-: Okay, let's use Runway ML
to start creating some stock footage
or B-roll as they call it in the industry.
So, you're gonna start with some text.
I'm just gonna paste in this prompt here
and we're gonna hit generate.
And what that's gonna do
is gonna generate using this prompt,
like generate five seconds worth of video.
And you can add styles to it
and stuff like that.
Afterwards you can also set different camera motions
and things like that, but just to give you
a sense of the type of thing that you can do here.
Now, one thing I would recommend
is that there are like specific words
that are quite useful in these types of prompts.
And so like masterpiece, classic, cinematic.
Here we've used cinematic.
It also helps to show
what is it like, what is the actual format drone shot
in this case top down.
And so where's the camera coming from?
Is it full shot? Is it close up?
Is it macro lens, wide angle, slow pan, zoom?
If you can use camera specific terms,
it is much better at that
'cause that's what it was trained at.
And then just, then give an example
of what it is that you're trying to show.
If you want to use Runway, actually it's,
it does have some free credits
at least at the time of recording
and it can, you can generate up to,
I think it's like a hundred seconds worth of video.
It's five seconds each.
So you do the math,
but it's, you know, pretty good for B-roll in particular.
And if you're using this for your own projects and things,
and it's not Hollywood level obviously,
but if you don't have access
to Hollywood level funds then you know this is super cheap
and it can generate, I think with generation two,
the gen two model it is like, good enough I would say
to generate stuff for your own hobbyist projects, right?
So you can see how quickly that happened.
It's generated the video
and you can click play now
and there you go.
And it's showing the forest, which is pretty cool.
Now if you wanted to change the style,
you know different things here,
it has a lot of examples that you can use,
that it might recommend.
And if you click on one of those styles,
then that will add that to the prompt essentially.
You can also choose the camera motion.
So if you wanted to pan it to a certain side,
yeah you could do that as well.
Feel free to mess around with those.
You can also start from an image.
If you have a specific image that you wanted to animate,
now you can do that or you know,
have the prompt and the image as well.
Yeah, enjoy Runway.
There's a bunch of cool stuff you can do here.
Once you have your footage, you can actually then click
to extend it if you want as well.
If you need to,
if five seconds isn't enough.
If you want to download, by the way, the button is here
and it helps to just rate these
'cause it gives feedback to the Runway team.
Alright, enjoy.
