RunwayImage-to-video generation from Runway
Gen-4 Turbo is a video generation model developed by Runway, released in September 2024. It takes a source image as input and produces video output, with user-configurable options for clip duration, aspect ratio, and a seed value for reproducibility. The model is tagged as Runway's flagship offering in the video generation category and is available through MindStudio without requiring separate API key setup.
Gen-4 Turbo is designed for workflows that start from a still image and require animated video output, making it applicable to creative production, storyboarding, and content generation tasks. Its input structure — image URL, duration selector, aspect ratio selector, and seed — gives users direct control over the core parameters of each generation. The model supports a context window of 1,000 tokens, which governs the prompt or instruction input alongside the image.
