OpenClaw + Runway Aleph Questions

What is prompt-guided video editing?

Runway Aleph takes existing footage and retransforms its visual style or content based on a text prompt, while preserving the original motion and camera dynamics.

Does it preserve the original motion?

Yes — Aleph maintains frame-level temporal continuity, keeping camera movement, subject motion, and timing intact while changing visual style.

What styles can I apply?

Any style describable in text — watercolor, oil painting, anime, cyberpunk, vintage film, and more. The model interprets the style prompt creatively.

What input video formats are supported?

MP4 is the primary supported format. Keep source clips under the size and duration limits in the API docs for best results.

How does Aleph differ from standard Runway?

Standard Runway generates video from text or images. Aleph specifically transforms existing footage, making it an editing tool rather than a generator.

Which model ID should I use?

Choose a public model ID from the version table. Each ID exposes the endpoints shown for that version.

Does this guide configure a chat model?

No. This Model Line uses the endpoint workflow shown here and is not presented as an agent chat model.
