For example, in a scene where water is poured, the water splashes unnaturally, and people walk like robots.Hundreds of thousands of yenThis can be solved by using equipment, but most of us don't have the time or money to do so.

To use the example of cooking, in the past it was necessary to cut ingredients from scratch and simmer them for hours, but now it feels like you can make a full-fledged meal just by popping it in the microwave.

On TikTok and YouTube,Hundreds of millions every dayIn this age where videos are being uploaded, there was a need for a tool that anyone could use to easily create them.
Key points of the technology
The amazing thing about Runway Gen-4.5 is that it creates lifelike videos just by "entering text," almost like magic. For example, if you write "create a scene pouring coffee," the flow of water and the shaking of the cup will be realistically reproduced. This is because the AI has learned the rules of physics. To put it in perspective, it's like a child playing with a toy, where the AI understands "weight" and "momentum" and moves accordingly. What's more, it also creates audio, so there's no need to record it separately!
Previous tools often had unnatural movements that made me think, "Something's weird," but Gen-4.5 is Hollywood-level realistic. You can even create an interactive world. The environment changes automatically, just like in a game. It's fast, too.few secondsAnd it's done. If you're just starting out as a hobby, you can easily get started with a credit system.
