🧰 AI How-To

How to Create AI-Generated Cinematic Videos

1. Prepare Image: Choose an image to use as the starting frame for the cinematic video. This image can be from a tool like Midjourney or any image from your computer.

2. Access Runway Gen 2: Go to Runway Gen 2 and select the "Image to Video" option. Link to Runway Gen 2.

3. Adjust Settings: Before generating, make sure to click on the "Settings" button and deselect the "Interpolate" and "Upscale" options. Keep the "Remove Watermark" option selected.

4. Generate Video: Click on "Generate" to create the initial video with the chosen image as the first frame. If you have multiple images you would like to use to generate a video, you can generate new videos while the first is rendered.

5. Enhance Video Quality: Export the video from Runway Gen 2 and import it into Topaz Video AI for better quality.

6. Upscale and Frame Rate: In Topaz Video AI, upscale the video to a higher resolution, e.g., 4K, and set the frame rate to 24 frames per second for a cinematic feel. Link to Topaz Video AI. We suggest 4x Upscale, and 24 FPS.

7. Frame Interpolation: Enable frame interpolation to create smooth animations between frames and remove any duplicate frames. Select the Apollo AI Model for frame Interpolation and select “Replace Duplicate Frames”.

8. AI Model Selection: Choose an appropriate AI model for enhancement, such as "Proteus" and a Video type; we suggest “Progressive”.

9. Encoder Settings: Select high-quality encoder settings like "ProRes 422" for a better final result.

10. Export: Export the enhanced video with the selected settings.

11. Review and Refine: Evaluate the final result and assess any areas that may need further improvement or refinement.

12. Use in Projects: Incorporate the AI-generated cinematic videos into your filmmaking projects to add a unique and creative touch.
