Introducing Aleph 2.0 | Runway
Runway · May 2026 · 1:13 · AI-annotated
00:00:00 / 01:13:19
Runway launch video for Aleph 2.0, a video editing feature that modifies existing footage from a reference image and a text prompt. The video opens with an 'Introducing Aleph 2.0' title over a live-action morph, then runs a long feature demo: short UI walkthroughs of the prompt bar and Edit Studio interleaved with a rapid montage of locked-off shots where objects, styles and lighting morph in place. It closes on a black tagline card and the runway wordmark.
