Runway Expands Workflows With New Pipeline Tools

Runway has broadened its Workflows feature with new compositing, alpha, HDR, and depth map options, letting creators handle more post-production steps without leaving the platform.

Runway announced an expansion of its Workflows tool, adding a set of production-oriented features aimed at users who want to manage more of their video pipeline directly inside the platform rather than exporting to separate software. According to the company's announcement, the update brings compositing, alpha channel support, HDR, Depth Map, and RGB Depth options into Workflows. These are staples of traditional visual effects and editing pipelines, typically used to isolate elements, adjust dynamic range, or extract depth information for compositing and post-processing work. By folding these capabilities into Workflows, Runway appears to be positioning the tool as a more complete stop for creators who previously had to move footage or generated assets into other software to handle compositing or depth-based effects. Consolidating these steps could streamline projects that mix AI-generated video with more conventional post-production techniques. Runway did not detail specific technical specifications, pricing changes, or availability timelines beyond confirming the features are now live. As with many of the company's incremental tool updates, the practical impact will likely become clearer as creators begin testing the new options in real workflows.
