-: Now we're gonna dive into Runway.
And Runway is an entire world.
There is so much that you can do in Runway.
For now,
we are going to focus on the AI video components of Runway,
but if there's interest, let us know in the Q&A,
and we can dive in and expand this section
to include more of Runway's amazing features.
So let's dive into Runway. This is the homepage for Runway.
So we have a search bar up here
which can search everything that is in Runway,
from your tools, assets, and projects,
the Home button, Watch.
We have this Videos tab where you can generate videos,
edit videos, and then edit the audio and subtitles.
We have this Image tab, where you can generate images,
and edit images and more,
which is where your projects, assets and AI training is.
So Runway does a lot of different things.
The thing that we find most exciting about is the AI video.
Similar to generative images such as MidJourney or DALL-E.
This is generative video,
which is just a whole another level.
There's this AI training,
which you can use Runway to create text to image,
and you can do the generative image thing here on Runway.
We find the images are pretty good,
but I still prefer MidJourney.
If you click this View All Tools,
you'll view what they call their AI Magic Tools,
and there are about 30 of them.
You can do everything from remove the background of an image
to generating your own image, to frame interpolation.
So if you click on this Train Your Own Generator,
you'll see this menu pop up.
And what this means is if you were to upload pictures
of yourself or your dog or whatever you want,
you will train this AI to come up with pictures of you.
Therefore, you would be able to say,
"Let's have Benza as an astronaut on the moon."
And if I trained the AI on enough images of myself,
it would then have pictures of me in the images,
which is very exciting.
And that is just one of the 30 amazing tools
that you can do here in Runway.
What we are most excited about is Gen-One and Gen-Two,
which is AI video generative art.
If you go back to the Home tab,
you can see little clips that other people have made.
This is a community showcase here
where you can see the prompts at the bottom
and the different videos that were created.
If you find one that you like, you can click on it,
see the prompt, and make a version for yourself.
If you wanna make a video using Gen-One,
which is video to video, you will click here,
and then upload your initial video
and then upload either a image or a text prompt
that you want to turn that video into.
If you wanna use Gen-Two, you can start with image or text,
or do a combination of the two here.
So once you've created some videos with Gen-One or Gen-Two,
or any assets at all, you can click on this Assets folder.
And here you'll see every single asset
that you've created using Runway,
or anything that you've uploaded to Runway,
because since it is a video editing software
that's run online,
you can upload your own images, videos, and audio.
So all of your what's called assets
will live here in this Assets folder.
You can also click here for Projects.
You can create a new project,
or go dive into any projects
that you've created here on Runway.
Once you're in the project view.
If you're at all familiar with video editing,
you'll see a somewhat familiar looking layout here,
where you can have a series of audio files
that live here on this timeline
and a series of video files that live here.
And similar to other video editing softwares,
whatever video file is on the uppermost layer
will cover any video files on a bottom layer.
Audio does not work that way.
You will hear things simultaneously if they are overlapping.
If you upload a video clip that has sound in the video clip,
you'll have to right click here and go to Audio,
and you can click Mute Audio
if you do not want to hear that audio.
So here is a place where you can drag new assets
to your project.
If you have a video or audio file or any kind of media
that you would like to add to your video,
you simply drag it over here to this Assets area
and it will start uploading your asset.
And then once it's uploaded, it'll appear here,
and you can drag it down into your timeline.
If you wanna add text, you can click here,
and it'll create a little text bar.
You have different templates available,
and you can affect the speed here.
And if you want to cut your clip,
you select the clip that you want, drag over the region,
and you click here, Split, which will split the clip in two,
and then you can drag them wherever you want.
If you want to lengthen or shorten a clip,
you just click here near the end,
and you can drag it forward or backward or the beginning,
drag it forward or backward,
which will make the clip shorter or longer.
You can click here to animate
and you can what's called key frame in other softwares,
automate the position, scale, rotation,
opacity, volume, or crop of your clip.
Click there to go back to the timeline.
And then if you click on a clip,
this menu over here will populate with different things
that you can manipulate, customize, and change,
including the speed of your clip,
which you simply drag this faster or slower
to change the speed of your clip.
You have AI, super slow motion, which you could click there,
the alignment, rotation, size, you can change and position.
Scroll down to crop,
and then you can dive into some more advanced features
with these AI Magic Tools, effects and filters,
motion effects, and finally, export your clip,
or export your entire project up here.
I'm so excited to dive into generative video here in Runway,
and I will catch you in the next lesson.
