Revolutionizing RunwayML with the NEW Ambient Motion Control
Welcome to this exciting blog post where we'll be exploring the new ambient control setting in Runway ML's motion brush. This amazing feature is revolutionizing the world of AI-generated videos and animated clips on the Runway ML platform. We'll be diving into different images, landscapes, portraits, and art styles to see how this ambient setting impacts the generated video clips. Are you ready for a mind-blowing journey into the world of motion control? Let's get started!
The New Ambient Control Setting
Runway ML's Gen 2 introduces a brand new ambient control setting that adds incredible versatility to the motion brush. How does it work? Well, after loading an image, you'll find various settings available. You can set the seed number, toggle interpolation and upscaling, and remove the watermark, which are all set to default values. Once you're ready, you can adjust the overall motion or delve deeper into camera controls, such as horizontal and vertical pan, tilt, roll, and zoom.
But the star of the show is the motion brush. This powerful tool allows you to change the brush size and paint in the areas you want to be affected by the motion. And here comes the exciting part - the horizontal, vertical, and proximity sliders are now joined by a brand new ambient slider!
Unleashing the Power of Ambience
The ambient slider takes you on a thrilling ride from zero to ten. By increasing this slider, you apply a noise effect to the selected area of your motion brush. It's like adding an extra layer of ambiance to your video. So, let's see how this innovation impacts the final output!
I started by setting the ambient motion to five and generated the video clip. The result was mind-blowing! The hair was gracefully drifting in the water while the bubbles and ripples merged with it. But here's the twist - there was an unexpected blink on the character's face, which added an interesting touch to the overall composition.
Next, I turned the ambient motion down to one. This time, there was very little motion, with the bubbles slowly drifting and a subtle ripple along the water's surface. The impact of the ambient motion was much lower, resulting in a calmer and more serene clip.
Now, let's crank it up to the max at ten. The result was tons of motion! The camera seemed to shift oddly in all directions - it was like a wild roller coaster ride. While this may not be the best outcome for every image, it definitely showcases the extreme possibilities of the ambient control setting.
I decided to experiment further and found the sweet spot with an ambient setting of 5.5. By combining it with a zoom out of 2.6 and a right roll of 1.4, the final result was mesmerizing. The moving bubbles, the gently swaying hair, and the subtle lighting effects created a rich and captivating composition. It truly exceeded my expectations!
Thinking Outside the Box
Now that we've explored the potential of ambient motion in images, let's think outside the box! One exciting approach could be to bring animation to a character's face using the motion brush. By simply painting the face and using text prompts like "eyes blink," "close eyes," or "open eyes," we can add another dimension to the video. You can then combine different generations and use masks in Adobe After Effects to create your desired final shot. The possibilities are endless!
Unleash Your Creativity
In conclusion, Runway ML's new ambient control setting opens up a world of possibilities for adding motion to your AI-generated videos and animated clips. Whether you want to create serene and calm compositions or go for an extreme and dynamic effect, the ambient slider allows you to unleash your creativity like never before.
