What controls do vendor video-to-video tools (Runway Aleph, Luma Modify Video, Moonvalley Marey) document, and do any expose depth, segmentation or edge weights like ControlNet?

Corrected 2026-10-24 - see C3-B1045-01; the original statements below are kept for history and are superseded where the correction says so. On the pages read, none documents depth, segmentation, edge or normal control inputs or numeric control weights. Aleph is prompt-driven (action verb plus change description, optional image) with a 5 s limit; Luma Modify Video exposes nine adhere/flex/reimagine presets; Marey's ComfyUI node offers Motion Transfer or Pose Transfer from a reference video. Adherence is therefore steered by presets or prompts, not by documented structural-channel weights (bounded to these pages).

Adherence is therefore steered by presets or prompts, not by documented structural-channel weights (bounded to these pages). Curator correction 2026-10-24 (discovery audit record C3-B1045-01, curator-reviewed C3R-0688; excerpts re-located by independent curator GET 2026-10-24): Correction. C3-B084-W17-05 states in its summary, undated, that Aleph is prompt-driven 'with a 5 s limit'; its findings date the help-page snapshot 2026-02-07 and its missing_knowledge notes Aleph 2.0 limits as unverified, but it never says the page described Gen-4 Aleph. That figure is accurate for Gen-4 Aleph on the Runway Help Center page as archived on 2026-02-07 ('Aleph supports a maximum duration of 5 seconds for a single generation'), but it is not the current Aleph limit. The Runway Dev changelog dates Aleph 2.0 (model id aleph2) to 2 June 2026: 'Aleph 2.0 supports input videos from 2–30 seconds, up to 5 keyframe images'. Its entry headed 'Gen-3 Alpha Turbo and Gen-4 Aleph sunset' dates 30 July 2026 as the day Gen-4 Aleph (gen4_aleph) became 'no longer available on Runway Dev' (requests with that identifier fail; this is the API, the app is not checked). Both dates precede the record's 2026-10-22 check, so the 5 s claim described a model sunset on the API as the current one. Aleph 2.0 also takes optional keyframe images placed at timestamps, which the record's prompt-plus-one-image description omits. The conclusion that none of the pages read documents depth, segmentation or edge control weights is not contradicted by the pages read in this review (Runway Dev guides and changelog text, Luma Modify Video page updatedAt 2026-07-10, ComfyUI Marey node page); the Runway Help Center page returns 403 to curl, so whether the app page also moved to Aleph 2.0 was not checked. Curator qualifications: All excerpts located; vendor v2v tools document no depth/segmentation/edge controls or numeric weights on pages read. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
