Why Use Runway Video to Video
The tool takes a clip you already own and rewrites its look from a text prompt, running on the Gen-3 Alpha and Gen-3 Alpha Turbo models.
- Gen-3 Alpha and Gen-3 Alpha Turbo ModelsThe capability debuted in September 2024 alongside Gen-3 Alpha and Gen-3 Alpha Turbo; earlier generations such as Gen-2 never received it.
- Structure Consistency ControlOne dedicated slider governs the trade-off: keep the source clip's structure largely intact, or let the model drift toward a more abstract output.
- Preset Restyling Prompt LibraryStuck for direction? Browse Runway's Custom Presets — ready-made restyling prompts whose placeholder wording you simply overwrite with your own.
How to Use Runway Video to Video
Three documented steps take a source clip from model choice to a downloaded restyle.
Runway Video to Video Features
What the Gen-3 models actually change, how long a source clip may run, and what every second of video costs.
Character Movement and Design
The transformation goes beyond surface style — the usage guide states video-to-video can alter aspects such as character movement and design.
20-Second Processing Window
The cap sits at 20 seconds per clip; longer uploads get trimmed so only their opening 20 seconds enter the pipeline.
Per-Second Credit Cost
Expect 10 credits for each second rendered on Gen-3 Alpha, versus 5 credits per second on Turbo — your model choice is the main cost lever.
Resolution and Aspect Ratio Support
Frame sizes run 1280x768 on Alpha, while Turbo adds a portrait option at 768x1280 alongside the same 1280x768.
Retro Game Footage Restyling
Reddit users report applying the feature to restyle old game videos, showing it can handle legacy, low-fidelity source footage.
Stacking With Other AI Video Tools
A creator on X combined Runway Gen-3 video-to-video with Act One as post work, so the feature fits into multi-tool pipelines.
Runway Video to Video — FAQ
Common questions about supported models, clip length, credit costs, prompt precision, and Pollo AI billing.
Which Runway models include the video-to-video feature?
It ships with Gen-3 Alpha and Gen-3 Alpha Turbo only — Gen-2 and other earlier models never received the capability.
What is the maximum clip length the tool accepts?
The ceiling is 20 seconds per upload; anything beyond that gets cut, so only the opening 20 seconds make it into the restyle.
How many credits per second does each Gen-3 model consume?
Budget 10 credits for every second rendered on Gen-3 Alpha, or 5 credits per second on the Gen-3 Alpha Turbo variant.
Why do some results look like a mashup of photo realism and abstraction?
Reddit users warn that prompts must be very specific to avoid terrible mashups of photo realism and abstraction, and Runway's custom presets are the best examples of prompt formats that work.
How are Pollo AI credits deducted and do unused ones roll over?
Consumption depends on which tool and model you run, how long the video lasts, how many outputs you request, and the resolution you pick. Leftover subscription credits expire at the end of the billing period instead of rolling forward.
What is the refund and add-on credit policy?
A first subscription purchase can be refunded inside a 3-day window provided you satisfy the eligibility criteria. Add-on credit packs cannot be refunded, yet they keep their value indefinitely — even after your plan lapses.
