Runway

Runway is a professional AI video generation and editing platform used by filmmakers, creative directors, and video producers to create and manipulate video content with generative AI. It sits at the intersection of Hollywood-grade visual effects and accessible AI tooling.The problem Runway solves is the gap between creative vision and production capability. Achieving certain visual effects — removing a background from video, generating a scene from text, or transforming the visual style of footage — used to require specialized VFX software and years of training. Runway makes those capabilities available to any creative professional.Runway is used by independent filmmakers, advertising agencies, music video directors, social media creators, and post-production teams who need AI-augmented creative capabilities without a full VFX pipeline.Core features: Gen-3 Alpha text-to-video model that generates high-quality, cinematic video clips from text prompts or reference images. Video-to-video transformation that applies new styles, environments, or visual treatments to existing footage. Advanced inpainting, background removal, and motion tracking tools for professional post-production work.Pricing: Free plan with limited credits. Standard at $15/month.
