Where Hedra Goes Further
Three areas where Hedra's approach differs from Runway's clip-by-clip workflow.
Conversational Creation
The Hedra agent lets you describe what you want in plain language and handles model selection, generation, and iteration for you. You direct the outcome. The agent manages the production.
Brand Consistency That Learns
Upload reference images and the agent applies your visual style across every output. Save logos, characters, and brand assets as Elements so your content stays on brand without re-uploading or re-prompting.
Image, Video, and Voice in One Workflow
Hedra produces image, video, and voice from one platform, including Omnia, its proprietary character performance model built in-house. Runway focuses on video generation, with audio and full campaign assembly handled elsewhere.
How Hedra Works
Three steps from idea to finished output.
1. Describe What You Want
Open Hedra and tell the agent what you need. A product ad, a set of social assets, a campaign across formats. Upload reference images so it learns your visual style, or generate manually and choose your model.
2. Generate Across Formats
The agent selects the right models for each asset and generates images, video, and audio from one conversation. Use the prompt enhancer to refine descriptions, or let the agent handle it.
3. Refine, Save, and Export
Edit in Composer, save characters and assets as Elements for future projects, and export everything from one platform. No tool-switching. No re-uploading.
