Runway • Pika • Sora

AI Director:Welcome to Generative Video. Unlike static images, video requires calculating time and motion. Models like Runway Gen-2 or Pika predict how pixels change over frames.

Unlock nodes by mastering text-to-video diffusion.

Step 1: The Video Prompt

Unlike static image prompting, video requires you to describe the passage of time.

Generative Video is the next frontier of AI. Tools like Runway Gen-2, Pika Labs, and OpenAI's Sora don't just "animate" an image; they understand physics, light transport, and temporal consistency within the latent space.

1. The Challenge of Consistency

The biggest hurdle in AI video is keeping the subject looking the same from frame 1 to frame 24. This is where Seeds and Image-to-Video (Img2Vid) come in. By starting with a strong base image (from Midjourney v6), you anchor the visual style before adding motion.

2. Camera Control

Early models had random movement. Now, we use specific syntax to control the "virtual camera".

🎥 Pan

Moving the camera horizontally (Left/Right) or vertically (Up/Down) without changing the lens focal length.

🔍 Zoom

Changing the focal length to make the subject appear closer (Zoom In) or further away (Zoom Out).

AI Video Dictionary

Text-to-Video (Txt2Vid)
Generating video content directly from a text prompt. The model hallucinates frames based on the semantic meaning of words.

Image-to-Video (Img2Vid)
Using a static image as the first frame reference. This ensures the subject looks exactly how you want it before movement begins.

Motion Bucket / --motion
A parameter (often 1-10 or 1-255) controlling the amount of change between frames. Low = Subtle, High = Chaotic.

Seed
A number used to initialize the generation noise. Keeping the seed constant allows for consistent style across multiple generations.

Interpolation
The process of AI guessing frames BETWEEN generated frames to make the video smoother (e.g., turning 12fps into 24fps).
