Transforming Footage into Anything Using AI with Runway AI
In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore the incredible capabilities of Runway AI, a powerful software that enables users to transform footage into anything they can imagine. With its user-friendly interface and impressive features, Runway AI is revolutionizing the world of video editing and AI-generated content.
Using Runway AI
To get started with Runway AI, simply drag and drop any footage onto the Gen 1 video-to-video AI tool. Note that there's a 15-second limit for the AI, so if you're working with longer clips, you'll need to split them into 15-second segments. In our example, we're using footage of Drake and Lil Durk to demonstrate the software's capabilities.
Splitting Long Videos
If you have a long video that exceeds the 15-second limit, you'll need to split it up into 15-second segments. This means you'll need to process each segment separately, resulting in multiple 15-second clips. While this may seem tedious, the end result is well worth the effort.
Future Plans
As we continue to explore the capabilities of Runway AI, we're excited to create more tutorial content and share our experiences with the software. If you have any suggestions or ideas for future tutorials, please let us know in the comments below.

AI Video Generation: Exploring the Pro Version and its Features
The Pro version of Runway AI offers higher resolution export options and additional features compared to the free version. Let's dive deeper into the interface and explore the various tools and settings.
On the right-hand side of the interface, you'll find:
- Style references: A collection of styles and references to inspire your AI-generated videos.
- Image presets: Pre-set image styles that can be applied to your footage.
- Prompts: A powerful tool that allows you to type in a prompt and generate a video based on your input. The AI will create a video that matches your prompt.
We've also compiled a Notepad of Tried Prompts that you can use as a reference for your own projects.
In the Advanced Settings, you'll find:
- Structural Consistency: A setting that allows you to adjust the structure of the generated video. Higher settings result in a more varied video, while lower settings produce a closer match to the original video.
- Weight: A factor that determines how much the AI should focus on making the generated video similar to the original or the prompt.
- Frame Consistency: A feature that can be adjusted to affect the consistency of the generated video's frame structure.
By adjusting these settings, you can fine-tune the generated video to your personal preferences.
Stylizing Video with AI: Tips and Settings
Now that we've explored the Pro version's features, let's dive into some tips and settings for stylizing your video with AI.
- Frame similarity: Adjusting this setting controls how close each frame is to each other. A higher value results in a more cohesive AI effect, while a lower value allows for more variation and style morphing.
- Upscaling: Checking this option produces a higher-quality version, but takes longer to process.
- Watermark removal: Remove the watermark to ensure a professional-looking output.
- Foreground/background control: Use the "Effect foreground only" or "Effect background only" options to apply the AI style to specific parts of the video.
- Compare wipe: This feature allows you to wipe back and forth between the original and final versions of the video.
Once you've set your preferences, click "Generate video" and let the AI do its magic. Depending on the video length, this process may take some time. Be patient and experiment with different settings to achieve the desired look and feel.
Additional Tips for Cohesive AI Styling
- Experiment with different prompts to achieve the desired look and feel.
- Adjust the frame similarity setting to balance cohesion and variation in the AI effect.
- Consider using a mix of foreground and background effects to create a more dynamic output.
- Don't be afraid to try different settings and compare the results to achieve the desired aesthetic.
Video Editing Effect: Combining Layers and Adding Effects
To create a unique effect, combine two video layers and adjust their scale to achieve a sense of taking over the scene. Keyframe the opacity of the top layer from zero to 100 frames to create a fade-in effect. Repeat the keyframing process at the end of the video to create a fade-out effect.
Adding Noise to the Effect
Adding a bit of noise to the video can enhance the overall aesthetic and make it more engaging. Experiment with different noise levels and types to achieve the desired effect.
Customizing the Effect
The video demonstrates a basic effect, but you can experiment with different props, colors, and textures to make it your own. Use the tools and techniques shown in the video as a starting point and adjust them to fit your personal style.
