Runway AI video generation now built into DaVinci Resolve

Runway has launched a native integration with DaVinci Resolve Studio, allowing editors to access the company's AI video and image generation tools directly within the editing application. Users can generate, restyle, and import clips to their timeline without switching between separate applications. The integration is aimed at reducing friction for professional editors who already work within Resolve's ecosystem.

Google has introduced Gemini 3.8 Live with Live Avatar, a new capability that adds near real-time visual presence to its conversational AI. The feature pairs Gemini's existing live voice interaction with an animated on-screen avatar that responds as the conversation unfolds. This marks a step toward more visually grounded AI interaction, moving beyond audio-only exchanges.

Midjourney has rolled out a set of interface updates on its alpha site, including live style previews that show how a prompt looks across different styles before committing to one. The update also brings thumbnail previews and refinements to the Edit workflow. These changes reflect the team's ongoing work to make the image generation and editing experience more interactive and informed.

Runway's WorldPrompt system powers its Gen World Models 2 (GWM 2), enabling real-time generation of video and audio through persistent context and timed actions. Rather than producing discrete clips, the model maintains a continuous understanding of an environment as it unfolds. The approach marks a notable shift in how world models can be steered interactively.

Adobe is bringing Lightroom and Photoshop editing capabilities directly into Google Gemini, allowing users to work with its tools without leaving the AI platform. The move extends Adobe's broader strategy of embedding its software into third-party AI environments, following earlier integrations with ChatGPT, Claude, Slack, and Microsoft Copilot.
