Runway's Motion Sketch turns simple doodles into AI videos in minutes

Runway has launched Motion Sketch, a new AI feature that generates short video clips directly from simple doodles drawn over a still image. Users sketch motion arrows or shapes, and the model animates the scene. While it requires some guidance and a paid Standard account ($15/month), it significantly lowers the barrier for creating custom video content without complex text prompts, marking a major step in visual-first AI generation.
