Runway

Runway ML – Runway ML is a pioneering creative platform leveraging generative AI to enable innovative video and image editing effects. Aimed at artists and video creators, Runway provides a suite of AI-powered tools accessible through a web-based interface.

Notably, it introduced features like one-click background removal and video object masking driven by machine learning, allowing users to achieve complex effects with simple controls (e.g.

, isolating a subject from a video without greenscreen). Runway has also been at the forefront of text-to-video technology with its Gen-1 and Gen-2 models, which can transform text prompts or reference images into entirely new video clips or apply stylistic effects to existing footage – a cutting-edge capability in content creation. Beyond generation, Runway supports a timeline editor for combining clips, adding audio, and keyframing changes, enabling full video projects to be done in-browser. It continuously adds experimental AI models (for tasks such as image generation, motion tracking, or colorization) that push creative boundaries. By giving creators without deep technical knowledge access to advanced AI models, Runway ML opens up new possibilities for rapid prototyping and imaginative content production. In essence, Runway is turning complex machine learning research into accessible creative tools, empowering users to create visuals and videos that were previously labor-intensive or impossible to achieve.
