About Runway Aleph alternative on Cicadas
Runway Aleph 2.0 edits a video from one frame you change, and it runs on Runway's paid plans. If you only need a common edit, this Runway Aleph alternative has it as a preset: upload an MP4 of up to 14.5 seconds and make it snow, make it rain, turn it to autumn or turn day into night. It costs 8 credits per second of your clip, the exact price is shown before anything is charged, and a failed job is refunded in full. There is no free-form editing here: no prompt box and no frame to paint. Relighting, restyling and object removal are separate tools on Cicadas.
The edits compared here each have a page of their own: the object remover, the video background remover and the AI video upscaler; to restyle a photo rather than a video, see the AI anime video generator.
Why use Cicadas for Runway Aleph alternative
Four scene edits without writing a prompt
Snow, rain, autumn and night. In our runs the same desert walk became a snowfield, a wet plain under an overcast sky, dunes scattered with red leaves, and a night scene with the walker's lamp on. The walk, the framing and the 5.04-second length stayed the same.
The other Aleph-style edits are separate tools
To change the lighting use Relight video; to restyle a clip use Video to anime or Video to cartoon; to take something out use Remove object from video; to cut out the subject use the background remover. Each has its own page, price and test record.
What Aleph does that this page does not
Aleph takes an edit you show it in one frame, works on clips of up to 30 seconds and outputs up to 1080p. Here the edits are fixed presets, clips run 1 to 14.5 seconds, and the model re-renders the whole clip, so faces and small details can change: in our portrait run the face stayed similar but not identical and a translucent hood came back yellow.

The Runway column is from Runway's announcement of 2026-05-21 and its pricing page as read on 2026-10-11, and can change. We have not run Aleph 2.0: this compares what each site states, not the quality of the result.
Runway Aleph alternative FAQ
Tested on Cicadas · reviewed 2026-10-11
Real runs on 2026-10-11 with FLUX 3 Edit, all on this site's own AI-generated clips. Sent with the exact request this page sends: a 5.04-second desert walk with each of the four edits, and a 5.04-second night portrait with snow and with rain. Through this page's paid path on a production build: a 10.14-second dance with sound, turned to autumn (82 credits, 67 seconds, delivered as 10.04 seconds). Movement, framing, length and sound were kept in every run. The edits were clear on the desert and the dance clips; rain changed little on a portrait that was already wet, and on the portrait the face came back similar but not identical. The night edit added a lamp that was not in the source. Runway Aleph 2.0 was not run: what this page says about it comes from Runway's announcement and pricing page. Phone footage, several people and clips over 10 seconds have not been tested.
