About Runway

Runway is the preferred AI tool for professional filmmakers, editors, and visual artists, focusing on "generative video" and VFX. Its Gen-2 and Gen-3 Alpha models allow users to generate cinematic video clips from text prompts with incredible realism. However, Runway shines in its granular controls: the "Motion Brush" tool lets you paint over specific areas of a static image (like clouds or water) to animate just those parts. Its "Green Screen" tool uses AI to instantly remove backgrounds from complex video footage, a task that used to take rotoscope artists hours. Used in Hollywood productions (like *Everything Everywhere All At Once*), Runway bridges the gap between traditional video editing workflows and the new frontier of AI generation.
