# Real-Time Video Models Animate Sketches as You Draw

By Steven Van · 2026-09-14

Runway Labs previews a real-time video model with a drawing app that generates each frame live as you sketch.

Runway Labs has shared an early experiment in real-time video generation: a drawing app that animates sketches as they're drawn. The underlying video model generates each frame live, so a sketch turns into motion as soon as it's made rather than after a rendering pass.

The demo comes from [Runway](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/runway>)'s research team and was [posted on X](<https://x.com/i/status/2099537262698754557>) as an early look at real-time video models rather than a shipped product feature.
