How It Works: Runway’s Gen-3 Alpha is designed to cater to creators at all levels, from solo artists to enterprise teams. Simply input your text or image, adjust the settings for the desired style and motion, and let Gen-3 generate high-quality videos in record time.

Limitations:

While Gen-3 Alpha is a breakthrough in video generation, it currently supports clips up to 10 seconds long. Additionally, it may struggle with complex character interactions and precise adherence to the laws of physics.
