What is Frames
Frames is the latest AI image generation model launched by Runway, achieving tremendous progress in style control and visual fidelity. Frames can maintain style consistency, support a wide range of creative exploration, establish a specific look for a project, and generate variations that match the user's aesthetic. Based on Frames, users can precisely design the look, feel, and atmosphere of the world they want to create, building more worlds within a larger creative workflow.
