About Runway
Runway is an AI video platform combining text-to-video and image-to-video generation (its Gen-series models) with a full suite of AI-powered video editing tools built for working with existing footage, not just generating new clips. Its editing features include a motion brush for animating specific parts of an image, AI-powered green screen removal that doesn't require an actual green screen, and frame interpolation for smooth slow motion. This combination — generation plus editing — sets it apart from pure text-to-video generators, positioning it as a tool that fits into a professional video production pipeline rather than a standalone novelty generator. Runway is used by independent filmmakers, VFX artists, and marketing teams producing short-form video content.
