AI Text-To-Video - New Release 🛠
Runway has just launched its second-gen text-to-video model, and you can try it here for free today. Careful! Runway only provides free users with 20 generations, so to get you started, we've curated some tips for an effective first prompt:
Specify your camera shot – close-ups, dolly shots, wide-angle shots all deliver different visuals.
Less is more – Detailed, convoluted prompts seemed to result in lesser quality videos.
Stay clear of Midjourney logic – text-to-video prompts require a simpler approach.
Prompt template:
[film shot eg. wide shot, close up shot] of a [subject], [describing element], [style inspiration]
These are some of the text-to-video creations I’ve made since the public release:
