What it is

Runway is a browser-based video platform covering both generation and editing: turning a description or an image into a clip, and applying model-based edits to footage you already have.

Key features

  • Text and image to video

    Generate short clips from a description or a starting frame.

  • Model-based editing

    Remove objects, extend frames and restyle footage without manual rotoscoping.

  • Camera and motion control

    Direct how the generated camera moves rather than accepting whatever comes out.

Who it suits

  • Previsualisation

    Testing a shot before spending money on production.

  • Short-form content

    Clips for social and advertising.

  • Cleanup work

    Removing unwanted objects from existing footage.

FAQ

Do free exports have a watermark?

Watermark behaviour has changed across plans. We have not verified the current state, so treat it as unverified.

Do the free credits renew?

The starting grant is one-time; continuing use requires a paid plan.
