Runway Gen-4.5 now accepts image inputs alongside text prompts
What happened
Between the May 18, 2026 and May 25, 2026 captures of Runway's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Gen-4.5 model capability updated to accept both text and image inputs (was text-only), now listed as 'Text + Image to Video' in Standard plan feature list. Pulse files it as a product change (feature change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 21, 2026) lists Standard at $12, Pro at $28 and Max at $76.

Before that Pulse recorded "Runway launches Seedance 2.0 globally with 50% off for 3 months" (Apr 13, 2026) and "Runway Expands Free Tier with Gemini 3 Pro and Generative Audio Tools" (Apr 4, 2026). Runway has been tracked since 2024-11-17.
