For now, for me at the moment it's horses for courses from my experiences on both.

Runway:

Positives:
Greater Realism, Variety, more Natural.

Negatives:
WAY too expensive. Can't choose input images to aid in generations. Simply cannot make the camera go like 'really quick' at all. Can only choose 5 or 10 seconds and that's it...

Luma:

Positives:

Way more value, Way more variety I found - I can make it do warp speed really well, Runway wont move fast no matter what you type. Lots of flexibility for unlimited video lengths with start and end frames.

Negatives:

Auto-prompt vs not is still hit and miss no matter how well you can write a prompt. Generations are a bit slow. Video quality is markedly worse in comparison.

Sora is still miles ahead and remember, we got those samples like last year? I'm sure it's even further ahead now, but stoked to see what Best-in-Class Midjourney will do!

As an ad film maker i do all my storyboards in Runway....its the best till now

I have used Luma - it's fun. It still has some way to go - I used seed images for some interesting and humorous results. For example, I put in a picture of my nephew and wanted Luma to create a video of him putting on sunglasses. Luma gave him three arms to help him put on his sunglasses :) It's just a matter of time before these video generators become seamless. Looking forward to unleashing my creativity

A midjourney sref type function for video would be great

I want to know how these AI tools perform with *‘Image to Video’.* I don’t really care about *‘Text to Video’* because I don’t have much control over the scene with that.

[epytaffskitchenstink]

I never get anything useable. I don't know why I would pay, plus it's a lot of time wasted.

[chariotsx]

I hope both Runway and Luma will add a lip-syncing feature, so that we’ll be able to create scenes for AI movies.

I feel they both do things a bit differently, however, Runway has been keeping up with a ton of my prompts. It does help that I am a creative partner I get unlimited prompts, but I have been with them since the beta and the leaps and bounds gen 3 is to gen 2 as far as text to vid is incredible. Now I do miss the img2vid which I hear may be coming in the near future, can't wait for that. Now don't forget they had one of the best vid2vid models in Gen 1 which allowed us to add an image for style transfer, if they add an upgraded version to this, it's going to be hard to compete with them. The closest I've seen to this was Haiper. I like a lot of motion in Luma, but the biggest drawback for me was the quality wasn't always there. I'm sure they'll upgrade that eventually so it's exciting to see the next round of upgraded models drop. For now, Runway has been my jam. Don't forget that once you generate your character inside of Gen 3, you get the option to add lip sync to the video clip. I tested this against Live Portrait and I got some pretty good results in G3. Granted I did only use the HF demo for LP.

Amazing video! Very interesting. And I loved the new scenery.

[AIFailsFun-lol]

I believe Luma is better than Runway for several reasons. First, Luma generates better physics, allowing for a more realistic portrayal of the world and its characters. Additionally, Luma creates more fluid and organic character movements, giving the creations a sense of life and naturality. While it sometimes produces rather absurd results, I think this is just the beginning. In the future, Luma has immense potential to improve and become an even more effective tool. 🚀✨

We need an open source or local version made for AI video generations.

"Great comparison, AI Samson! I've been considering both Luma and Runway for my projects and this breakdown is super helpful. For those who have used both, which one do you find more intuitive for beginners? Also, any tips on getting the best results from the tool you prefer would be much appreciated!"

[Mikofficiel]

Hello I am a new subscriber, thank you for all these very interesting videos. I noticed that you hardly ever blinked, I conclude that you must be an AI yourself hahaha thanks for the videos ;)

[ProMetty]

I was saying why the video is at the end... Is a Premier😂😂😂

[AIART-se]

Very informative, thanks for sharing 🙂

[truepilgrimm]

Clearly Runway won but some draws Luma won. This was review was a bit biased.

[Alanx_ai]

The best AI video for me is Luma Dream Machine. The again, I have zero interest in replicating reality.

[tonyelbows]

this video itself is AI, isn't it?

[qbjnzhi]

It seems that the comparison is deliberately unfair.
LUMA DM performs much worse in text2video mode compared to its own pic2video. In my experience this is true, and I have seen virtually no examples of good text2video work from DM. It is clear that you need to compare not the worst, but the best possible implementation.
As for the videos from SORA, they presented exclusively advertising examples, selected from thousands of unsuccessful ones, and even with obvious post-processing. Comparing this with a single and unretouched generation is a waste of time.
