Runway

Overview​

Runway is a browser-based creative platform for generative video, image and audio production. It combines Runway models with selected third-party models, editing tools and an API, but credit consumption and output consistency require careful planning.

Best for​

AI video generation, image-to-video work, creative editing, visual effects, prototyping and API-driven media workflows
