Introducing RunwayML Gen4 Aleph on WaveSpeedAI: The Future of AI Video-to-Video Transformation

The landscape of AI video editing has just taken a quantum leap forward. We’re thrilled to announce that RunwayML Gen4 Aleph is now available on WaveSpeedAI, bringing state-of-the-art in-context video editing capabilities to our platform at just $0.18 per second of generated video.

Runway’s Aleph represents a fundamental shift in how we approach video editing and transformation. Unlike traditional generative video models that create content from scratch, Aleph is specifically engineered to edit, enhance, and transform existing footage—making it an indispensable tool for filmmakers, content creators, marketers, and anyone working with video.

What is RunwayML Gen4 Aleph?

Gen4 Aleph is Runway’s breakthrough in-context video model, introduced in July 2025 and setting a new frontier for multi-task visual generation. What sets Aleph apart from competitors like Kling, Veo, and Sora is its laser focus on enhancing and transforming real footage rather than generating video from text prompts alone.

The “in-context” approach is what makes Aleph truly revolutionary. Before making any modifications, the model analyzes your existing footage to deeply understand the scene’s context—including lighting conditions, spatial arrangements, object relationships, and motion dynamics. This contextual intelligence ensures that every edit integrates seamlessly with your original footage, maintaining visual coherence and realism that was previously achievable only through painstaking manual work.

Key Features and Capabilities

Novel View Generation

Create entirely new camera angles from existing footage without reshooting. Using sophisticated spatial mapping and depth estimation, Aleph can simulate alternate viewpoints—reverse angles, over-the-shoulder shots, low angles, or aerial perspectives—as if additional cameras were on set during your original shoot.

Object Manipulation

• Add objects: Insert new elements into scenes—crowds, products, props, fireworks—with proper lighting and perspective automatically applied
• Remove objects: Eliminate unwanted elements or distracting background details from your footage
• Replace objects: Swap or retexture existing objects using simple text prompts or reference images

Environmental Transformation

Instantly shift the time of day, weather conditions, or seasonal look of any scene. Transform a sunny morning into moody dusk, add rain and fog, or change summer landscapes to winter wonderlands—all while preserving spatial structure and character positioning.

Shot Continuation

Generate seamless next shots in your video sequences. Aleph analyzes motion, lighting, and pacing to intelligently extend scenes beyond the original footage, continuing character movement, simulating camera pans, or bridging shots with smooth transitions.

Motion Transfer

Apply camera motion from one video to a new starting frame. Extract motion cues from reference footage and animate still images to match—simulating pans, zooms, or tracking shots with natural results.

Character Modification

Modify a character’s appearance—age, clothing, hairstyle, or other traits—while maintaining identity and frame-to-frame continuity throughout the edit.

Real-World Use Cases

Film and Television Production

For filmmakers, Aleph addresses challenges that traditionally required expensive reshoots or complex VFX work. Fix scene consistency and continuity issues, generate missing coverage, or create reverse shots without bringing cast and crew back to set. As industry analysts note, the question isn’t whether tools like Aleph will become standard in production workflows—it’s how quickly the industry will adapt.

Marketing and Advertising

Brands can dramatically improve their marketing materials with the ability to shift camera angles, manipulate lighting, add text overlays, and transform product shots without reshooting. Create multiple versions of the same commercial for different markets or seasons without returning to production.

Documentary and Archival Work

Enhance historical or archival footage and create missing shots that bridge narrative gaps. Aleph has already begun transforming documentary production workflows for professionals working with limited source material.

Content Creation and Social Media

For creators producing short-form content, Aleph offers speed and flexibility that’s revolutionary for rapid prototyping and creative experimentation. Generate professional-quality transformations with minimal technical barriers.

Gaming and Interactive Media

Game developers can generate, remove, or manipulate visual assets without tedious 3D modeling, adding or enhancing VFX to speed up development workflows significantly.
