What is Runway?

Runway is a generative media platform for video, image, and advertising production. Creators can generate video from text or a reference image and can bring existing images, video, or audio into a workflow to guide characters, styles, camera movement, and visual changes. It is suited to concept films, visual pre-production, social content, and commercial creative exploration.

Compared with a single-output generator, Runway emphasizes an iterative production workflow. Reference media can help maintain consistency across a person, product, or visual style; performance-driven tools can transfer expressions and mouth movement; and editing surfaces help adjust shots, ordering, and assets. Generated results can become inputs for the next pass instead of restarting from an empty prompt.

Runway Agent provides a conversational creative entry point that can analyze a product, image, advertisement, or idea and coordinate image, video, and editing steps. Supported inputs, native audio, duration, and credit consumption differ by model. Before committing to production, users should confirm the current model, output constraints, and plan allowances.

Key features of Runway

  • Generate video from text or images

    Users can create a shot from a written prompt or animate a still image with subject action, environmental movement, and camera motion for rapid visual drafts.

  • Guide consistency with reference media

    Images, video, or audio can be attached as named references in a prompt to carry characters, products, objects, or visual styles across iterations.

  • Performance-driven character animation

    A recorded performance can drive the facial expression, mouth movement, and head motion of a reference character for dialogue shots and digital performances.

  • Continue editing after generation

    Timeline and editing tools support trimming, reordering, and adding assets, while prompt-based edits can revise keyframes and visual content in the same workflow.

  • A conversational agent for creative workflows

    Runway Agent can analyze source material and a creative goal, then coordinate image, video, and editing tools to produce related assets and variations.

  • Asset reuse and iterative refinement

    Generated images and clips can be saved and reused as references or editing inputs, allowing creators to extend a useful result without restating every visual condition.
