Explore and experiment with multiple generative AI models for creative projects

Runway provides access to multiple video and image generation models including Gen-4.5, Gen-4, Gen-3 Alpha, Veo 3.1, and third-party models like Seedance 2.0 and Kling 3.0 Pro. The Unlimited plan offers relaxed-rate unlimited generations in Explore mode for experimentation.

Create AI-powered virtual video agents and conversational characters for interactive applications

Runway Characters API enables real-time video agents with natural conversation and contextual awareness. Built on GWM-1, it generates expressive digital personas from a single image with zero fine-tuning, allowing developers to build custom conversational characters with controlled voice, personality, and visual style.

Enterprise plan provides single sign-on, custom credit amounts, configurable team spaces, advanced security and compliance, workspace analytics, and priority support. Enables large organizations to integrate Runway into internal workflows with customized solutions.

Streamline video editing and post-production workflows with AI-assisted tools

Runway's suite includes Aleph for video editing, Act-Two for performance capture, and integration with third-party models. Users can automate editing tasks, upscale resolution, remove watermarks, and access unlimited video editor projects on Pro and Unlimited plans.

Generate high-quality videos from text prompts or images with cinematic visual fidelity

Gen-4.5 delivers state-of-the-art motion quality, prompt adherence, and visual fidelity for video generation. Users can create professional-grade video content from text descriptions or reference images, enabling rapid content production for media, entertainment, and marketing workflows.
