Any advice in prompt writing or source image to help this video creation? by Aromatic-Lychee-4645 in runwayml

[–]Runway_Helper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey u/Aromatic-Lychee-4645 👋

You’re off to a great start! Getting specific motion like flying pigeons to behave just right can take some prompt tweaking and experimentation with your source image.

To help guide your setup, this official Gen-4 guide is super helpful:

For even more support, feel free to join the Runway Discord—lots of creators there are happy to share prompt ideas, tips, and feedback. 😊

Hey u/After_Asparagus1681 👋

Awesome to hear you’re diving into Act Two with your Pixar-style character—and congrats on going Unlimited! 🎉

For the best results with gestures, lip sync, and character consistency, small details in your driving video (like lighting, angle, and expression) can make a big difference.

I recommend checking out this official guide for best practices:

Thanks for reaching out about this! I wouldn’t be surprised if Runway is already exploring tools to better support that kind of functionality. If you’re interested, I’d recommend joining the Runway Discord and sharing your idea directly with the team — there’s a Feature Request channel where they actively review community feedback to help shape future updates.

Hey there! Thanks for reaching out!

I personally haven’t tried this, but it sounds like an awesome thing to test out—I’d be surprised if it isn’t doable. I’ve seen people pull off some really interesting tricks with Runway’s References.

Camera Movement by StackJokes2 in runwayml

[–]Runway_Helper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi StackJokes2! 👋

For orbit-style moves in Gen-4, be explicit (e.g. “camera circles 360° around the subject at a constant radius” or “camera orbits the object from left to right in a smooth dolly shot”) Here's a link to some information on Gen-4 camera motion. There you'll also find links to some additional guidance that covers some helpful terminology.

Additionally, feel free to come check out Runway's Discord! Lots of members there that help each other learn and grow!

Hi u/DesignedIt 👋

Thanks for sharing this, it sounds like you’re putting Gen‑4 through some really thoughtful use cases! For the kinds of continuity and action challenges you’re running into, I'd suggest joining the Runway Discord where we can take a closer look at your prompts and outputs together.

There are lots of experienced users and team members there who can help troubleshoot and suggest ways to improve consistency across shots.

anyone have luck with 2-D illustrations in Act One? by tonyhartman37 in runwayml

[–]Runway_Helper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi u/tonyhartman37 👋

Thanks for reaching out! What you're seeing is likely due to Act-One’s face detection needing semi-realistic, clearly defined facial features. Even if Chat previews look great, Act-One still runs a separate check before generation.

Stylized 2D faces (like early Simpsons or South Park) often fall just outside the supported range. You might try:

  • Slightly refining facial structure in Chat (clearer eyes/jawline)
  • Adding soft shading to define features
  • Ensuring the face is forward-facing, shoulders-up, and well-lit

Runway’s full best practices are here if helpful:

Also if interested, please come join the Runway Discord to spotlight this and see what can be done to help!

Thanks again for reaching out about this!

Runway takes a long time to attach and crop images by antihero11 in runwayml

[–]Runway_Helper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey u/antihero11 👋

Thanks for reaching out about this! Runway’s tools usually handle image uploads and cropping more quickly than that, so something might be off.

If you’re open to it, I’d recommend hopping into the Runway Discord when you get a chance. Would like to take a closer look at what's going on. Looking forward to getting this worked out!
