**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](https://render.x.io) and log in. Make sure you’re signed in to your Render Network account or [create a new account](https://account.otoy.com/sign_up?referrer=render_network). <br>

1. **Go to the 'Generate' tab**\
   Switch from Text to Image to Image to Video using the top-left dropdown.<br>

2. **Select Runway as your generator**\
   Use the dropdown next to “Generator” and choose Runway.\ <br>
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.\ <br>

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.<br>
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<br>

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.<br>
* Keep prompts descriptive and grounded (e.g., “slow dolly in through foggy forest toward DeLorean”).<br>
* Use the same seed across shots to maintain continuity.

* Stack multiple generations for A/B testing shot composition.
