Using Runway Gen-4 Turbo on the Render Network
A guide to using Runway Gen-4 Turbo on the Render Network
Overview: Runway Gen-4 Turbo is now available as a supported Image-to-Video generator on the Render Network. It allows you to create cinematic motion from static images using an advanced physics-aware model. This guide walks you through the basics.
Steps to Use Runway Gen-4 Turbo:
Navigate to render.x.io and log in. Make sure you’re signed in to your Render Network account or create a new account.
Go to the 'Generate' tab Switch from Text to Image to Image to Video using the top-left dropdown.
Select Runway as your generator Use the dropdown next to “Generator” and choose Runway.
Enable Gen-4 Turbo Under Advanced Options, ensure Gen-4 Turbo is enabled. Gen-4 Turbo provides fast generation using Runway’s most recent video model.
Upload or generate an image You can use any image, but for best results, generate a consistent sequence using Flux Kontext models or Photon, or iterate a previous render output.
Set generation parameters
Choose 5 or 10 second duration
Add your motion direction prompt
Enable and retain an “Initial Seed” unique value for consistency across shots
Now you are ready to click Generate and finalize your results. Each 5s Gen-4 clip costs ~0.50 Render Credits. You can generate 2 clips simultaneously per batch.
💡 Tips:
Use Flux Kontext to build a shot list with visually aligned reference frames.
Keep prompts descriptive and grounded (e.g., “slow dolly in through foggy forest toward DeLorean”).
Use the same seed across shots to maintain continuity.
Stack multiple generations for A/B testing shot composition.
