Runway is a company focused on generative AI, providing powerful video generation capabilities. Currently, ComfyUI has integrated the Runway API, allowing you to directly use the related nodes in ComfyUI for video generation.

Currently, ComfyUI natively integrates the following Runway video generation models:

  • Runway Gen3a turbo
  • Runway Gen4 turbo
  • Runway First Last Frame to video

To use the API nodes, you need to ensure that you are logged in properly and using a permitted network environment. Please refer to the API Nodes Overview section of the documentation to understand the specific requirements for using the API nodes.

If you find missing nodes when loading the workflow file below, it may be due to the following situations:

  1. You are not using the latest Development (Nightly) version of ComfyUI.
  2. You are using the Stable (Release) version or Desktop version of ComfyUI (which does not include the latest feature updates).
  3. You are using the latest Commit version of ComfyUI, but some nodes failed to import during startup.

Please make sure you have successfully updated ComfyUI to the latest Development (Nightly) version. See: How to Update ComfyUI section to learn how to update ComfyUI.
