Domain knowledge for Runway — workflow patterns, data models, and gotchas for your AI agent.

Runway

Runway provides AI media generation: text-to-image, image-to-video, video upscaling, and character performance. Each capability has specific models; outputs are generated asynchronously or in real time.

Data Model

  • Organization — account context; billing and usage.
  • Generations — images or videos from prompts; may be async (poll for status).
  • Models — per capability: gen4_image, gen4_turbo, veo3.1, gen4_aleph, act_two, etc.

Gotchas

  • Model selection: Image, video, upscale, and character tools each accept different models—match capability to model (e.g. gen4_image for stills, gen4_turbo/veo family for motion). Vendor model lists evolve quickly.
  • Prompt length: Generation prompts are capped at 1000 UTF-16 code units (not plain byte length). Long marketing copy or multi-scene briefs must be shortened before calling text-to-image or video tools.
  • Aspect ratios are model-specific: gen4_image and gemini_2.5_flash accept different ratio sets; using a gen4 ratio like 1920:1080 with gemini_2.5_flash returns a 400 validation error. Use colon form (1024:1024), not 1024x1024, unless the API lists both.
  • gen4_image_turbo: requires 1-3 reference_image_uris on text-to-image; register HTTPS uploads when refs are not already on Runway.
  • Async tasks: generation tools return Runway task objects (id, status, output when complete). Poll task status by id until SUCCEEDED, or pass wait_for_completion=true on the task read.
  • Credits: insufficient balance returns a structured insufficient_credits outcome, not a generic failure.
  • Async video: Long renders finish asynchronously; wait for completion status before expecting URLs or assets.
  • Compatibility: Major vendor revisions can change defaults; keep prompts aligned with the model family you select.
