What people previously said about Runway

“Very cool work by Runway. Feels like the best of both worlds -- fine grain control of a WYSIWYG editor with the creativity & speed of generative models.”

“Not a single person on earth has used runway for anything”

“This team keeps innovating! Go @runwayml!”

“Huge congrats @c_valenzuelab and @runwayml team!”

“I'm aware of Runway; this video is more like an Aprils Fool Day spoof as Google used to do.”

“Runway is a legitimate company with one of the better video generation models on the market. They're partnered with Lionsgate.”

“For actual video, Runway/Kling/Pika are the ones I’d test against the same product-photo brief and localization workflow, then keep a small prompt/style sheet per client. Different bucket, but on the AI visibility/reporting side we use seoforgpt when clients ask whether that content/work is showing up in ChatGPT or Perplexity-style answers.”

“For more specific shots I'll usually jump into Kling or Runway, but Invideo does save a ton of time.”

“AI for coding is fun but have yall seen with runway, heygen, and fal have been doing with generative media? I think we’re entering a new renaissance”

“I’d probably test Veo or Runway, but I wouldn’t make the whole ad AI-generated.”

“Runway really cooked this time. Once this model is released, everyone’s going to go”

“A real human actor acted out the scene on camera, and Runway transferred that exact facial geometry, eye movement, and micro-expression onto the AI character. That eliminates the uncanny "poker face" that usually ruins AI video.”

“I’m looking at Kling, Runway, Veo and similar tools.”

“Runway is evil tho they did a bait and switch on their free tier and took everyone's credits. Running ComfyUI locally would be cheaper in the long run.”

“Runway shares a video highlighting what you can do with current SOTA image gen models and tooling”

“The role table at the bottom basically writes the routing policy itself. Kling for product shots, DomoAI for stylized, HeyGen for presenters, Runway for anything that needs another pass. The manual part worth keeping is agreeing the brief fields that pick a branch, and doing it once, not per video.”

“You can generate clips and then continue modifying or editing footage in the same environment, which gives you more flexibility when the output needs another pass before a human approves it.”

“There's not much Runway can do that Seedance can't, in my experience.”

“Middle of a high end PAID project. Two days, declines all credit card. Billing fields appear to enter correctly, but then flip fields.”

“Being able to convert 8-bit SDR AI video into 16-bit HDR, with ProRes and EXR sequences, is exactly the kind of step that matters when you move from experimentation to a real production pipeline.”

“Damn i also cancelled runway recently, $15 runway + $10 image tool + $12 audio + $20 editor was $57/mo. Morphic at $24 replaced three of those four.”

“Still the one I reach for first when the brief is “make this suite feel cinematic.” Upload the photos you already have (rooms, lobby, pool, exterior) and you can direct slow reveals, golden-hour exteriors, aerial-style approaches, etc.”

“Many of these Runway type sites are nothing more than wrappers with a mediocre UI on top reselling open source models for a premium. Running them on something like Runpod where one only pays for compute time costs a fraction of what the runways, leonardos and fireflys charge.”

“Damn i also cancelled runway recently, $15 runway + $10 image tool + $12 audio + $20 editor was $57/mo. Morphic at $24 replaced three of those four.”

“The only thing in the universe capable of moving faster than the speed of light is watching $50 worth of generation credits vanish in four seconds because the model decided your protagonist needed three hands and an extra floating elbow.”

“Runway’s per clip cost and how fast the credits run out don’t ask me, so im just looking for an alternative and here is my review trying multiple things.”

“If you want reels made without filming anything, the current stack is script + ai video (veo, runway, or picking stock via pika-type tools) + ai voiceover (elevenlabs still sounds most human) + auto-captions (submagic or captions app).”

“Pika has its modify region feature, and Runway has inpainting. I personally use Seedance reference to video for stuff like this.”

“Runway and Luma stand out.”

“Ruby makes it easier to turn uploaded and AI-generated videos into higher-quality HDR footage.”

“Unlike Veo, Kling, or Runway that cap around 8-10 seconds, Seedance 2.5 does 30-second one-shot generations.”

“Runways Gen models are great for simple camera moves, are inexpensive, and they hold together incredibly well. They also have other engines - Kling and Seedance are good, but you'll spend a few bucks a shot with them to get what you want.”

“AI video platform @runwayml just added the boring part generation tools usually skip. Ruby converts clips from Gen-4.5, Seedance 2.5 or MiniMax H3 into 16-bit EXR, ProRes or HEVC, giving editors files built for color grading and professional delivery.”

“The native image-to-video pipeline in Kling and Runway is definitely the dream setup!”

“Meet Runway Ruby. A new model that transforms SDR video into 16-bit HDR with ProRes and EXR sequence support.”

“Runway just released Ruby: a new model that converts SDR video up to 16-bit HDR in ProRes and EXR sequences.”

“Runway is doing what it does best, bringing more good stuff for us all to play with. We have entered the HDR ProRes zone.”

“Pika has its modify region feature, and Runway has inpainting. I personally use Seedance reference to video for stuff like this.”

“If your workflow is "get a consistent character/scene, then animate it," honestly Kling or Runway are the strongest picks right now since the image-to-video handoff is native, not a plugin bolted on.”

“@c_valenzuelab Years ago I really wanted to pursue AI video seriously but I couldn't afford to keep paying for runway credits for my experiments so I did a wild thing and messaged Cristóbal and he said "check your account" and the rest is history <3”

“Video creation on AI is a solid perk i always use on my clients of ghostwriting. but everyone knows Runway and nobody talks about these 3”

“With Runway Dev, you don't need a PhD in generative AI models. Focus on the outcomes, not the models.”

“runway's the one i keep coming back to when i need something that doesn't look like a fever dream. the prompt has to be really tight though, otherwise you get that weird morphing thing where faces melt into the background”

“Still one of the stronger options for realistic-looking video generation. Works best when prompts are detailed and specific. If you keep things too vague, results can drift.”

“mostly higgs,domoai and runway has been the go to with all my creations”

“i've kept domoai around longer than i expected because it does something different enough from runway and kling that it doesn't feel redundant.”

“Still one of the more complete creative platforms rather than just a generator. Gen-4.5 handles text-to-video and image-to-video, and Runway also gives you editing and other generation tools in the same workspace.”

“Runway was the most interesting to me when I wanted controlled product shots. Its current Product Ad workflow accepts one or more product images, optional style references and a creative direction, then builds a short cinematic product ad.”

“The best use Runway 🔥”
