Runway COOKED for GEN-4! Ultimate Deep Dive & Review!

Today, we're diving deep into RunwayML's Gen 4, the latest update to their AI video generation model. Runway claims that Gen 4 boasts improved fidelity and output quality. More importantly, Gen 4 introduces better consistency in character, location, and color grading.   While the highly anticipated reference feature isn't available at launch, there's still plenty to explore. I'm putting Gen 4 through its paces with a series of tests, checking out community outputs, and sharing some best practices.   We'll take a look at everything from image to video generation, character consistency, and even some fun experiments with text and effects I’ll also be comparing Gen 4 to previous Runway versions like Gen 3 and Gen 2.   Runway's Gen 4 is a significant step forward, and I'm excited to share my findings with you. There are still more updates on the way. So, buckle up, and let's jump into the world of Gen 4!   RunwayML: https://runwayml.com/ Runway's Frames Video: https://youtu.be/7jwSNb4qq_E 00:00 - Intro to Runway Gen 4 00:29 - Gen 4 Overview and Key Features 01:17 - Gen 4 at Launch 01:48 - Frames to Video (Man In the Blue Suit) 01:59 - First Video Test 02:24 - Frames Image Generation 02:44 - London Test 02:58 - Gen 4 vs. Gen 3 vs. Gen 2 04:02 - Gen-4 Text (Woman in the Red Dress) 05:13 - Impressive Wide Angle Shot 05:48 - Gen 4 Wonk 06:29 - Expand Feature With Gen-4 07:00 - Fight Sequences (Raging Bull) 07:32- Noir Test & What Reference Might REALLY Be 08:15 - Noir Test 2 08:42 - How Powerful Will Reference Be? 09:55 - Image to Video 10:29 - No Prompt with Image To Video Test 11:07 - Working with Multiple Faces 12:13 - Grandma with a Flamethrower 12:21 Style Consistency with Image to Video 12:52 - Cyberpunk Woman 13:55 - Gen-4 To Restylize 13:59 - Community Outputs Showcase 15:58 - Final Thoughts on Gen 4
