About
Runway is a pioneering AI creative platform that has become the leading tool for AI-assisted video production, editing, and generation. Used by filmmakers, YouTubers, marketing teams, and creative agencies, Runway combines traditional video editing capabilities with breakthrough generative AI features that were previously impossible.
Runway's Gen-2 and Gen-3 Alpha models can generate high-quality video from text descriptions or reference images — a technology that has been used in major film and television productions. The platform also offers AI-powered tools for removing backgrounds, erasing objects from footage, generating realistic motion blur, extending video, and creating seamless loops.
Runway has been used in award-winning short films and received significant recognition for bringing Hollywood-level production capabilities to independent creators. The company continues to push the frontier of what AI can do with moving images and is considered one of the most important companies in creative AI.
