a) Yes, heard about runway in the summer, haven't had time to play around with it yet.
b) Sadly, these tools are based off of MASSIVE theft - 100% pure theft. The psychopaths behind the "ai" push (same ones who organized convid, never a virus, still isn't - was designed to poison people, 'masks/tests/treatments' etc all had poisons on them designed to get ppl to inject themselves), and  google (the 'alphabet company', in turn "owned" by blackrock/vanguard, who owns most of the controlling interest in most of the fortune 500 companies - aka how they organized the convid scam) - funded runway I think to the tune of 180 MILLION+ and want people to become dependent upon tools like this.
c) Sadly still though - I think many people (not all of course), will become dependent upon tools like these - and then justify them because now they "need" them for their livelihood.
d) After which - makes it SUPER easy for the pyschopaths pushing this - to then "deny access" to those people they don't like, and only "approve" access for those they do (aka those that are compliant/obedient/etc)... it's really all about 'control'... ala 'id2020', and "digital id" "initiatives" for your "safety & protection" (which is actually the opposite of that).

Of course, doesn't have to happen that way. Just an FYI what they are trying to do.

BUT... getting back to the "ai" side of things...

Yes, it is kind of cool what can be done, even though the tools are based off of massive theft, and promote theft.

Cobalt, Just got some interesting news... Stable Video Diffusion arrived!

You can install and run in your pc and also use it for your own photos. Its via github and hugging face.
Anyway the youtuber Olivio Sarikas explains how to use it step by step with its Local Install Guide.

I was pretty curious to test at Runway https://runwayml.com/ a new creative tool to AI-generate a video directly from a prompt,  an image + prompt, or simply with brush strokes over an image to specify motion.

The two last posts on my blog https://luisafumi-digitalart.com/blog are dedicated to my attempts.
I enjoyed the ride and I think the last result is not bad at all.

What version are you using? I see free and three more.

Oh, thanks for that!

Will that work on my mac?

I will certainly try to install stable fr video or photos at some point. It will save a lot of money and I don't have to worry about privacy if I animate my own photos.

well you can run stable diffusion but I don't know if you can run this too. I am not using mac. sry
