• Runway introduces Gen-4ย – Generate consistent elements by controlling input elements

    https://runwayml.com/research/introducing-runway-gen-4

    With Gen-4, you are now able to precisely generate consistent characters, locations and objects across scenes. Simply set your look and feel and the model will maintain coherent world environments while preserving the distinctive style, mood and cinematographic elements of each frame. Then, regenerate those elements from multiple perspectives and positions within your scenes.
