Capability profile

Operator guidance

Current Runway flagship for video generation. Standard ($0.36/s, 720p) or Standard 1080p ($0.40/s) for production-quality work. Mini ($0.16/s, 720p) for cost-sensitive T2V/I2V pipelines that don't need 4K or 1080p. Standard 4K ($1.50/s) is the most expensive option in the Runway lineup — reserve for projects where 4K is required. For I2V-only at minimum cost, Gen-4 Turbo ($0.05/s) remains relevant. For T2V/I2V without audio at lower cost, Gen-4.5 ($0.12/s) is an alternative. Seedance 2 supersedes Gen-4.5 as the default recommendation for new Runway projects as of mid-2026: it adds V2V mode, native audio, 4K output, and up to 15s clips.

Use cases

• Premium T2V and I2V for flagship-quality video production
• Long-form clips (up to 15s) where duration ceiling matters
• 4K video generation for high-resolution production pipelines
• Video-conditioned generation (reference video for motion/style guidance)
• Audio-visual content generation (native audio support)

Limitations

• Standard tier expensive at $0.36/s (720p) relative to Gen-4 alternatives
• Standard 4K at $1.50/s is the most expensive video generation tier in the registry
• V2V capability not fully documented — editing behavior vs. style-conditioning unclear
• Native audio quality not independently benchmarked as of 2026-07-02
• Mini tier limited to 480p/720p with 64-credit minimum per generation
• Fast tier limited to 480p/720p
• Architecture and training details not publicly disclosed
