Videogenerator lets you build video clips from text, images, or both together.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Choose your mode
Runway AI offers Text to Video, Image to Video, and both combined.
Text to Video needs only writing, no upload at all.
Step 2: Add your prompt or image
Click the image icon to attach a reference picture.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: A four second video clip appears in your media library.
Step 3: Run the generation
Press Generate and let the generation process finish.
✅ Resultaat: You can generate videos based on words, a picture, or both.
💡 Pro-tip: Preview the still frames first, before spending credits on full video generation.
Hoe het Runway AI Gen-2-model te gebruiken
Gen-2 model lets you create quick four second clips without heavy setup.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Select Gen-2
Switch the model dropdown from Gen-3 to Gen 2.
Gen 2 also accepts a source video for restyling.
Step 2: Set your seed
Note the generation seed so you can repeat the look.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: The seed number shows under each finished video.
Step 3: Extend the clip
Reuse the same seed to stretch four seconds toward twelve.
✅ Resultaat: You have a longer clip built from one consistent idea.
💡 Pro-tip: Change only the seed to test variations of the same text prompt.
Hoe Runway AI Gen-3 Alpha Turbo te gebruiken
Gen-3 Alpha Turbo lets you get sharper motion and steadier characters across shots.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Stap 1: Schakel over naar Gen-3 Alpha Turbo
Pick it from the model list before writing anything.
Step 2: Upload a reference
Character consistency tools keep one face steady across every scene.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: Your subject keeps the same face between separate clips.
Step 3: Add camera direction
Open Director Mode for pans, tilts, zooms, and dollies.
✅ Resultaat: Multiple shots now look like one continuous world.
💡 Pro-tip: Turbo trades a little detail for speed, so test both models first.
Hoe Runway AI Generative Audio te gebruiken
Generatieve audio lets you add voices and lip sync to any generated character.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Open the audio tools
Find them beside the video tool in the sidebar.
Step 2: Paste your script
Type the words your character should say on screen.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: Lip movement lines up with the spoken description.
Step 3: Sync to the face
Runway AI matches mouth motion to the audio automatically.
✅ Resultaat: Your character talks instead of standing silent.
💡 Pro-tip: Short lines sync better than long paragraphs, so split your script.
Hoe de AI-beeldtools van Runway te gebruiken
Beeldgereedschappen lets you clean up, expand, and restyle any picture you upload.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Stap 1: Upload je afbeelding
Drag any file from your computer into the workspace.
Step 2: Pick a tool
Background removal, expand, and restyle all sit here.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: The widened picture shows no visible seams.
Step 3: Change the aspect ratio
Runway AI fills the missing edges for you.
✅ Resultaat: One source image now fits every platform layout.
💡 Pro-tip: Expand before you animate, since editing videos later costs far more credits.
Hoe gebruik je de Runway AI Motion Brush?
Bewegingspenseel lets you paint exactly which parts of an image should move.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Load a still image
Start from any picture you created or uploaded.
Step 2: Paint the moving area
Brush over the subject’s head, hair, or clothing.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: Only the painted region moves in the preview.
Step 3: Set direction and strength
Adjust other settings to control speed and drift.
✅ Resultaat: Backgrounds stay still while your subject comes alive.
💡 Pro-tip: Paint small areas first, because wide strokes create messy motion.
Hoe u de magische tools van Runway AI kunt gebruiken

Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Open the tools panel
Runway organizes its technology into over 30 AI Magic Tools.

Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Import the clip
Upload the footage you want to fix.

Veelvoorkomende fouten bij Runway AI die je moet vermijden
Mistake #1: Writing Conversational Prompts
❌ Fout: “Can you please make me a nice video of a dog?”
✅ Rechts: “Golden retriever running through tall grass, warm sunset light, slow dolly in.”
Mistake #2: Burning Credits on Full Renders
❌ Fout: Generating full clips repeatedly until one finally looks right.
✅ Rechts: Preview still images first, then render only the prompt that works.
Mistake #3: Ignoring the Credit Meter
❌ Fout: Starting a long render without enough credits left in your account.
✅ Rechts: Check your balance first, and do not forget that extending clips costs extra.
Probleemoplossing voor Runway AI
Problem: Generation Fails or Stalls
Oorzaak: Heavy platform load or a prompt that breaks content rules.
Repareren: Wait a moment, shorten your description, then run the generation process again.
Problem: Output Looks Warped or Melting
Oorzaak: Too many subjects or too much motion packed into one frame.
Repareren: Name a single subject, reduce movement, and let the camera do the work.
Problem: Download Gives a Watermarked File
Oorzaak: You are still on the free plan, which stamps every export.
Repareren: Upgrade to Standard, then re-download the video from your media library.
📌 Opmerking: If none of these fix your issue, contact Runway support.
