RunwayML has announced the launch of an Image to Video capability for its latest AI model, Gen-4.5. The new feature allows users to generate video sequences directly from a starting image.


According to the announcement, the tool is designed to create longer narrative-driven videos with precise control over camera movement. The company highlights its focus on maintaining coherent storylines and consistent character appearances throughout the generated video clip.


The Gen-4.5 Image to Video feature is now available to all users on paid subscription plans through the RunwayML application. The release positions the update as an enhancement for creators looking to build extended, controlled visual stories from a single image prompt.
