Runway
Video generation and editing tools aimed at professional production work.
Runway covers text-to-video, image-to-video, and a set of editing tools such as rotoscoping and background removal. Its position is closer to a production suite than a single generator, which is why it turns up in actual film and ad workflows.
Our take
The most complete option if video is your actual job. If you just need a short clip occasionally, the per-second cost makes cheaper tools more sensible.
