Gen-3 Image To Video: Review & Shootout!

[@bviewdrive]

crazy times, every day there is a new advancement that shakes up any current workflow I have as a creator, but Gen3 IMG>Video is hitting all the right notes, for most stuff, very exciting time.

[@katlis]

And to think this is just in alpha. I bet within a year it will really start to scare people, especially if/when you can run it locally without limitations on the prompts.

[@CertifiedGrantWriter]

A solid year and we will have something that can actually feel like justice for the independent creative

[@LearnHowToEditStuff]

Great video as always Tim!

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

Appreciate it!! Caught your video last night as well! Fantastic job on it! LOVE the idea of using a Gen3 output as a backplate! Can't help but think of all the wild things that will open up once camera control and motion brush drop as well!

[@ZYTHI]

Wow, Gen-3 Image to Video is a total game-changer! I love how easily it generates videos from images, but I'm also a bit frustrated with the limitations - like the 16:9 aspect ratio and weird character movements. Still, it's amazing to see how far AI video generation has come. I'm excited to experiment with it and see what kind of creative projects I can make. Thanks for the review, Theoretically Media - you always keep me up-to-date on the latest tech

[@SouthernEleganceFilms]

Agreed! like you I was frustrated by the 16:9 limits at first, but it’s not so bad with their easy crop. I think we’re going to have problems with movement for a while…

[@EmilyNilsen]

Thanks for taking the time to make a Runway Gen-3 GPT! Getting the correct prompt counts a lot when it costs so many credits to generate a video!

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

Stoked to hear that it is helpful for you! I mean, as warned in the video, ChatGPT can get stupid from time to time-- and sometimes you'll need to modify the output prompt- but, always easier to rewrite than stare at that blinking cursor!

[@thequickstartcreative]

I like it, but at $15/mo for a dozen images doesn't work and I don't have a reason to create more. At this point, AI video will remain in the hobby category.

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

Totally understand. You might want to check out Kling, as I mentioned toward the end of the video, they do have a sale right now for $5/month. Easily the cheapest video generator around right now.

[@thequickstartcreative]

@@TheoreticallyMedia i will give it a try. I wasn't even interested in AI video until Gen3. It is fun watching the evolution.

[@SouthernEleganceFilms]

Second the OP: go with Kling, if you want Runway’s $15/ month plan, otherwise, you need the unlimited RunwayML at $95/ month I created a video with Runway and Udio after 20 hours of work, which is a 5 minute short film about 1984. Like the OP says, everything you’re seeing in most videos is cherry picked. It still takes an excruciatingly long time to get what you want

[@nextdimensionmedia3196]

I'm going to try your GPT today. I only have the standard plan on Runway and feel like it eats up credits for underwhelming generations. I've had much better luck with Luma so far when giving them the same prompts and images. I'm running out of money to sub to every tool so Kling is gonna have to wait. 🤣

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

Please do! Keep an eye on that GPT. There are times when it works really well, others when it gets REALLY stupid. I think we’re all at the whim of OpenAI’s electric bill that month. High suggestion to try Kling out (6 gens free a day) and run a comparison with your Luma videos. Both are really good. Just see which you like better.

Here’s my original prompt: The camera zooms out from the close-up of the cat to reveal her sitting regally on a plush, throne-like couch in a whimsical living room. The room is filled with playful toys, colorful pillows, and soft morning sunlight streaming through large windows, creating a cozy, enchanting atmosphere. Here was my final one, will link to the before/ after video too: The camera zooms out from the close-up of the grey British Shorthair cat with striking amber eyes and a daisy charm collar, revealing her sitting regally on a grand, ornate throne upholstered in plush red velvet with gold accents, in a lavish throne room filled with gold, diamonds, and treasure.

Next up (and where I am) is the "Slope of enlightenment" where you understand what these things can do, and start optimizing and building with them. It might not be as "wow!" now, but that's fine-- it'll keep getting better. In the meantime, just keep experimenting and creating. The masses will slowly circle back.

So can you give a summary of the strengths and weaknesses of all the available AI video generators you prefer? 🙏

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

That's a good idea-- I'll put that on the (ever growing) to-do list!

