## Access, costs and outputs

Documentation checked: 2026-10-28. Recheck due: 2026-11-27.

Runway combines generative creative tools with Edit Studio and Aleph editing of existing clips.

- **Availability:** Available. Public creative product; feature/model access and eligibility vary. A plan's access to one model does not establish all models are available everywhere.

- **How to use it:** Web app. Reviewed browser workflow; media is uploaded to the cloud service.

- **Processing and data:** Vendor cloud. Cloud generation/editing of supplied prompts and footage. Check source-media permissions and current account terms before upload.

- **Costs and limits:** One-time free credits; paid recurring use

- **Outputs:** Generated images/video and edited footage; Aleph 2 documents up-to-30-second 1080p input editing, not a guarantee of perfect source preservation.

Free supplies one-time exploratory credits rather than recurring generation. Models, editing, watermarks and exports differ by plan. Preservation and quality are untested publisher claims. Documentation reviewed, not a render test.

Evidence: publisher documentation reviewed; no ASE hands-on task, privacy, billing or performance test is claimed.
