About Runway Gen-4.5

Runway Gen-4.5 is Runway's established image-to-video model with a distinctive aesthetic quality, the model that built Runway's reputation for cinematic output. It's particularly strong on polished, brand-quality visuals and animation of still images, often producing more "designed" and stylistically distinct output than the more photorealistic Veo or Sora.

Runway Gen-4.5 is the right pick for branded content, music video sequences, animation of brand assets, fashion campaign video, and any creative work where a distinct cinematic aesthetic matters more than maximum photorealism. The model is accessed on DesignerBox through Runware (the only path on the platform, not available through fal.ai).

On DesignerBox, Runway Gen-4.5 costs 15 credits per second at 720p. Durations of 5 or 10 seconds. Available aspect ratios with exact dimension pairs: 1280×720 (16:9), 720×1280 (9:16), 1104×832 (4:3), 832×1104 (3:4), 960×960 (1:1). Available on Premium plan and above.
