You can now turn still images into AI videos with Runway Gen-3 Alpha

Users can now upload imagery and/or continue to enter text prompts to guide new AI video generations that are 5 or 10 seconds in length.

As Runway posted in its tweet: “Image to Video is major update that greatly improves the artistic control and consistency of your generations.” Runway’s co-founder and CEO Cristóbal Valenzuela introduced the new feature on his own personal account on X with the simple phrase “it’s time” followed by a post of his own image-to-video creation. Runway is, after all, among several AI companies currently being sued in class action lawsuits by creators who allege that the general practice of AI companies scraping and training on publicly posted material — including copyrighted material — without express permission, authorization, compensation, or consent is a violation of copyright law.
