About Runway
Runway builds the tools redefining video production: Gen-4 generates coherent clips with consistent characters from text and images, while its editing suite removes backgrounds, extends frames, and restyles footage. Film studios and ad agencies experiment here first. Clip lengths and credit economics still bound ambitions, but each release compresses what production weeks used to mean.
