Runway Videos
Runway Videos is Runway's browser-based studio for generating and editing AI video, images, and audio from text, image, or clip inputs. The content creation platform bundles models like Gen-4.5, Seedance 2.0, and Kling 3.0 with tools for inpainting, upscaling, lip sync, and multi-shot storyboards.
Dedicated video editors still win on frame-accurate timeline control, while Runway trades that precision for model variety and one-click transforms like relighting, backdrop swaps, and object removal via prompts. Credits meter every generation: the Standard plan includes 625 monthly credits, which Runway equates to about 52 seconds of Gen-4.5 output at 1080p.
Filmmakers, marketing teams, and solo creators who need quick concept videos or social cuts are the core audience. Traditional post houses that need full NLE workflows will still export to Premiere or DaVinci after generating assets here.
