Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite on Runway Dev

October 1st, 2026 - Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite (grok_imagine_1_5_lite) is now available on Runway Dev. A faster, lower-cost version of Grok Imagine Video 1.5 for generating videos from text or a start-frame image. Text-to-video takes ratio as width:height sizes across 480p, 720p, and 1080p (for example 848:480, 1280:720, 1904:1072). Image-to-video uses a single first frame (promptImage) with ratio of auto_480p, auto_720p, or auto_1080p; output aspect ratio follows the input image. 1080p is rendered at 720p and upscaled. Durations are 1–15 seconds. Image and audio references are not supported — use grok_imagine_1_5 for those. Billed at 2 credits per second at 480p, 3 at 720p, and 14 at 1080p, plus 1 credit for an image-to-video start frame. Use the text to video and image to video endpoints to get started.

Eleven v4 on Runway Dev

September 30th, 2026 - Eleven v4 (eleven_v4) is now available on Runway Dev. Generate expressive speech with audio tags like [laughs], [whispers], and [pause] in the script. Scripts can be up to 2,500 characters, using the same Runway preset voices as Eleven v3. Billed at 2.2 credits per 1,000 characters until October 12, 2026 PT, then 5 credits per 1,000 characters, with a 1 credit minimum. Use the text to speech endpoint to get started.

Seedance 2.5 draft mode

September 28th, 2026 - Seedance 2.5 (seedance2_5) now supports draft mode. Pass draft: true on text to video, image to video, or video to video for a 480p preview, billed at the 480p rate. When that task succeeds, enhance it to 1080p by sending draftTaskId alone to text to video. The enhancement reuses the preview’s prompt, references, duration, seed, and audio setting, and is billed at the 1080p rate. Previews can be enhanced within 7 days of creation. See Seedance 2.5 draft mode.

Enhance Frame Rate on Runway Dev

September 17th, 2026 - Enhance Frame Rate (enhance_frame_rate) is now available on Runway Dev. Convert a video to a target frame rate of 24, 25, 30, 48, 50, 60, 120, 23_98 (23.98 fps), 29_97 (29.97 fps), or 59_94 (59.94 fps). Inputs can be at most 300 seconds. Billed at 1 credit per 2 seconds. Use the video upscale endpoint with model: "enhance_frame_rate" to get started.

Ruby ACEScg sequences are now referenced to the source

September 12th, 2026 - The hdr_exr_acescg_sequence_1_3 and hdr_exr_acescg_sequence_2_0 outputs of /v1/video_to_hdr are now built from the source plate: the plate brought into ACEScg through the inverse ACES SDR (Rec.709) Output Transform, with the highlight detail Ruby recovers added on top. Read with the stock ACES - ACEScg input transform, the ACES SDR view reproduces the source and the ACES HDR views render the same scene with the recovered highlights. Previously these sequences were the HDR10 picture inverted through the ACES 1000-nit Output Transform, which matched hdr10 in an HDR view but lifted midtones and desaturated the image in any SDR view. The colorimetry.json sidecar now records construction: plate-referenced. Gen-4.5 ACEScg outputs are unchanged.

Alpha channel support on /v1/video_to_hdr

September 11th, 2026 - Ruby now preserves the alpha channel of a source video on /v1/video_to_hdr. Sources with alpha (ProRes 4444, WebM with alpha, RGBA codecs) are detected automatically; no request parameter is needed. The EXR deliveries (hdr_exr_sequence, hdr_exr_acescg_sequence_1_3, hdr_exr_acescg_sequence_2_0) write the alpha as the A channel, and hdr_prores is delivered as ProRes 4444 regardless of proresProfile, the only tier with an alpha plane. The alpha is passed through unchanged and is not premultiplied. hdr10 and hlg cannot carry alpha and deliver the video without it. Pricing is unchanged.

GPT Image 2.5 on Runway Dev

September 8th, 2026 - OpenAI’s GPT Image 2.5 Flare (gpt_image_2_5_flare) and GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst (gpt_image_2_5_sunburst) are now available on Runway Dev. Both generate images from a prompt of up to 32,000 characters, accept up to 16 reference images (with optional prompt-referenceable tags), support 30 width:height ratios across 1K, 2K, and 4K tiers plus an auto resolution, and take outputCount from 1–10. quality is low, medium, high (the default), xhigh, or max. Sunburst can return transparent backgrounds with background: "transparent"; Flare supports opaque and auto only. Billed at 1–76 credits per image by quality and resolution, plus 1 credit per reference image per generated image. Use the text to image endpoint to get started.

MiniMax H3 Max on Runway Dev

September 3rd, 2026 - MiniMax H3 Max (h3_max) is now available on Runway Dev. Generate videos from a text prompt or a start-frame image, with an optional last-frame keyframe. Durations are 5–15 seconds at 480p or 768p. Use promptExpansionMode to keep the prompt as written (disabled), apply a short rewrite (balanced, the default), or spend extra time rewriting (quality). Billed at 5 credits per second at 480p and 8 credits per second at 768p. Use the text to video and image to video endpoints to get started.

