Runway
Video generationCheapThe pro toolkit for AI video generation and editing.
What it is
Runway is one of the pioneers of generative video, a favorite of editors and ad studios. Its flagship Gen-4.5 turns text and stills into coherent clips, while Aleph edits existing footage from a text prompt — swap the background, remove an object, relight the scene. Add performance capture (Act-Two) and full node-based workflows. Comes with a web editor and an API.
