Runway
Generative video platform that turns text and images into short cinematic clips, plus AI editing tools for creative teams.
What it does
Runway is a generative video platform best known for its Gen series of models, which create short video clips from text prompts, still images, or existing footage. Alongside generation it offers AI-assisted editing tools such as green screen, inpainting to remove objects, and motion control features.
The company has deep roots in the creative industry and its tools have been used in professional film and television work. Output is short-form by design, so teams typically generate clips and assemble them in a conventional editor.
Pricing is credit-based with a free tier, paid individual and team plans, and an API for developers building on its models. Costs scale with resolution and model choice, so sustained production use needs real budgeting.
