22. Runway Text to Video
Runway.Ml’s much-hyped text-to-video generator is the best version you can get, but that’s more indicative of how far these generators need to go to create anything anywhere near as capable as most other AI image generators.
Most videos include a simple pan or dolly shot while the subjects on screen amble about or stare off into the distance. The picture quality is very similar to Runway’s text-to-image generator (which is the precursor to Stable Diffusion if you think the video above looks similar to different slides).
The benefit of Runway’s model is you can make the video go for more than 10 seconds, whereas the other models are far more restricted. Users receive just over 100 seconds of video generation before the company asks them to sign up for one of the company’s paid subscriptions.
While Runway produces a much bigger quality video than the other two models can, it’s not anything more than a cute gimmick. Simply put, text-to-video is cool and fun, but it has a long way to go.
