What is Runway ML?

Runway ML is a creative AI platform best known for its Gen-3 Alpha video generation model โ€” one of the most capable text-to-video and image-to-video AI models available. Filmmakers, content creators and designers use it to generate high-quality video clips from text prompts or still images, and to apply AI effects to existing footage.

Beyond video generation, Runway offers a full suite of AI creative tools including background removal, motion tracking, inpainting, audio cleaning and a full web-based video editor โ€” making it a comprehensive creative AI platform rather than a single-purpose generator.

Who is Runway for?

Filmmakers, video editors, content creators and creative agencies who want to incorporate AI-generated video into productions, create visual effects without expensive post-production software, or prototype video concepts quickly.
