Tips for Runway
- Describe subject motion and action clearly — what is moving, how fast, in which direction.
- Keep scenes single-focus for better temporal coherence in Runway Gen-3.
- Mention lens and film look for style control: 'vintage 16mm with visible grain', 'anamorphic lens'.
- Describe start state and end state for morphing or transition clips.
- Runway handles motion transitions well — describe 'camera slowly pulling back to reveal' for dramatic effect.
- Avoid too many scene cuts — Runway works best with single continuous motion sequences.
Example prompts
Woman walking through rain-soaked Tokyo street at night, neon signs reflecting on pavement, tracking shot, 35mm film grain
Camera slowly rising above ocean cliffs as storm clouds gather, dramatic lighting shifts, wide angle, cinematic
Close-up of hands shaping clay on a potter's wheel, warm afternoon light through a window, shallow depth of field

Free Runway prompt generator
Create free Runway Gen-3 prompts focused on subject motion, scene clarity, and cinematic lens style. Runway works best with single-scene, motion-forward descriptions — one primary subject, one camera movement, one visual mood. PromptMake pairs video prompt engineering with the Text tab enhancer for longer-form ideas before pasting into Runway.
Runway Gen-3 handles motion transition well when prompts describe a clear start state and end state for morphing clips. Describe what is happening at the beginning and where the motion leads: 'A candle flame flickering in still air, camera slowly pulling back to reveal a dark room with dozens of unlit candles.' Clear before/after structure dramatically improves temporal coherence.

FAQ
Is this Runway prompt generator free?
Yes — guests get 3 free Runway prompt text generations per day without signing up. Using Runway itself for video generation requires a Runway subscription.
How is a Runway prompt different from a Sora prompt?
Both are video model prompts, but Runway Gen-3 tends to work best with shorter, more focused motion descriptions — one subject, one scene, one camera movement. Sora handles more complex multi-element scenes. PromptMake tunes output for each model's specific strengths.
What is Runway Gen-3?
Runway Gen-3 Alpha is Runway's latest text-to-video and image-to-video model. It generates short high-quality video clips from text prompts or image inputs. Access it at app.runwayml.com.
Should I use short or long prompts for Runway?
Shorter, highly specific prompts typically outperform long narrative descriptions in Runway. Focus on subject, motion, camera, and style — aim for 1–3 tight sentences rather than a paragraph.
