RUNWAY: NEW VIDEO-TO-VIDEO FEATURE

Runway just released their NEW vid-2-vid feature (and it’s cool).

You input a video as a reference…and generate around it.

This is similar to an Animated DiFF. (Very useful)

IF YOU MISSED IT → HERE’S THE FULL BREAKDOWN.

VIDEO-2-VIDEO:

The original Runway model was V2V…and it was just ok. (Now it’s much improved) This allows for a new level of creativity…and the use cases will pile up.

• The video above…I tested “style transfer” → Worked really well.

• The video below…I tested “environment transfer” → Also worked really well.

PROCESS:

1. Open Runway Gen-3

2. Select “Video-to-Video”

3. Upload a video.

4. Add a text prompt

5. Generate + Iterate.

Here’s the FULL VIDEO.

MIDJOURNEY PROMPT: editorial photo, front view closeup, orange hiking boots walking towards us on a dirt path in the alpine forrest, late November setting, wet leaves and bare trees, high contrast photography, contrasting colors, 35mm high precision photo --ar 16:9 --quality 2 --personalize [CODE] --stylize 200 --v 6.1

ORIGINAL VIDEO PROMPT: slow motion shot of orange boots walking towards us on a hiking trail in an alpine forest, dynamic natural motion 35mm style

VID-2-VID PROMPT STRUCTURE: slow motion shot of orange boots walking towards us on a hiking trail in an alpine forest during [fall/summer/spring/winter], dynamic natural motion 35mm style

QUICK THOUGHTS:

• This will be fun for video editors (lots to play with)

• Media buyers can have a field day (if they know what they’re doing)

Going to be running more tests with this shortly

Stay Tuned.

RUNWAY: TRAINING CUSTOM MODELS

So Runway has a whole suite of features.

And I took it for a ride to create some video ads.

IF YOU MISSED IT → HERE’S THE FULL POST.

RUNWAY CUSTOM MODELS:

Runway’s custom models are just like LORA models.

But training models can be hard and confusing…(so this is an easier option)

Will I use it a bunch?…no…(Is it useful?…yes)

(Just know it takes 1000 credits to train a model)

PROCESS:

1. Open Runway

2. Select “Try Custom Elements”

3. Select “Person, Object, or Style”

4. Upload 15-30 images

5. Train the Model.

6. Generate Images

7. Animate with Runway Gen-3.

BEYOND MIDJOURNEY: ADUNIVERSE CRAZY USE CASES

If you’re a media buyer or in the performance marketing space…

You’ll want to check out this tool.

My friend Chris Erthel launched ADUNIVERSE.AI on stage in Budapest (and it’s wild)

»CHECK IT OUT HERE«

WHAT IT IS:

• CHROME PLUGIN + BROWSER APP

• Similar to FOREPLAY.

• You can study the creative and AdSpend for a ton of brands.

• See over 62.000 Ads with over a million € AdSpend

• Browse through over 77 million scraped Ads with AdSpend

• And check their HIGHEST CONVERTING LANDING PAGES.

For example…I tracked “ATHLETIC GREENS (AG1)” below.

It pulled ad spend breakdown…top converting landers…and top keywords

It also pulls the top performing creative…and ranks it by AdSpend.

If you’re in this world…I can’t tell you how valuable this is.

WHY I’M USING IT:

• I need to make ads and creatives constantly.

• You seriously run out of ideas (all the time).

• Having a tool that shows the AdSpend tells me what’s working.

• And what brands with huge budgets are doing to win.

• I can either repurpose some elements or follow good formats.

• Not to mention using this data for Ai training purposes.

This just launched last week…so get after it.
