Runway Gen-3 and its related models bring AI video generation and editing into one seamless workflow: create video from text or images, intelligently extend clip length, and use Aleph for fine motion control and visual effects. Used by filmmakers, marketers, and creators for quick drafts, storyboards, and polished short-form video—all without high-end hardware, from any device.
Create high-quality video from text or image prompts—up to 4K, multiple styles and frame rates, 3–16 second clips, and multiple variants per prompt.
Use this feature →Extend video forward or backward with seamless, style-consistent content and natural motion continuation.
Use this feature →Professional motion control, style transfer, color grading, VFX, compositing, and 3D integration with Runway Aleph.
Use this feature →End-to-end workflow from concept to final video; a full toolset for generation, editing, and effects; real-time collaboration and versioning; and a cloud-native setup so you can create from anywhere without heavy hardware.
Gen-3 delivers high-quality video with strong temporal consistency, fine motion control, and style preservation—plus powerful style transfer and consistency across shots.
Generate: Text-to-video with natural language, style presets (cinematic, animation, documentary, experimental), motion parameters (camera speed, angle, path), and mood. Image-to-video animates a single image while keeping its style, character motion, and scene extension. Output up to 4K, 24/30/60fps, 3–16 seconds, with multiple variants per prompt.
Extend: Add length forward or backward with seamless joins, strict style consistency, and natural motion continuation. Use for lengthening shorts, pace adjustment, loop creation, or filling gaps. Modes include smart prediction, direction-guided extend, multi-step extend, and quality preview.
Aleph: Camera path and object animation control, physics-aware motion, time remapping. Visual effects: style transfer, color grading, dynamic effects (rain, snow, particles), and scene transitions. Composition: layers, green-screen, 2D/3D blend, and audio sync.
Film and TV: Pre-vis, storyboards, VFX previews, and extending existing footage. Marketing and ads: Product videos, social content, brand stories, and A/B tests. Content creators: YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, education, and personal projects. Enterprise: Training, product demos, internal comms, and event highlights.
Cloud-native: Browser access, real-time cloud rendering, smart caching, and full API support. Formats: Input MP4, MOV, PNG, JPG; output MP4, ProRes, GIF; 480p to 4K; H.264/H.265. Processing: Minute-scale generation, batch jobs, queue management, and live progress tracking.
Standard: Define concept, prepare text or images, set resolution and style, generate preview, iterate, then export. Optionally refine with Aleph. Team workflow: Shared projects, version history, comments and annotations, and role-based permissions.
Prompts: Be specific about scene, action, and mood; reference directors or art styles; specify camera, motion, and lighting; use negative prompts to exclude elements. Motion: Use keyframes, speed curves, and planned camera paths; set physical constraints. Style: Use reference images, define color and atmosphere, keep texture and lighting consistent.
Automated quality checks, human review options, and user-driven improvements. Rendering and caching optimizations, efficient compression, and load balancing for fast, reliable output.
Longer video, 3D and real-time generation, deeper multimodal (audio/video/text) integration. Ecosystem growth: plugins, template libraries, training, and enterprise solutions. Applications: Virtual production, game cinematics, VR/AR, and e‑commerce product video.
Runway Gen-3 gives you a one-stop AI video solution—from simple text descriptions to professional motion and VFX—all in one platform. Whether you’re a solo creator, small team, or large organization, Runway has the tools to match. Start with Generate, Extend, or Aleph and unlock your video potential.
