Tool Hut
Runway
Professional AI video generation and editing suite — Gen-3, inpainting, motion brush.
Add Runway to your hut →Runway is the AI video tool that Hollywood and professional filmmakers actually use. Its Gen-3 Alpha model generates high-quality video from text or images, while the full editing suite adds inpainting (remove or replace elements mid-clip), motion brush (selectively animate parts of a still), green screen, and frame interpolation. Runway has been used in award-winning short films and TV productions — it occupies the professional end of the AI video market.
The free tier gives 125 one-time credits. Standard ($15/mo) covers regular creative use; Pro ($35/mo) unlocks faster generation and more monthly credits. Most often compared to Sora — Runway's edge is the full post-production toolset built around generation; Sora's is raw clip length and cinematic quality.
