it cheaper, then I'm fine to keep plugging away hoping to get a happy accident. Until then, its overpriced.
