Gen-4.5 Model to generate 720p clips for ads
Runway Video models Upgrade to use runway/gen-4.5
This page describes Runway’s Gen-4.5 video model and who chooses it. Gen-4.5 focuses on motion quality, prompt adherence and visual fidelity for short 720p clips, and it supports text-to-video plus image-to-video controls.
What it can do
- Reads images and screenshots
What people use it for
Ads and social clips
Create short 720p ad clips from a written brief or a reference image, keeping consistent camera moves and actor gestures across frames. Gen-4.5 is commonly chosen when fidelity and temporal consistency matter.
Proofs and mood tests
Generate quick 5-15 second proofs to test framing, pacing and color direction before committing a live shoot or edit. The model’s prompt adherence makes it useful for iterating visual direction rapidly.
Video-to-video edits and overlays
Apply image-to-video or video-to-video transforms to replace backgrounds, add elements, or restage a short shot while keeping original motion intact. Filmmakers use Gen-4.5 when they need controllable edits rather than fully unconstrained generations.
Why it is worth it
- High motion fidelity for short scenes and gestures.
- Strong adherence to text prompts and shot descriptions.
- Controls filmmakers expect: image-to-video and keyframe-style input.
- Included in Runway subscriptions so teams can access it alongside other models.
