Video Summary
This video demonstrates how to quickly and freely replace a product in a shot using the Runway AI Gen-4 References feature.
- Free Access: Users can perform up to 25 product replacement edits completely for free upon creating a Runway account (125 free credits, 5 credits per edit) [00:10]-[00:49].
- Simple Process: The process takes place in the “tool view” and is executed with a simple text prompt—it does not require masking or brushing [00:55]-[02:01].
- Product Image Tip: The image used as the reference for the replacement product must be a very close-up view so the design, logo, and text are clearly visible to the AI [01:18]-[01:33].
- Best Shot Composition: The Runway AI tool performs best with shots that are already close-up (like a cropped close-up headshot), where the product is prominent in the frame [02:58]-[03:14].
- Post-Editing Tip: If the resulting image needs a different aspect ratio or more background, a free outpainting tool like Pixelcut’s Uncrop can be used to expand the image [03:31]-[04:04].
