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.

1. Go to the 'Generate' tab Switch from Text to Image to Image to Video using the top-left dropdown.

   
2. Select Runway as your generator Use the dropdown next to “Generator” and choose Runway.

3. 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.

   
4. 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.

5. 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.
