Welcome, humans.
Weâve been seeing A LOT of AI music videos lately. Like check out this one that uses Flux Schnell images, to Runway Gen 3 videos, set to Udio music, with lyrics by o1:

HmmmâŠ. who does this remind you ofâŠ?
Some other instant-hits:
- The Nile Nexus clubâdreamy, Egyptian-themed DJ house mix.
- Tell Me Anything At Allâfake 90s pop song for a fake 90s teen romcom.
- Sad Supermanâfolksy country ballad, featuring George Clooney.
- Hog on a logâa deep south hip hop banger, featuring, yup, a hog on a log.
- Drinking gasolineâa synth-pop sleeper hit, with a huge âdonât repeat this at homeâ disclaimer.
Yâknow what someone should do? Bring back MTV (âback when MTV used to play music videosâ) as a Youtube live channel that streams AI music videos 24/7.
Hereâs what you need to know about AI today:
- Runway launched a new âvideo to videoâ feature.
- Midjourney to add external photo editing and 3D features soon.
- Tencent created AI open-world game generator.
- ChatGPT allegedly messaged someone first.

Runway just released âVideo to Videoâ capabilitiesâhereâs what that means.

Last Friday, Runway released video-to-video for its Gen-3 model, which essentially lets you alter a video through simple text commands. For example, âchange the background of me walking to be in NYC.â
What people are saying: Early users note inconsistent style across clips, with a âwide discrepancyâ between high fidelity and âsmudgyâ images.
While the new video maintains the movements of the original, the new creations can still struggle to emulate physics accurately.
Sometimes you want a Phoenix flying through a jungle, and you get a Phoenix that IS a jungle.
That said, video to video is probably the closest you can get to âcontrollingâ the output of a video generator, so itâs a must-have if you want to seriously create AI videos.
Creators have already demoâd over 35 impressive use-cases:
- Add filters to various video types:
- Dance videos, performance videos, youtube videos, music videos, video game streams, memes, anime fight scenes, and stock footage (1, 2, 3).
- Provide a change of scenery (1, 2, 3).
- Generate a clip with Midjourney image-to-video, then change the style (1, 2, 3, 4).
- Create homemade Hollywood effectsâno green screen required (1, 2, 3).
- Animate selfies (1, 2), pets, and kids.
- Turn motion capture CGI into a ârenderedâ animation.
- Create a visual effects mask on your footage (like the VFX pros do).
- Create ad mockups for a potential product video (another example).
- Make an animated movie out of your kids toysâor their crafts.
- Create realistic lip syncs.
- Create video game footage in real life.
- Send a car into outer space.
- Become anyone, anywhere.

Hereâs Runwayâs guide on how to use.
The TLDR: upload your reference vid, write your prompt, adjust the âstructure transformationâ score (0 for an exact match, 1 for very different), and generate. Max input is 64mb (1280x768p) with 720p output.
For best results, use 5-10 second clips, a âfixed seedâ for consistent styles, and distort your vid if needed. Hereâs a tutorial video, with more examples.
