Runway is a cloud-based creative platform for generating and editing video, images and audio in one workspace. It offers its own models, such as Gen-4.5 and Aleph 2.0, alongside third-party models including Kling 4.0, Seedance 2.0 Pro, Nano Banana Pro and Lyria 3. The company also describes a General World Model (GWM-1) research effort.
Creators use it for keyframe-based video generation, where a first and last frame are supplied and the model generates the motion between them. This is used for transitions, morphs and VFX-style effects. The platform also lists an agentic creative collaborator, App Studio, Runway Ads, brand kits, voice cloning, text-to-speech, music and sound-effect generation, and 4K upscaling.
Runway is organised into three platforms: Runway Creative (the app), Runway Dev (an API for developers) and Runway Robotics (the Praxis-1 world action model, released with open weights under Apache 2.0). The Creative app uses a credit system, with per-generation credit costs that vary by model. The free tier includes a one-time grant of 125 credits.

Used for first/last keyframe video generation to make the intro effects (bursting through a wall, claw machine, wolf morph) and location transitions, with models like Seedance. Also has a character script-to-video feature for talking characters.
