Runway - Gen-2: The Next Step Forward for Generative AI

Runway Research is an AI research company that specializes in providing services for generative AI. Their flagship product, Gen-2, is a powerful multimodal AI system that can generate novel videos using text, images, or video clips.

1. Text to Video: Gen-2 can synthesize videos in any style based on a text prompt.
2. Text + Image to Video: Users can generate videos using a driving image and a text prompt.
3. Image to Video: Gen-2 can generate videos using just a driving image, with variations available.
4. Stylization: Users can transfer the style of any image or prompt to every frame of their video.
5. Storyboard: Runway's Gen-2 can turn mockups into fully stylized and animated renders.
