The popular artificial intelligence (AI) platform, Runway AI, has taken video editing to new heights by introducing a new feature named “Expand Video”.
This development is part of Runway AI’s broader strategy to establish itself as a leader in the professional studio production market.
Runway AI Expand Video feature
This innovative tool is an outpaint function for videos. For those unfamiliar, outpainting is a renowned technique that allows users to change the aspect ratio or zoom in on an image easily.
However, Expand Video has brought this feature to video, making it an essential tool for content creators and video editors.
The Expand Video feature enables seamless conversion of videos from portrait to landscape mode and also allows users to enhance their videos by adding extra content around the edges if it was not properly framed initially.
Expand Video feature availability
The Expand Video feature is rolling out gradually and will soon be available to all users.
The introduction of the Expand Video feature follows a series of Runway AI’s recent technological advancements, including the release of the Gen-3 Alpha model in June and the Frames image model released last week.
