Runway Gen 4.5 Image To Video is HERE (and it’s GOOD!)
This video reviews Runway Gen 4.5 image-to-video through a series of stress tests focused on consistency, motion, and scene behavior. The creator compares the new model with earlier Runway generations to show how the platform has changed over time. The walkthrough also covers new interface updates, Story Panels, and node-based workflows within the Runway ecosystem.
