Figma | Runway Aleph 2.0 adds frame-level control
Figma Weave now supports Runway Aleph 2.0, bringing more precise AI video editing and frame-level creative direction into the Weave canvas. Published on June 18, 2026, the update gives creators a way to guide video changes with keyframes, reference images, longer clips, and connected workflow steps instead of relying on a single prompt to define the whole edit.
Figma Weave adds more directed AI video editing with Aleph 2.0
Runway Aleph 2.0 in Figma Weave is built around a simple but important idea: AI video editing becomes more useful when creators can direct specific decisions across a scene. Instead of treating video generation as one broad prompt, Aleph 2.0 gives designers more control over how edits apply from frame to frame.
For web designers and template creators, this matters because video is becoming a stronger part of landing pages, product sections, social previews, campaign assets, and visual storytelling. A tool that can help refine footage, test visual directions, or transform a scene without starting from zero can make creative production feel more flexible.
What Aleph 2.0 brings to the Weave canvas
Aleph 2.0 supports video clips up to 30 seconds, which makes it more practical for shaping complete short scenes instead of only testing tiny fragments. Designers can bring in reference images to guide the desired look, and the model applies changes while preserving parts of the video that were not meant to change.
The keyframe workflow is especially useful because edits can carry through the frames where they remain relevant. If a subject is adjusted, the change can follow that subject through the scene. That gives creators more room to direct the visual result with intent instead of repeatedly regenerating a clip until something looks close enough.
Why this matters for web visuals and campaign assets
For web projects, short video assets often need to match a brand, mood, layout, or campaign direction. A hero video may need a different environment, a product scene may need a stronger visual tone, or a social teaser may need a more polished look before it fits the rest of a site.
With Aleph 2.0 inside Weave, designers can explore those directions on the canvas and compare alternatives more easily. This can help when building landing pages, portfolio sections, announcement visuals, tutorial previews, or visual systems where motion needs to support the design instead of feeling like a separate production task.
A workflow built around steps instead of one prompt
The Aleph 2.0 node in Figma Weave supports a connected workflow where creators can sequence decisions, preview changes, and refine the result as they go. That is important because creative direction usually happens through iteration, not through one perfect instruction.
This approach fits the way many designers already work in Figma: build a direction, compare variations, adjust details, and keep the strongest version. For AI video, that kind of workflow can make the process feel closer to design editing and less like disconnected generation attempts.
IMPORTANT: Figma notes that pricing for Aleph 2.0 in Weave will be updated soon to scale with input length. Figma Weave and Figma AI credits are also separate for now, so check the current Weave billing and credit details before using it heavily in production workflows.{alertWarning}
Going beyond the original footage
Aleph 2.0 can also help creators move beyond what was originally captured. A scene can be adjusted with a new camera angle, a new character, or a transformed environment, which makes it easier to explore visual directions without planning a new shoot for every idea.
For template creators, this can be useful when testing how a visual concept might support a page. Instead of treating video as a final locked asset, it becomes something that can be directed, shaped, and matched to a layout or brand system earlier in the creative process.
Daisuki's Take: What This Means for Web Designers
For web designers, Runway Aleph 2.0 in Figma Weave is interesting because it brings AI video editing closer to the same iterative process used for layouts, images, and UI concepts. The value is not just generating video, but being able to guide changes with more control.
We think this matters for designers who create campaign pages, template demos, product visuals, and branded content. A short video can make a page feel more alive, but only if it matches the design direction. Tools like this can help creators test motion ideas without treating video production as a completely separate workflow.
The practical takeaway is to use this kind of feature for exploration and refinement, not as a shortcut for skipping creative judgment. The strongest results will still come from clear direction, good references, careful review, and a strong sense of how the video supports the final web experience.
