Gen-4 Turbo

Gen-4 Turbo is the faster, lower-cost image-to-video model in the Gen-4 family. It uses an image and a text prompt, with five- or ten-second outputs in the creative product.

Use the lower cost for controlled comparisons

Runway’s guide recommends trying ideas with Turbo before changing to Gen-4 when needed. Keep the source image fixed when comparing motion prompts. Otherwise, differences in the image and the prompt can make it difficult to identify why a result changed.Creating with Gen-4 Video

Compare the completed shot, not only its price

Practical guidance. A lower generation price is useful only if the result meets the project’s needs. For an animated product image, compare the number of usable clips, the editing required and the preservation of product details. A more expensive model may need fewer revisions for a particular scene.
