Overview
Runway is a browser-based suite of AI video tools, covering text-to-video generation alongside editing features such as background removal and motion effects. Everything runs in the browser, with no heavy local software.
It is aimed at content and marketing teams experimenting with AI video, whether generating short clips from a prompt or speeding up parts of an editing workflow. The toolset expands regularly.
Usage is credit-based, so longer or higher-quality renders consume more, and the more advanced features take time to learn. Results can vary, so plan for iteration rather than a perfect first render.
