Runway ML

This page is auto-generated from model configurations. Last updated: 2026-09-03.

This reference lists all available Runway ML video generation models and their parameters. Use these parameter names when calling the Generation API.


Edit any video using a text prompt, with optional reference images pinned to specific moments for precise, frame-level control.

Model ID: model_runway-aleph-2

Capabilities: video2video

LLM Markdown: https://app.scenario.com/api/models/model_runway-aleph-2/markdown

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultMinMaxAllowed ValuesDescription
promptstringYes----Describe how you want the video to look or feel after editing โ€” style, atmosphere, visual changes. For example: โ€˜transform into a noir film with high contrast and rain-soaked streetsโ€™.
videofileYes----The source video to edit. Maximum 30 seconds and 16 MB. The model rewrites its visuals based on your prompt while preserving the original motion and structure.
keyframesinputs_arrayNo----Pin reference images to specific moments in the video to guide the edit at those points. Add up to 5 keyframes. Use Seconds or Position to set each oneโ€™s timing.
promptImageinputs_arrayNo----Alternative to Keyframes โ€” pin reference images to moments in the output video. Cannot be used together with Keyframes. Add up to 5 images.
outputFormatstringNomp4--mp4, prores, png_sequence, sdr_rec709_10bitDelivery format of the edited video. Aleph 2 has no HDR formats โ€” convert the result with Runway Ruby instead. ProRes returns a .mov; PNG Sequence returns a .zip of frames.
proresProfilestringNo422 HQ--422 Proxy, 422 LT, 422, 422 HQ, 4444, 4444 XQProRes codec profile. Only applies when Output Format is ProRes.
seednumberNo-04294967295-A number that locks in the randomness of the generation. Copy the seed from a result you liked to reproduce it exactly, or leave blank for a new result each time.

The Turbo version of Gen-4 delivers further enhanced speeds at a lower cost, and is a powerful model for quickly iterating ideas.

Model ID: model_runway-gen4-turbo

Capabilities: img2video

LLM Markdown: https://app.scenario.com/api/models/model_runway-gen4-turbo/markdown

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultMinMaxAllowed ValuesDescription
promptstringYes----Describe your video
imagefileYes----Image used as the first frame of the video.
aspectRatiostringNo1280:720--1584:672, 1280:720, 1104:832, 960:960, 832:1104, 720:1280Aspect ratio of the video. Ignored if first frame is provided.
durationnumberNo5210-Duration in seconds

Gen-4.5 is state-of-the-art and sets a new standard for video generation motion quality, prompt adherence and visual fidelity.

Model ID: model_runway-gen4-5

Capabilities: txt2video, img2video

LLM Markdown: https://app.scenario.com/api/models/model_runway-gen4-5/markdown

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultMinMaxAllowed ValuesDescription
promptstringYes----Describe your video
imagefileNo----Image used as the first frame of the video.
aspectRatiostringNo1280:720--1584:672, 1280:720, 1104:832, 960:960, 832:1104, 720:1280, 672:1584Aspect ratio of the video. Ignored if first frame is provided. For Text to Video, only 16:9 and 9:16 are supported.
durationnumberNo5210-Duration in seconds
outputFormatstringNomp4--mp4, prores, png_sequence, hdr10, hlg, sdr_rec709_10bit, hdr_pq_12bit_master, hdr_prores, hdr_png_sequenceDelivery format of the generated video. HDR and 10-bit formats add a credit surcharge. ProRes returns a .mov; sequence formats return a .zip of frames.
proresProfilestringNo422 HQ--422 Proxy, 422 LT, 422, 422 HQ, 4444, 4444 XQProRes codec profile. Only applies when Output Format is ProRes or HDR ProRes. HDR ProRes supports 422, 422 HQ, and 4444 only โ€” not 422 Proxy, 422 LT, or 4444 XQ.
seednumberNo-04294967295-Use a seed for reproducible results. Leave blank to use a random seed.

Convert any SDR video to HDR. Works as a post-process for videos from other models, not only Runway.

Model ID: model_runway-ruby

Capabilities: video2video

LLM Markdown: https://app.scenario.com/api/models/model_runway-ruby/markdown

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultMinMaxAllowed ValuesDescription
videofileYes----The SDR video to convert to HDR. Maximum 40 seconds and under 4096px on each side. An HDR-tagged source is rejected by Runway.
outputFormatstringNohdr10--hdr10, hlg, hdr_prores, hdr_exr_sequenceHDR delivery format. HDR10 and HLG return an .mp4; HDR ProRes a .mov; HDR EXR Sequence a .zip of frames.
proresProfilestringNo422 HQ--422, 422 HQ, 4444ProRes codec profile. Only applies when Output Format is HDR ProRes. Runway defaults to 422 HQ.
