FAQ
Questions about Runway Aleph (Video Edit).
What does the Runway Aleph (Video Edit) action do in Runway?
Takes a source video plus an edit instruction. Aleph preserves the source while applying the requested change ("change the season to winter", "remove the person on the left"). For programmatic video editing workflows.
What inputs does Runway Aleph (Video Edit) require?
Required: Source Video URI, Edit Prompt. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Runway returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Runway returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does Runway Aleph (Video Edit) support batch operations?
Run Runway Aleph (Video Edit) inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Runway's rate limits.
