HELLO CREATORS,
Runway just dropped a smart new feature called Layout Sketch, designed to give you more control over structure and composition in your Gen-4 videos.
If you’ve ever struggled to get subjects to show up exactly where you want — or wanted to shape a shot before it generates — this is the tool for that.
What Layout Sketch Does
Layout Sketch lets you draw or block out basic scene layouts using simple shapes before generating a video with Gen-4 References. You define where characters or objects go, how the shot is framed, and how the visual balance plays out — giving you more say over your outputs without needing pixel-perfect prompting.
Pair it with Gen-4 References and you get:
- Character placement control
- Scene blocking with visual structure
- Fewer surprises, more accuracy in subject arrangement
It’s like pre-vis for AI — fast, lightweight, and built for speed.
Why It Matters
Tools like Layout Sketch move Runway closer to full visual direction, not just prompting.
It’s one more layer of control that helps creators plan shots the way filmmakers do — with positioning, intent, and layout in mind.
