Many shots from different angles in one location
Video generation AI company Runway announced a new feature, "Sightline," on its official X account on Nov. 9 (Nov. 10 Japan time). It creates a 360-degree panorama of any location, from which users can frame and cut shots at any angle. According to Runway, the surrounding environment stays consistent in every shot.
New in Runway, Sightline. Create a 360 panorama of any location, then frame your shots from any angle, with the environment staying consistent in every one. Export your panorama for 3D to use as an environment in your scenes. Get started in App Studio at the link below. https://t.co/098wikwL2k
Panoramas can be exported for 3D
The panoramas created can be exported for 3D and used as the environment that serves as a scene's background, the company said. The post includes an introductory video of just over 40 seconds.
Offered through App Studio, with no pricing or terms given
In the post, Runway said users can get started with Sightline from App Studio. App Studio is a system that builds dedicated apps for creating images and videos when users describe in text the tool they want, and Runway released it for paid plans on Oct. 26 (Oct. 27 Japan time) (article on App Studio).
The announcement post did not state which plans can use Sightline, its pricing, the resolution of the panoramas, whether it is offered via API, or which generation model it uses. As of the morning of Nov. 12, Sightline was also not mentioned on the news, research or changelog pages of Runway's official website.
