Runway

Runway is a New York company that helped create the AI video category and remains a favorite of filmmakers and music video directors. Its Gen-4.5 model generates high-quality clips from text or images, with tools to keep characters and locations consistent across shots, plus AI editing features like removing objects, restyling footage and extending scenes. It also runs an annual AI film festival. Credits go quickly on its top model, so heavier users tend to need the Pro or Max plans.
