Runway: Gen4 Turbo Image to Video
Generate dynamic videos from images using Runway Gen4 Turbo.
About
This ComfyUI workflow turns a single still image into a short, dynamic video using Runway’s Gen4 Turbo image-to-video model. It wires together four nodes: LoadImage to bring your source image into the graph, RunwayImageToVideoNodeGen4 to call the hosted Gen4 Turbo API and synthesize motion over time, SaveVideo to encode the result to a standard video file, and a MarkdownNote with links and setup guidance. Because the heavy lifting runs through the Runway partner node, the workflow stays lightweight and fast on your local machine.

Yes. The RunwayImageToVideoNodeGen4 node is a partner/API node and requires valid Runway credentials. Enter your token/key in the node’s settings and ensure outbound HTTPS access.
Use clean, high-quality images cropped to your target aspect ratio. Avoid extreme aspect ratios and cluttered backgrounds. If your output looks stretched or cropped, resize/crop the input image to match the intended video aspect.
Try lowering motion intensity or complexity in the Runway node settings, shorten the duration, and use higher-quality, well-lit source images. Subtle motion generally produces cleaner results. Re-run with small tweaks until the motion stabilizes.
Follow the partner-node requirements: run ComfyUI locally (localhost/127.0.0.1), ensure your environment allows HTTPS, and that your firewall/proxy is not blocking the Runway API. See the "About API Node" link in the workflow’s MarkdownNote for setup details.
