What is Runway?

Runway builds AI tools for filmmakers and creators, headlined by its Gen models for text-to-video and image-to-video generation. Short clips come out with controllable camera moves, consistent subjects, and cinematic looks.

The suite goes past generation: motion brush, lip sync, frame interpolation, green-screen removal, inpainting, and a full web editor. It is built for production workflows, with teams, assets, and review built in.

Credits-based plans gate generation volume; a small free allowance lets you experiment. Runway is regularly used in music videos, ads, and film previz — a glimpse of where video production is heading.
