Changing the angle of a shot after it’s already made? Yes please. Nano Banana is awesome, but don’t sleep on @runwayml Aleph, this one lets you flip camera angles from any existing clip like magic. Every single shot here had its angle transformed with Aleph, then upscaled crispy

It's incredible that Runway's Aleph can essentially totally replace an expensive moco rig, but I think it also sort of invents something totally new. I’m not sure the hummingbird shot in this piece would have even been possible without CGI before Aleph🤔 Today's challenge: add

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Runway Aleph and its video editing capabilities.

Unlike traditional AI video generators that create content from scratch, Runway Aleph is an in-context video model that specializes in editing existing footage. It can add, remove, and transform objects, generate new camera angles, modify lighting, and apply style transfers to real video content through simple text prompts.
Runway Aleph supports a maximum duration of 5 seconds per generation with a 64MB file size limit. The system automatically uses the first 5 seconds of longer videos, and you can select specific portions using the trimming interface. This limitation ensures optimal processing quality and speed.
Aleph supports MP4, MOV, and AVI video formats. Output resolutions include 16:9 (1280x720px), 9:16 (720x1280px), 1:1 (960x960px), 4:3 (1104x832px), 3:4 (832x1104px), and 21:9 (1584x672px). Videos that don't match these ratios are automatically cropped.
Runway Aleph costs 15 credits per second of video processing. It's available to users on Standard plans and higher, with unlimited generations in Explore Mode. The model is currently available to select partners and enterprise clients, with broader rollout planned.
Aleph can perform a wide range of edits including object manipulation (adding/removing items), environmental changes (weather, seasons), character transformations (age, appearance), camera angle generation, dynamic relighting, style transfers, and VFX integration - all guided by natural language prompts.
Effective prompts should include an action verb (add, remove, change, replace, re-light) and a clear description of the desired transformation. For example: 'Add fireworks to this scene' or 'Change the camera to a wide angle that shows the entire person'. Simplicity and specificity work best.
Yes, you can accompany your input video with reference images to influence color, style, lighting, and visual elements. Use prompts like 'Re-light the video using the lighting from the image' or 'Change the color of the house to match the image colors'.
Aleph currently has no audio processing capabilities, no timeline editing features, and no built-in branding or export presets. It's optimized for short-form content (5 seconds max) and focuses primarily on visual transformation rather than comprehensive video editing workflows.
