Pro tip or common mistake to avoid
One of the most common mistakes I see creators make is over-relying on autopilot settings. While Runway's AI is incredibly powerful, it's still a machine – and it can make mistakes. Always take a close look at your footage and make adjustments as needed to achieve the look and feel you want.
