Runway
A creative video lab where you can generate new shots and edit footage with AI tools.
What is Runway?
Runway is where a lot of people first saw AI video that actually looked good. You can generate clips from text or an image, and use controls for camera movement and motion to guide what happens in the shot.
It is not just about generation, though. Runway also has a set of AI editing tools for jobs like removing backgrounds from video, erasing objects and extending frames. We like that it treats AI as part of a creative workflow, not just a novelty button.
There is a free plan with a limited number of credits, and paid plans start at $15 a month. Video generation burns credits quickly, and you will often generate several takes to get one you love, so budget for experimentation.
