Runway: Direct image editing with Sketch and Labels

Demo summary
The user draws an arrow and adds a label to a reference image to instruct the AI to 'pull down a branch' in the final generation.
Step-by-step
- Go to the Sketch tool
- Choose a high-contrast color like pink
- Draw a simple arrow on the reference image to indicate the desired movement
- Add a text label to the sketch for additional clarity
- Go to Export Sketch
- Generate the image as-is or add a text prompt for support
Options
- Generate using only the sketch
- Support the sketch with a text prompt
- Use the Sketch tool to create specific camera shots
Tips
- Choose a color that stands out, like pink, for the sketch markings
- Add a label to your sketch to provide the AI with more clarity on how to edit
