AI creative suite for video generation, editing, and visual effects used by professional filmmakers.
Runway is the AI video tool that professionals actually use. Their Gen-3 Alpha model generates video from text or images that's a genuine step above competitors. Film studios, ad agencies, and music video directors use Runway for concept visualization, VFX, and production.
Beyond generation, Runway offers a full suite of AI-powered editing tools: background removal, motion tracking, color grading, and inpainting. It's positioned as a creative studio, not just a generator.
AI-generated video is still in its early days. Outputs are short (5-10 seconds), sometimes physically implausible, and require cherry-picking the best results. The free tier is very limited — you'll burn through credits quickly experimenting.
Video professionals, content creators, and creative agencies who want cutting-edge AI tools. If you need a quick talking-head video, Synthesia is more practical. If you want to push creative boundaries with AI-generated visual content, Runway is where the frontier is.
