In-Depth Review
Runway is pushing the boundaries of AI video generation with its Gen-2 model, which can generate high-quality video from text prompts or images. The platform offers a comprehensive suite of AI-powered editing tools, including inpainting (removing objects), outpainting (extending scenes), and motion tracking.
What sets Runway apart is its focus on professional creators. The quality of generated videos is among the best in the industry, and the editing tools rival traditional video editing software. However, the credit-based pricing model can get expensive for heavy users, and there's a learning curve to master all the features.
