A 50-second teaser video has once again set the AI community abuzz.

Yesterday, Runway announced the upcoming launch of the "Motion Brush" feature in the video generation tool Gen-2, a new method for controlling the movement of generated content.

This time, the gameplay doesn't even require entering text, just a hand is enough.

Choose an image, and wherever the brush is applied, it immediately comes to life:

Whether it's water flow, clouds, flames, smoke, or characters, their dynamics can be highly reproduced. Is this the legendary "touchstone"?

After watching, netizens expressed: I can't even imagine how advanced video technology will be in a year...

After all, in early 2023, generating videos from text was still quite difficult.

Runway had previously launched Gen-1 in February this year, which was feature-rich, including stylization, story mode, masking, rendering, customization, and more. It seems to be a tool focused on "editing" videos.

However, in March of this year, the launch of Gen-2 changed everything, adding text and image video generation capabilities. Users only need to input text, images, or text with image descriptions, and Gen-2 can generate related videos in a very short time.

This is the first publicly available text-to-video model on the market. For example, inputting a pure text passage like "The afternoon sunlight shines through the windows of a New York loft," Gen-2 will directly "imagine" the video:

Now, with just a few prompts and gestures, we can generate decent videos and further edit them, bidding farewell to complex video editing software and lengthy production processes.

If the text-to-image tool Midjourney is combined with the text-to-video tool Gen-2, users can create blockbusters without lifting a pen.

Of course, Gen-2 also has competitors, such as Pika Labs, especially since the latter is free.

The above images were generated by Pika Labs.

For this rapidly evolving trend, some users are very much looking forward to it: "In 2024, the tug-of-war between Pika Labs and Runway will be very interesting."

Rumors have it that OpenAI also has video generation-related technology. Some netizens commented: "This makes me curious about how outstanding OpenAI's any-to-any model is in generating videos, because this company usually leads the way."

Will the future of the video and film production industry be overturned by this?
