AI VIDEO TOOLS

Runway is one of the most versatile and user-friendly AI platforms, making it a favorite for creatives looking to push the boundaries of video editing. With its ability to tackle common challenges like morphing and distortion, Runway streamlines the process of creating dynamic and visually stunning videos. 

Here's a detailed walkthrough to help you get started:

• AI-Powered Precision: Overcome common AI video issues like distortion and awkward transitions.
• Effortless Video Expansion: Extend your videos seamlessly with intelligent camera directions and character prompts.
• Advanced Video Tools: Easily convert video styles or adjust aspect ratios without losing quality.

1. Visit the Platform: Head over to Runway.
2. Explore the Tools: Browse through the catalog of tools, including the recently renamed Generative Session.

• Prompt: Use text prompts to guide camera or character actions alongside your uploaded images.
• Camera: Manually adjust movements like zoom, pan, tilt, and roll for your uploaded image or video. Preview changes in real-time.
• Act One: Transform a video into a new style, like converting a recorded scene on webcam  into animation or swapping characters and voices. (A dedicated lecture in our course will cover this in detail.)
• Expand Video: Change aspect ratios seamlessly. For example, convert a 16:9 video into 9:16 by generating additional content, avoiding traditional cropping or zooming methods.

1. Choose Your Tool: Select Prompt or Camera for this guide.
2. Upload an Image: Add your starting image (you will have the option to set your start and end image enabling you to dictate the start and end images the AI model must use). 
3. Optional Prompt: Add a text prompt to describe movements or actions.
   • Tip: Begin with no prompt to see the AI’s inspiration, then refine it.

Focus on movement rather than image content. For example:

• Input Example: A character posing with a peace sign.
• Prompt Example: Subject cheerfully poses, her hands forming a peace sign.

1. Seamless Transitions
   
   • Continuous hyperspeed FPV footage: The camera flies through a glacial canyon to a dreamy cloudscape.

1. Camera Movements
   
   • A glowing ocean at night teeming with bioluminescent creatures. The camera starts with a macro close-up of a jellyfish, then zooms out to reveal the entire ocean lit up under a starry sky.

1. Text Title Cards
   
   • Dynamic title screen: The scene starts on a colorful paint-covered wall. Black paint pours over it, forming the word "Runway." The dripping paint appears detailed with cinematic lighting.

1. Keyword Tips
   Use specific keywords for clarity:
   
   • Example: For close-ups, include details like texture and lighting. For wide-angle shots, emphasize environment and atmosphere.

For more prompt inspiration, check out Runway’s Gen-3 Alpha Prompting Guide.

1. Set the Aspect Ratio: Choose from standard options like 16:9 or 9:16 and more.
2. Duration: Choose 5 or 10 seconds (extendable post-generation).
3. Select Model: Use the latest model (e.g., Turbo) for optimal speed and quality (located at the very top of the page).
4. Generate Video: Click Generate to create your first iteration.

After generation, explore the following tools (click the drop down arrow at the bottom left of the generation):

• Regenerate: Reuse settings for a new draft.
• Extend: Add 8 seconds with optional prompting.
• Lip Sync: Upload audio to sync with your video.
• Video to Video: Use the output as input for further transformations in Runways video>video tool.
• Edit Time: Trim the video to your desired length.
• Expand Video: Adjust aspect ratios as needed.
• Download: Save your video for use.

• Fine-tune the following:
  • Horizontal (Pan), Vertical (Tilt), Zoom, Roll.
• Preview adjustments in real-time with your image or video.

• Record Yourself: Use your webcam to animate movement and expressions.
• Select a Character: Choose a pre-existing character or upload your own.
• Generate: Transform your recording into a dynamic video.

Not available to the public yet - we'll update the course and this page when it is!

Note: Veo 3 can be accessed through various platforms and third-party tools, but for the most direct and integrated experience, Google Flow (from Google Labs) is the best option. It provides access to all the latest features in a clean, organized layout—perfect for both beginners and pros.

1. Go to Google Labs > Flow.
    
2. Click “+ New Project” to begin.
    
3. You’ll now see the Flow interface.
    

At the bottom of the screen is your Prompt Box—think of it as your control center.
This is where you’ll type your video prompts.

On the left-hand dropdown, choose from:

• Text to Video
   
• Frames to Video
   
• Ingredients to Video
   

Each one works slightly differently—here’s how to use them:

This is the most common way to use Veo 3: type a detailed prompt and generate a video.

Use this structure for the best results with Veo 3:

Prompt Template (fill in with rich detail):

• Scene Description: What’s happening? Is it cinematic, documentary-style, or surreal?
   
• Characters: Who is in the scene? Age, gender, race, clothing, emotion, body language.
   
• Setting: Location (be specific), time of day, time of year, indoor/outdoor, weather.
   
• Style: Realistic, animated, vintage film, handheld, drone shot, etc.
   
• Sound/Music: Mention if there should be background music, voiceover, natural sound.
   
• Dialogue (optional): Add exact speech and specify delivery tone (e.g., whisper, scream).
   
• Camera Details: Wide shot, close-up, slow pan, zoom in, etc.
   
• Mood/Tone: Romantic, tense, eerie, exciting, peaceful…
   

💡 Example:
"A young girl in 1960s Nashville walks into a dusty record store at sunset. She's wearing a yellow dress and holding a notebook. The air is warm, and music plays softly from a jukebox in the corner. Shot in vintage 16mm style with soft lighting and grain. She says, 'This is where it all begins.' Camera pans slowly toward her face."
 

This works like Image-to-Video in other AI tools. Upload a starting image or an image to match the final frame.

• Upload an image to start your video.
   
• Choose if the image should be a starting point, ending point, or both.
   
• Then write your prompt (as above) to animate the scene around your frame.
   

⚠️ Note: As mentioned in the course, some versions (Veo 2 vs Veo 3) may limit how frames work—check the latest lesson updates for compatibility and usage tips.
 

Think of this as your way to build a scene with custom elements.

You can:

• Add a person with a specific look or outfit
   
• Include a product or branded item
   
• Place objects into the scene (like “a red vintage typewriter on a desk”)
   

💡 Great for ads, product demos, or specific storytelling moments.
 

After choosing “Ingredients to Video,” simply add your elements, then write your scene prompt as usual.

Click the Settings icon (top-right):

• Choose between Veo 2 or Veo 3
   
• Also choose Fast or Quality mode
   

(We go over this in the course in more detail, including side-by-side comparisons of Veo 2 vs Veo 3, quality vs speed, and cost differences.)
 

Google may update Flow’s layout or features frequently—and may even show different versions in different locations.
If you notice a major change, check back in the course—I’ll always upload a new tutorial video when something important changes.