ACEScg EXR delivery

August 31st, 2026 - HDR outputs can now be delivered as scene-referred ACEScg OpenEXR sequences — in both ACES 1.3 and ACES 2.0 variants, with outputFormat: "hdr_exr_acescg_sequence_1_3" or "hdr_exr_acescg_sequence_2_0" matching your pipeline’s config version — on /v1/video_to_hdr and on Gen-4.5 HDR generations. The delivered picture is inverted through the matching ACES Output Transform (Rec.2100 PQ, 1000-nit) into the ACEScg working space, so the frames drop straight into ACES-configured comps: read them with the stock ACES - ACEScg input transform and your ACES viewing pipeline reproduces the delivered picture, with the same zip contract as hdr_exr_sequence (colorimetry and provenance sidecars, audio.wav when the source has audio) and the same 20 / 40 credits-per-second rate as the other HDR profiles.

WAN 3.0 on Runway Dev

August 26th, 2026 - WAN 3.0 (wan3) is now available on Runway Dev. Generate up to 30 seconds of video with native audio from a text prompt or a start-frame image. WAN 3.0 is built for reference-driven shots — pass images, video, or audio to keep characters and style consistent, or use first and last keyframes to lock the edit. Output at 480p, 720p, or 1080p. Billed at 5 credits per second at 480p, 10 at 720p, and 20 at 1080p. Use the text to video and image to video endpoints to get started.

Muse Image on Runway Dev

August 26th, 2026 - Meta Muse Image (muse_image) is now available on Runway Dev. Generate images from text with optional reference images — when references are provided, the model edits and combines them as the prompt describes. Supports prompts up to 4,000 characters, up to 10 reference images, outputCount from 1–10, and eight width:height ratios plus auto. Billed at 1 credit per image, multiplied by outputCount. Use the text to image endpoint to get started.

SDR to HDR in Runway API

August 20th, 2026 - Ruby (ruby) is now available via the Runway API. Convert any SDR video — uploads or generations from any model — into true HDR, delivered as 10-bit HEVC in HDR10 (outputFormat: "hdr10", the default) or HLG ("hlg") with BT.2020 signaling and measured HDR10 metadata, as a BT.2020 + PQ ProRes .mov editorial mezzanine ("hdr_prores"; tier selectable with proresProfile — 422, 422 HQ, or 4444, defaulting to 422 HQ), or as a .zip of half-float OpenEXR frames carrying the upconverted signal as linear BT.2020 light for compositing ("hdr_exr_sequence"; the zip includes colorimetry and provenance sidecars, plus audio.wav when the source has audio). The conversion preserves the source’s own pixels and audio: brightness is extended into HDR headroom with a bounded, color-preserving grade, and nothing is re-rendered. Inputs must be SDR (HDR-tagged videos are rejected), at most 30 seconds, and under 4096 pixels per side. Billed at 20 credits per second, or 40 credits per second when the source is larger than 4 megapixels (roughly 4K). Use the /v1/video_to_hdr endpoint to get started.

HDR output formats for Gen-4.5 and Aleph 2.0

August 20th, 2026 - Gen-4.5 text to video and image to video can now deliver directly in HDR and post-production formats via outputFormat: hdr10 and hlg streaming HDR, sdr_rec709_10bit for 10-bit SDR grading, and mastering-grade hdr_pq_12bit_master (12-bit lossless), hdr_prores (ProRes 422 HQ), hdr_png_sequence (bit-exact 16-bit frames), and hdr_exr_sequence (half-float OpenEXR frames as linear BT.2020 light, compositor-native). HDR outputs are true HDR renders — graded into BT.2020 with measured HDR10 metadata — not tone-mapped afterward. Aleph 2.0 adds sdr_rec709_10bit for 10-bit SDR delivery; to deliver an Aleph edit in HDR, chain it through /v1/video_to_hdr. These formats are being enabled progressively per account. Non-mp4 formats add 5 credits per second for prores and png_sequence, or 20 credits per second for 10-bit and deeper profiles (including EXR), rising to 40 credits per second when the output is larger than 4 megapixels (roughly 4K). See Generate HDR video to get started.

Grok Imagine Video 1.5 on Runway Dev

August 7th, 2026 - Grok Imagine Video 1.5 (grok_imagine_1_5) is now available on Runway Dev. Generate videos from text or a start-frame image with optional native audio, prompt-addressable image references, and audio references. Text-to-video supports ratio values 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 3:2, and 2:3, with resolution of 480p, 720p, or 1080p (default 480p). Durations are 1–15 seconds. Up to 7 image references and 3 audio references (each 3–15 seconds); audio references require at least one image reference, and requests with image references are capped at 720p. Image-to-video uses a single first frame (promptImage); output aspect ratio follows the input image. Billed at 10 credits per second at 480p, 16 at 720p, and 29 at 1080p, plus 1 credit per image or audio reference (including an image-to-video start frame).

Generate cinematic videos from text, images, or video with optional generated audio, larger reference budgets, and durations from 4–30 seconds at 480p or 720p. Text-to-video can run from references alone (omit promptText when at least one image, video, or audio reference is provided). Video-to-video accepts mode: "reference" (default) or mode: "extend" — extend requires promptText and matches the input aspect ratio, so ratio may not be provided. Reference limits: up to 30 images, 10 videos, and 10 audio clips (combined reference video and audio duration must stay under 30 seconds; video-to-video reserves one video slot for promptVideo). Input videos must be at least 480p. At 480p, ratios 864:496 and 496:864 deliver standard 854×480 / 480×854 output rather than the literal pixel counts. Billed at 30 credits per second of output at 720p and 20 at 480p, plus 15 (720p) or 10 (480p) credits per second of input and reference video; reference images and audio are free.
