Runway is a company focused on generative AI, providing powerful image generation capabilities. Its models support features such as style transfer, image extension, and detail control. Currently, ComfyUI has integrated the Runway API, allowing you to directly use the related nodes in ComfyUI for image generation. In this guide, we will walk you through the following workflows:
  • Text-to-image
  • Reference-to-image
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.
