Layering AI Video – A New Workflow Test

I had an idea... what if I could take **Runway’s Video-to-Video**, push it to its most **realistic** results, and then layer that with **Restyle Video and Magnific** to refine the output even further? So I ran this test using a **three-step process** 1. **First pass through Runway Video-to-Video** - Used the original video as input - Entered a descriptive text prompt - Set Structure Transformation to 10 for the most realistic results 2. **Refined the output using Magnific** - Took the first frame of the Video 1 output - Used *Mystic 2.5* with Structure Reference at 50 to maintain realism - Upscaled the result for higher quality 3. **Ran the refined image through Runway Restyle Video** - Used the upscaled frame as input - Applied Restyle Video to transform specific elements while keeping the structure intact The final setup had three versions of the video: - **Top:** Original video - **Bottom:** First Runway Video-to-Video pass (prompt + Structure Transformation at 10) - **Middle:** The refined version using Magnific’s structure reference before applying Restyle Video (Structure Transformation at 3) I also tested **Runway Act 1** for generating lip sync/face moveents, but it didn’t work on this output Maybe too much movement? So I tried **Sync.so** instead It’s not perfect, but it does a solid job and is super easy to use ### Key Takeaways - Structure Transformation at 10 creates **crazy realistic results** - Restyle Video lets you fine-tune and modify elements **without losing the original structure** - Magnific’s Mystic 2.5 with Structure Reference at 50 is a great way to **lock in realism before upscaling** This is what’s exciting about AI video It’s not just about using one tool - it’s about stacking the right ones together to push creative possibilities further PS: I’m testing AI workflows like this daily — follow for more inspo 🔥