[@omnipop4936]

I'm new to all this. Obviously the still images are the raw material that's fed into these video generators, but what material are they referencing to get the movements? If someone were to ask why the guy in the video (3:34) has a beard and shades, we'd obviously just say that's what the source image had. But if we were asked why he's walking in that particular _way,_ or at that particular _speed,_ or tilting his head at such-and-such _moment,_ at that particular _angle,_ for that particular _duration,_ where is all that coming from? A particular video it's mimicking? Or maybe an amalgamation of many videos? If one video in the generator's brain/dataset is of a person walking normally, and another video in there is of someone walking weirdly, how does it choose which to mimic when it generates? And what keeps it from jumping from one walking style to the other randomly?

Yeah, I've got some stuff coming up on that soon. I'm not sure the custom model is currently connected to Gen-3 on Runway-- need to test that, but even then-- that will only apply to Text to Video. Currently, I think the best way is to train up an Image Generator and then use that for consistency in Image to Video. Will have a video up on that soon.

@@TheoreticallyMedia fantastic ☺️ glad it’s on your radar, and thanks for the reply!

[@SamuraiG]

Gen3 looks good, the hands are funny. You would think by now it would be worked out but this shows AI really doesn't see the image and is guessing . Orbit and characters turning is a tough one for ai, funny though sometimes it just does it on it's own, hopefully someone works that out.

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

I think they're wisely (for now) keeping orbits to a minimum with characters, as that was something that was a real issue with Gen-2. They minute you start changing the angle, the character's face would totally change. That said, Kling and Luma seem to do it well, so maybe Runway is just keeping it tight until they model is 100% there.

So, Tim; or anyone who knows really; I see that Kling is finally available for all, which Tim mentioned too and that's good; but what happened to the whole "long video output up to 2 minutes feature" that we heard about before it became available outside of China? Kling seems to be just as limited as the others from what I can tell. How is it that we are still limited on these models to like a measly 10 second outputs or so at this point? Just seems crazy to me! If I'm missing something here, let me know as I'm really just waiting on any of these newer models that can output a decent 1 minute or more before I even want to bother with them, especially if they are charging money for these already. Let me know, thanks guys.

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

So with Kling you can EXTEND up to 2 (or maybe 3?) minutes. So, it generates the first 10 seconds, and then you can re-prompt for a second generation off that first one-- That said, I've found that details start to get really fuzzy after the first two extends.

[@Goretasticdotcom]

@@TheoreticallyMedia Yeah, I saw that extending option, but exactly, it gets warped a lot when extending in any ai video model still. I'm more after like you could input something from the get go like, "create a one minute long video of people hiking in the mountains and change the scene every 5 seconds", or something like that. The only thing I know of so far that we can kinda do that with is Noisee in Discord, but the quality of the output of it is pretty rough, I'd say it's a "gen and a half" behind most of the others out now. Oh well, guess I'll just keep using Noisee for now until the newer models have the kind of input options I'm wanting, a waiting game as always, lol. Thanks for the response Tim, much appreciated 🙂👍

Luma is the best bang for the buck for me - the image quality isn't as good as Kling, but I can get something usable without too many garbage renders. Maybe my video prompting skills needs to improve, I don't know...I'm using pretty good Midjourney images as the source.

Try out the GPT I made for video prompting. Although it's obviously optimized for Gen3, I was running the same prompts in Kling and Luma and getting similar results.

i cannot agreee with the acting one, i think gen 3 is actually pretty awesome when it comes to mimics and emotions while telling a story, just try ;)

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

I gotta play with the prompting more. I've seen some pretty good emotional outputs since the video went up. It's always kind of the thing when you're doing "day 1" type videos. Sigh, life of KZbin...

[@ai.explorer_de]

@@TheoreticallyMedia so true. Its a trial and error that gets better over time ss always. :) Great times ahead. Keep up you fantastic videos. Love them!

Kling doesn't even work.

Can it make anime scenes?

[@heww3960]

10:55 If that would be true, then we would see plenty of good movies generated only by ai, but there is none.

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

By the end of the year, if not sooner. I’d say: animation level, and probably around 8 to 10 minutes

[@LeviairDragon]

There’s a lot protecting that from happening in Hollywood rn

[@Xandercorp]

The prices need to go down. If its too expensive for ai utubers, its too expensive lol

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

I don’t know, check out those (admittedly on sale) Kling prices. That’s worth looking into, if you ask me.

Gen 3's Image-to-Video is surprisingly garbage and very generic technology lol sorry Kling's Image-to-Video is freaking impressive on the other hand.
