AI Video Generation

Runway is a video generation and editing platform used for AI-generated clips, video-to-video style transfer, and creative production workflows.

ABOUT RUNWAY

Runway sits at the frontier of consumer-accessible AI video generation. Its Gen-series models handle text-to-video, image-to-video, and video-to-video transformations, and its editor supports the usual green-screen, inpainting, and motion-tracking primitives that make the generated clips actually usable in downstream production.

OVERVIEW

Who is it for?
Filmmakers, video editors, ad creatives, and post-production teams who want to generate and edit AI video clips inside a workflow that still supports green-screen, inpainting, and motion tracking.
Problem
Text-to-video generators produce raw clips but rarely provide the editing primitives (rotoscoping, background removal, camera controls, character performance capture) needed to fold generated footage into a real production.
Solution
Runway ships Gen-4 text-to-video and image-to-video, Act-One character performance capture and lip sync, Motion Brush for directing movement, camera controls, frame interpolation, video-to-video restyling, and green-screen and inpainting tools inside team workspaces with shared assets.
What makes it unique
Third-party models (Kling, Nano Banana Pro, Seedance, Gemini) run in the same workspace as Runway's own Gen-4, and the editor pairs generation with production primitives such as Act-One, Motion Brush, and camera controls rather than clip generation alone.
