FAQs

What is Runway Gen-4 Image?
Runway Gen-4 Image is Runway's latest model for converting static images into cinematic-quality video with exceptional character consistency and realistic motion.
How is Gen-4 Image different from Gen-4 Aleph?
Gen-4 Image specializes in image-to-video conversion. Gen-4 Aleph is the text-to-video model for generating video from text descriptions.
How do I use Runway Gen-4 Image on Morphic?
Upload your image, open Copilot, select Gen-4 Image, and describe the motion you want. The model preserves the subject and visual style of the source while bringing it to life.
What kinds of stills work best with Gen-4 Image?
Cinematic frames, character portraits, environment plates, and product shots animate cleanly. It is the right pick when you have a key still you want to extend into a moving shot.
Does Gen-4 Image keep character identity consistent?
Yes. Identity, costume, and visual style stay locked while motion is generated forward, useful for character-driven sequences and narrative beats.
How does Gen-4 Image compare with Kling and Seedance for image-to-video?
Gen-4 Image is the cinematic specialist. Kling O3 covers the broadest feature set. Seedance leads on human motion and dance. Try the same input across all three from Copilot to find the best fit for your shot.
