Introduction to AI Video Generation
AI video tools have revolutionized content creation. Runway ML is one of the leading platforms, offering text-to-video generation, video editing, and special effects powered by AI. This tutorial will get you started with creating professional videos.
Getting Started with Runway ML
Create an account at runway.ml and explore the dashboard. Runway offers various AI-powered tools including Gen-2 for text-to-video, image-to-video conversion, background removal, and motion tracking. The free tier includes limited generation credits.
Text to Video Generation
Runway Gen-2 can create short video clips from text descriptions. Describe the scene you want: “A timelapse of a city skyline transitioning from day to night, cinematic quality.” Be specific about camera movement, lighting, and style for best results.
Image to Video
Upload a static image and animate it with AI. This is great for bringing illustrations, photos, and AI-generated art to life. Specify the type of motion you want: camera pan, zoom, or subject movement.
AI Video Editing Tools
Runway also provides AI-powered editing tools: remove backgrounds in real-time, apply style transfer to entire videos, enhance resolution, and add effects. These tools save hours of manual editing work.
