🚨 BREAKING: Runway is working on Storyboards!

Yes, there are 2 of them and it feels like both are different prototypes with different user experiences. Here is what's inside 👇

On Storyboard number one it is possible to draw and use this drawing to transform it into an image.

Later these images can be animated with the Gen-2 model.

Results can be previewed in a gallery where you will be able to view generations one by one.

The second storyboard features a slightly different UI where you can generate text prompts for uploaded or generated images.

These images could be regenerated afterwards. There is no preview mode over here.

Both concepts look more like early prototypes so far and are not necessarily designed to produce a single video for now. It will be very interesting to compare it with VideoFX Storyboard when both will be released 👀

ICYMI: Now you can select a search shortcut along with mentioning a custom GPT 👀

This is not a new functionality but rather a new look where you can easily manage selected tools.

ChatGPT is experimenting with a new design for the Forced Search feature making it more prominent to users.

When enabled, it opens a similar Search panel, which is available now. It still uses a Bing search index and is not real-time 👀
