Remove Backgrounds from Runway Gen-3 Videos

Yes! This is the recommended workflow to minimize reprocessing:

1. Create your initial clip in Runway Gen-3 or Gen-4
2. Do your full extend pass (up to ~40s for Gen-3 Alpha, ~34s for Turbo)
3. Export the final extended clip at your desired resolution
4. Upload to VideoBGRemover and remove background on final selects

This way you only process the clips you want to use, saving time and credits on both platforms.

VideoBGRemover works with all Runway output formats:

Clip Lengths:

• Gen-3 Alpha: Up to ~40 seconds (via multi-extend)
• Gen-3 Turbo: Up to ~34 seconds (via multi-extend)
• Gen-4 models: Various lengths depending on tier
• VideoBGRemover: Supports up to 120 minutes total

Resolutions:

• All Runway resolutions supported (720p, 1080p, 4K)
• Resolution caps depend on your Runway plan (Free/Standard/Pro)

We preserve your original resolution and quality.

Runway Subscription Tiers (typical pricing):

• Free: Credits for testing (~125 credits ≈ 25s of Gen-3/Gen-4 Turbo)
• Standard: ~$12/mo with monthly credit bucket
• Pro: ~$28/mo with larger credit bucket
• Higher tiers: Available for teams and studios

Resolution caps vary by plan (e.g., 1080p on some tiers, 4K on higher tiers).

VideoBGRemover Pricing:

• Pay only for background removal (see calculator above)
• No subscription required, credits never expire
• Works with any Runway tier

Yes! Multi-extend workflows in Runway can sometimes create edge inconsistencies, especially on longer clips. Our processing:

• Stabilizes edges across extended segments
• Reduces motion artifacts and temporal noise
• Smooths transitions between extend passes
• Maintains motion fidelity throughout the clip

This gives you clean, production-ready alpha channels even on 30-40s extended clips.

Yes! You can create a complete workflow within Runway:

1. Generate your subject in Runway Gen-3
2. Export and remove background with VideoBGRemover
3. Get transparent alpha channel (WebM or MOV)
4. Import back into Runway's editor
5. Composite with other Runway generations or upload custom backgrounds
6. Add effects, transitions, and export final video

Or export to your preferred NLE (Premiere, Resolve, Final Cut) for more advanced compositing.

Absolutely! Our Python and Node.js SDKs are perfect for post-production pipelines:

Common Use Cases:

• Process multiple Runway generations in batch
• Automate background removal for variations
• Team/studio workflows with consistent outputs
• Integration with render farms or cloud processing

Simple No-Code Workflow:

1. Create your video in Runway's web studio
2. Do full extend pass if needed (up to 40s)
3. Export final clip at your desired resolution
4. Upload to VideoBGRemover
5. Remove background or replace with custom BG
6. Download transparent alpha channel
7. Import back to Runway editor OR your NLE
8. Composite with real locations or custom backgrounds
9. Add effects, color grade, and export

With SDK (for batch processing):

1. Export multiple Runway clips
2. Use VideoBGRemover SDK to batch process
3. Get all transparent outputs automatically
4. Import batch into your editing pipeline

Total time: 5-15 minutes per clip depending on length.

VideoBGRemover works equally well with both Runway Gen-3 and Gen-4:

Gen-3 (Alpha & Turbo):

• Established quality, widely used
• Multi-extend up to 40s (Alpha) or 34s (Turbo)
• Great for most use cases

Gen-4:

• Newer model with improved quality
• Features vary by specific Gen-4 version
• May have different length/resolution options

Both produce excellent results with VideoBGRemover's background removal. Choose based on your creative needs and Runway's current feature set.
