When Runway completely changed AI video back in the summer of 2023, they kept on releasing useful feature after useful feature, week after week. It was like they were reading my mind.
I feel like they are back to doing that again. Lots of great features recently that are actually useful.
Now my question for this frame rate feature is, does it fix the frame doubling artifact on Seedance 2.5 videos that makes it look like it has a low frame rate in spurts?

Thank you to all of you who came to the screening of my new film and for all of the wonderful conversations afterwards.
On my way back to the hotel, I was reflecting on what I took away from today. What is more important to me than film festivals or even going viral is an authentic dialogue about the work I am creating.
It is rare to have such a good group of people where you can have real and thoughtful conversations about what you have created. The most common word I heard was “emotion” almost in surprise that it could come from an AI film, but also not surprised that it came from me.
P.S. My favorite photo from today taken by one of my favorite photographers @OmarZRobles

I asked a few close friends for early feedback on GRUS LUPUS. @joeyldotcom liked the less figurative ones and picked Lupus Manus Sinistra Nebula. I asked @SamSpratt completely independently and he picked Lupus Manus Sinistra Unfurled, the sibling piece to the one that Joey picked. They are truly brothers. Grateful for my friendship with them both, together and individually. It has been a source of great joy for me over the past several years.

My one request for you today.
Take a moment out of your day and spend time with @joeyldotcom's photography.
Spend time on his website:
I love the on-set section:
Especially this photo, it shows how much he is an all-in kind of guy, never a "dip your toe in the water" kind of guy.
