AI Video Tools: Core — Runway, Sora & More

This course shows how to create and edit video with generative AI tools like Runway and Sora. Learners practice text- and image-to-video, editing, and motion, while understanding limits and rights. They leave able to produce short-form AI video for real use cases.

What this course covers

The course runs across 10 topics, each one a short adaptive session rather than a recorded lecture. The tutor explains the idea, works an example, checks understanding, and adjusts the next step to the answer given.

Introduction to AI Video Generation and Core Workflows — Understand the capabilities, limits, and rights associated with generative AI video tools. Set up the workspace for hands-on creation.
Text-to-Video Generation in Runway — Write effective text prompts to generate high-quality video clips from scratch, adjusting settings like aspect ratio and motion intensity.
Image-to-Video Generation and Camera Controls — Upload source images to guide the visual style and use advanced camera motion controls (pan, zoom, orbit) to animate static assets.
Advanced Editing with Runway Motion Brush — Isolate specific areas of an image using the Motion Brush tool to apply controlled, localized movement within a scene.
Prompting and Scene Control in Sora — Explore Sora's capabilities for generating complex scenes with multiple characters, specific motion types, and detailed background physics.
Video-to-Video Style Transfer and Editing — Apply generative styles to existing video footage and perform AI-driven edits like inpainting, outpainting, and background removal.
Managing Temporal Consistency and Artifacts — Learn techniques to minimize visual glitching, maintain character consistency across shots, and work around current AI video limitations.
Structuring and Pacing Short-Form AI Video — Plan transitions, match visual pacing, and combine multiple generated clips into a coherent narrative flow for social media or marketing.
Hands-On Capstone: Producing a Short-Form Video — Apply your skills to conceptualize, generate, edit, and export a 15-second AI-generated video based on a real-world creative brief.
Licensing, Copyright, and Responsible AI Video Use — Navigate commercial rights, copyright considerations for AI-generated outputs, and ethical best practices for publishing synthetic media.
