💥 Runway: AI video editor

Plus: Lemon8, Twitter's ridiculous API pricing, PewDiePie on Twitch

Hi everyone,

Finally getting some warmer weather here in Canada. Ski season’s over (this winter seemed shorter than others), but excited to be able to drive properly again 🙏

Today, let’s dive deep into an AI product that I believe will change the content creation game for early adopters 🤖

I’m using it extensively within our studio, and the speed that these guys are implementing new features is just mindblowing.

Give it up for Runway 👏

Runway is a web-based video editor, which happens to have tons of creative, cutting-edge AI features.

Runway’s bold claim

Let’s look at some of its features that went viral on social media 👇

🔹 Removing unwanted parts from video (inpainting)

Gone are the days of fidgeting around with a lasso tool and masks to remove that pesky logo. Runway makes it super easy 🤯

🔹 Editing video with text prompts (ChatGPT for video editing?)

“Remove all the trees”

“Change the sky to a darker shade of blue” 

… are some of the prompts you can use to change the video to a specific context.
