# Runway Aleph 2.0

Revising a trailer take whose timing already works

- **Availability**: available
- **Where it runs**: hosted
- **Costs**: October 2026 listed rate: 28 credits per generated second, with a 56-credit minimum. API credits cost $0.01 each. ProRes or PNG-sequence output adds 5 credits per second; Edit Studio reserves these exports for Max, Unlimited (Legacy) and Enterprise plans. Budget separately for keyframe image iterations.
- **Adult content policy**: restricted

Aleph 2.0 makes sense when a trailer take already has the timing you want and needs a visual revision. Edit Studio lets you preview an edited keyframe before applying it through the footage, giving you a concrete starting point for a background, lighting or wardrobe change. Keep the original and inspect the entire result: a successful revision must also preserve the details you already approved. Use a conventional editor for exact cuts, subtitles and logos. For adult-game work, its role is limited to footage permitted by Runway's policy; nudity and explicit sex are prohibited.

## Commercial use & license

Proprietary hosted model. Runway's service terms and plan conditions govern access and use; no downloadable model-weight license is established.

## Adult content rules

Runway prohibits adult nudity and sexually explicit content on its hosted service. It may also limit sexually suggestive content, including lingerie.

[Read the policy](https://runway.com/safety/usage-policy)

## What you need

Edit Studio needs a source video longer than 2 seconds and shorter than 30 seconds, at 480p–1080p and 24–30fps, with a conventional aspect ratio and no more than 10 cuts. For the API, use aleph2 and check its separate video-to-video input specification. Select the output format when generating.

Ranks are recommendations for the task described, based on reviewed documentation. Model ranks cover non-explicit development work. We have not run practical benchmarks. Check content policies and commercial terms separately. [How the ranks work](https://bestadultgames.io/en/developers/methodology.md)

## Why consider it

- Preview a keyframe edit before generating the revised clip
- Guide background, lighting and wardrobe changes with text or images
- Deliver ProRes or PNG sequences for an editing pipeline

## Tradeoffs to plan for

- Needs source footage that fits the input limits
- Unrequested details can still change
- Nudity and explicit sex are prohibited

The tier reflects documented fit for the workflow described here and availability. No numeric score or hands-on performance results are provided.
