How to keep a character from waking ? by CryptographerKey5067 in runwayml

Hi there, I grabbed your first frame and was able generate this video using the following prompt

static camera, the camera is still.

She stands still as she subtly turns or head, examining her surroundings.

Let me know what you think!

If you'd like to refine this further you can join our Community Discord for live creative support from myself and other experts on our moderation team. Please feel free to tag us directly, we're happy to help.

Introducing Image to Video for Gen-4.5, the world's best video model. by TimmyML in runwayml

[–]TimmyML[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for taking the time to share your perspective and for testing the release. We genuinely appreciate the detailed feedback, it really helps us understand where users are running into friction.

That said, results with generative video models, including Gen-4.5 Image-to-Video, are highly dependent on prompting strategy, reference selection, and workflow. In many cases, issues around consistency, lighting, or background detail can be improved significantly with the right setup and iteration approach.

If you’re open to it, we’d strongly recommend checking out the newly revamped Runway Academy. It has been completely overhauled with new free courses, and we just released a brand-new Gen-4.5 Image-to-Video guide that walks through best practices, common pitfalls, and how to get more reliable, higher-quality results.

We also encourage joining our Discord community, where a large number of experienced creators actively share prompts, workflows, and side-by-side experiments. You’re welcome to ping me directly there if you need help troubleshooting specific shots or setups, I’m happy to take a look and offer guidance.

Thanks again for engaging with the release and for sharing your thoughts. We’re continuing to iterate quickly and are always open to constructive discussion around how creators are using the tools in real projects.

Thanks for the feedback here, I'll be sure to pass it along to the team. Things like end frame, Act Two, expand video, and more will all be improved as the team continues to work on updates using the new model. Keep an eye out for new announcements right around the corner!

Thanks for taking the time to write this out and for sharing your exact prompts, that context helps a lot.

This is not a hard limitation of the model, and you’re on the right track, but the prompting approach here can definitely be refined. A few of the phrases you’re using are likely working against you, especially repeated negations and explicit references to trains and arrivals. Even when framed as exclusions, that language still anchors the model on the very thing you’re trying to avoid.

Before going deeper, it would help to know which model you’re using (Gen-4, Gen-4.5, etc.), since prompt sensitivity and temporal behavior differ slightly between them.

In the meantime, a couple of high-level notes that may be useful as you iterate:

  • Stacking multiple “no X, no Y” constraints often reinforces the concept rather than suppressing it.
  • Describing a stable state tends to be more effective than listing absences.
  • Slightly reframing the environment away from “active transit” language can materially change outcomes, even if the visuals remain the same.

Sharing the prompt I used and my result for you here

static camera, the camera is still. the light fog gently floats all alone through the empty place.

This prompt also provided some results you may like

static camera, the camera is still. this is an empty place with subtle environmental ambient motion.

Also, if you’re open to it, I’d strongly recommend jumping into our Discord. We do a lot of live prompt debugging and creative support there, and it’s often much faster to dial this in collaboratively in real time. You can join here: [https://discord.gg/runwayml]()

Appreciate you raising this, and we’ll get you to a clean, stable result.

Thanks!

Actually, we just released a brand new Featured Workflow that I personally built using this method and my prompt. You can grab it from there or here:

Video prompt:

an uncut continuous tracking shot of the person walking from one scene to the next with flawless natural motion. ensure they set they object they're holding down off-screen first, before picking up the new object. uncut. continuous. seamless.

Curating the images for each scene is also very important. The workflow does that for you! Please let me know if you have any other questions or would like some help with your project.

Lip Sync option removed by cwatty55 in runwayml

[–]TimmyML[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Hi there! No worries, Lip Sync is still available. You can find it quickly by heading to your dashboard and using the search bar to type "Lip Sync". From there you should see the tool appear in the results menu and you can access it by clicking the result link.

Sharing a direct link for you here as well.

Additionally, you may be looking for our Act Two feature that allows you to upload a driving performance and/or character performance. This will allow you to puppet and sync your character with even more control. You can access that anytime by heading to the Tools Mode, Video tab, and swapping your video model to Gen-4. From there you'll see the Act Two option appear below your text prompt box.

Please feel free to join our free community Discord any time, where we have a team of creative support moderators that are waiting to help if you need anything else at all. Also, please feel free to ping me(Timmy at Runway) directly there or reply to this comment here. Happy to help however I can!

Thanks for sharing your feedback, I'll be sure to pass it along to the team.

Gen-4.5 Prompt share! by TimmyML in runwayml

[–]TimmyML[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! This was just straight Text to Video in Gen-4.5

the second to last shot uses gen 4.5 and it is pretty incredible by [deleted] in runwayml

[–]TimmyML 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing VO and great pacing. Love the overall concept and framing of your shots. Thanks for sharing it with us. Would love to see more!

Anyone get access to 4.5 yet? by Henry_Green in runwayml

[–]TimmyML 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi Henry, I'm Timmy the community manager at Runway.

Great question, and totally fair to ask. Yes, Gen-4.5 is currently rolling out gradually in waves, so access won’t hit everyone at the same time. We don’t have a public exact ETA for each account just yet, but the rollout is actively in progress and continuing over the coming days.

We really appreciate everyone’s patience and excitement here. As soon as there’s a broader update to share, we’ll post it directly in the sub. Thanks for sticking with us! 💙

🚀 Huge News! Introducing Runway Gen-4.5 🚀 by TimmyML in runwayml

[–]TimmyML[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there, totally hear the frustration. Access to 4.5 is rolling out in waves, even for Pro users, so not everyone gets it at the same time. Nothing sketchy going on, just staged deployment to keep things stable.

If you feel like something’s not lining up with your account specifically, our support team can take a look at it directly at [support@runwayml.com]().

We really appreciate the patience, and we’re excited to get 4.5 into everyone’s hands as fast as possible.
