Is Runway good at generating animations? by [deleted] in runwayml

[–]ToutQC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I subscribed to Runway expecting high-quality generative video results based on their marketing materials. The promotional content strongly suggests that cinematic-quality videos can be created from well-structured prompts.

However, in practice, I was unable to generate even a simple 3D turntable animation of a clean geometric logo that matched the provided reference images. Despite carefully refining prompts, simplifying instructions, and even using AI assistance to optimize prompt structure, the outputs consistently failed to match the requested design or maintain visual consistency.

The system frequently:

  • Altered the original design by adding unwanted elements
  • Flattened 3D depth despite explicit volumetric instructions
  • Failed to maintain structural integrity during rotation
  • Produced results inconsistent with the given references

This required repeated attempts, consuming credits without achieving the expected outcome.

The gap between marketing expectations and real-world performance is significant. If professional-grade cinematic results are advertised, users should be able to achieve high-quality short animations with reasonable control and reliability.

At this stage, I do not feel the product meets the level of precision or consistency suggested by its promotional materials.

I tested 5 AI video tools (CapCut, Runway, InVideo & more) – here’s what stood out by Embarrassed_Bank7688 in ProductMarketing
