Runway Aleph 2.0 is the next generation of in-context AI video editing - built to transform real footage with simple prompts. Change camera angles, rewrite lighting, add or remove objects, and direct cinematic shots from any clip.
Runway Aleph is an in-context AI video model - the first of its kind to truly understand existing footage and rewrite it from natural-language prompts. Instead of generating video from scratch, Runway Aleph edits real clips: it changes camera angles, transforms lighting and scenes, isolates subjects, and swaps objects, all while preserving the original look, motion, and continuity. Aleph 2.0 is the next-generation release, launching in Picsart end of May 2026.
Edit real footage with Runway Aleph
Runway Aleph 2.0 turns any clip into a creative canvas. Drop in your footage, describe the change you want, and Aleph rewrites only the frames you ask for - lighting, props, people, weather, time of day, while keeping shadows, reflections, and motion consistent. It's the closest thing to a director's chair, fully powered by AI available in the Picsart AI Video Generator and AI Playground.
What you can do with Runway Aleph 2.0
Generate close-ups, wide shots, over-the-shoulder views, or drone-like perspectives from a single prompt. Runway Aleph 2.0 invents the angle and keeps the scene continuous.
New camera angles in a single prompt
Reshoot any scene from any angle without a second take. Runway Aleph 2.0 generates cinematic perspectives: close-ups, wide masters, over-the-shoulder reverses, even drone-style sweeps, from a single descriptive prompt. The subject, lighting, and world stay locked; only the camera changes.
Transform lighting and scenes with Runway Aleph
Runway Aleph 2.0 rewrites the look of any clip - turn morning into golden hour, summer into winter, or studio into street. Lighting adjusts across the whole frame: shadows reorient, highlights warm or cool, and reflections update so the new look feels shot, not filtered.

Runway Aleph 2.0 FAQ
Runway Aleph is an in-context AI video model that edits existing footage from natural-language prompts. Unlike text-to-video generators that create clips from scratch, Aleph rewrites real video - changing camera angles, lighting, objects, and scenes while preserving the original motion and continuity. Runway Aleph 2.0 is the next-generation release.
Runway Aleph 2.0 is coming to Picsart end of May 2026. It will be available through the AI Video Generator and the AI Playground, where you can use it alongside other leading video models like Veo, Sora, and Kling.
You can edit any clip with text prompts - generate new camera angles, transform lighting, add or remove objects, swap subjects with a clean background, change weather and time of day, and apply motion from one clip to another. Aleph is built for cinematic, in-context edits that look filmed rather than generated.
Most AI video models generate video from text or a still image. Runway Aleph is in-context: it takes your existing footage and rewrites parts of it on demand, preserving the original look, motion, and continuity. That makes it ideal for post-production, reshoots, and creative editing workflows where the source video matters.
Each Runway Aleph generation is up to 5 seconds. For longer pieces, you can chain multiple Aleph edits together within the AI Video Generator or pair Aleph with other Picsart video tools for extended sequences.
Yes. When Runway Aleph 2.0 launches, it will be available in the Picsart AI Playground alongside other leading video models, so you can compare Aleph outputs side by side with Veo, Sora, Kling, and more on the same prompt.
No. Runway Aleph 2.0 is driven entirely by natural-language prompts. Describe the change - "make it golden hour", "remove the car", "shoot from above" - and Aleph rewrites the relevant frames. No timelines, no masking, no keyframing required.
