Runway Text to Video: Common Questions
Find answers to frequent questions about Runway Text to Video and how these models work inside Pollo AI.
Which Runway models can generate video from text?
Gen-2, Gen-3 Alpha and Gen-3 Alpha Turbo all support text-to-video. Note that Turbo only handles text plus image-to-video generation.
What clip lengths are available, and can I extend them?
Gen-2 creates 4-second videos, while Gen-3 Alpha creates 5-second videos. After generation, you can extend any clip whenever you need a longer duration.
Is camera movement control available on every model?
Slider-based camera control for horizontal, vertical, pan, tilt, zoom and roll, along with Static Mode, is included in Gen-2 and Gen-3 Alpha Turbo but not currently in Gen-3 Alpha.
Why can results differ from one attempt to the next?
