What is Runway?

Runway is an AI-powered creative platform for generating and editing video, image, and audio content, best known for its Gen-4 family of text-to-video and image-to-video models. Features include Motion Brush for directing movement within a scene, Camera Control for director-style pans and dollies, background removal without green screen, and 4K upscaling. The platform also includes a standard video editor and API access for developers building on Runway's models.

Runway uses a credit-based subscription system with a one-time free allotment for new users, then Standard, Pro, Max, and Enterprise tiers that scale up monthly credits, storage, and collaboration features. Annual billing lowers the effective monthly price across all paid tiers. Enterprise customers get custom credit packages along with SSO and priority support.
