AI video generation and editing suite for filmmakers
Runway builds generative video tools aimed at people who actually edit. Alongside text-to-video generation it offers a genuinely practical toolkit: remove an object and have the background fill itself in automatically, generate a clip from a still image, extend footage past its original length, and track motion or colour grade without round-tripping through After Effects. The suite runs in the browser with a timeline, so shots and generated clips sit together in one place. Independent filmmakers, agencies and editorial teams use it both for final shots and for fast previsualisation.
