Runway launches DaVinci Resolve plugin
Runway has released a plugin that brings its generative models, including Aleph 2.0, into DaVinci Resolve Studio, so editors can generate and restyle footage without leaving their timeline.
Runway announced a plugin for DaVinci Resolve Studio. It lets editors generate images and video, and restyle existing clips, from a panel inside Blackmagic Design's editing software.
Before the plugin, using Runway in the middle of an edit meant several manual steps. Editors exported a clip, uploaded it in a browser, downloaded the result and imported it back into Resolve's Media Pool. With the plugin, users write prompts inside Resolve and watch generations finish in a feed. One click imports a result into the bin and onto the timeline.
The main feature, Edit Studio, works on footage already in the project. Users park the playhead on a shot or set in and out points, and the panel exports that range. They can then restyle its anchor frames or set up to five keyframes for finer control. Aleph 2.0 re-renders the clip at the same length as the source. The panel shows before-and-after comparisons, and imported results sit on a track above the original.
Users sign in with their Runway account. The panel shows their workspaces, their credit balance and the cost of each generation before they commit. Results are also saved to the user's Runway library.
The plugin is a free download for macOS and Windows. It requires DaVinci Resolve Studio 19 or later, which is the paid version of Resolve, not the free one. Generation works on all paid Runway plans and uses existing plan credits. Runway did not give per-generation prices or say whether it plans plugins for other editing apps.
