Maybe video models can’t do all the problems. Can they do all the problems that are valuable to narrative media creators? What about business?
Odds seem high. “Solve all the problems” can mean “solve all the valuable problems.”
Runway’s biggest obstacle is not scientific. They have to convince VCs to not index on all AI startups - a historically winning strategy in finance - and instead focus capital on the two leaders in any race, at any cost, because 5x $200m investments will fail by being not enough money instead of too much. Runway needs billions of dollars to do what they are doing!

This wows me as a lay person, but can anyone who's worked in mo-cap tell why or why not this should impress me?
Tangent: on this webpage, their choice to have so many videos autoplay saturates my USB 3 dock, and breaks audio sync on the video that I actually want to play. I think that's a first for me.
The product looks pretty great though.
