Runway Workflows Adds Compositing, Alpha, HDR and Depth Map Nodes

Runway's node-based Workflows tool, which lets users chain generation and editing steps visually, now includes new node types for compositing (layering visual elements together), alpha channel output (isolating an element with a transparent background), HDR, and both grayscale and RGB depth maps, data describing each pixel's distance from the camera.

Adding these as native nodes means a user building a video pipeline in Runway can chain a depth-map or compositing step directly after a generation step, instead of exporting footage to separate compositing software to do that part of the job. The tweet does not describe output quality or show a full pipeline built with the new nodes, so how these compare to dedicated compositing tools is not established here.
