Where people discuss it: Product Hunt ↗
Runway develops AI video and image models, delivered through a browser workspace. Its Gen-4 model generates clips from text or image prompts and is built for consistency, keeping characters, objects, and environments recognizable across shots; Gen-4 Turbo is a faster variant for quick iterations. The workspace also includes image generation and editing tools such as inpainting and background removal. A free plan comes with a limited credit allowance, and paid plans add monthly credits, higher resolutions, and longer clips.
