Why it was saved

  • @runwayapp, 1 October 2024: Enables creators, editors, and VFX artists to restyle real footage into diverse animated, 3D, sketched, or abstract visual variations without manual frame-by-frame animation.
  • @evolving.ai, 13 September 2024: Gives video creators and VFX artists precise control over character motion, timing, and camera movements by driving AI generation with reference footage rather than text prompts alone.
