Gen-3 Alpha Now Transforms Still Images Into AI-Generated Videos

Still image converted to video using Gen-3 Alpha

Runway has made a significant advancement in its generative AI video platform with the introduction of the Gen-3 Alpha model, now allowing users to create videos from still images. This new feature enhances the creative possibilities for filmmakers and content creators.

Details:

  • Users can now upload still images as prompts to generate 5 or 10-second videos, enhancing artistic control and consistency.

  • A 10-second video costs 40 credits, while a 5-second version costs 20 credits.

  • Early tests show image-to-video generation takes less than a minute to produce high-quality results.

  • Runway's automatic detection systems prevent generating videos with explicit content or images of well-known figures, ensuring responsible use.

Runway's new feature represents a substantial leap in the capabilities of generative AI, opening new avenues for creative expression while navigating the complexities of copyright and legal challenges in the industry.
