RunwayML
✏️ What does this tool offer?
Gen-4 & Gen-4 Turbo: The latest models (2025) capable of generating consistent characters across different shots. Gen-4 Turbo offers near-instant generation, while the standard Gen-4 focuses on high-fidelity photorealism.
Multi-Motion Brush: Allows you to "paint" and control movement for up to five independent areas in a single image (e.g., making water flow while trees stay still).
Act-Two: A next-generation motion capture tool that translates a user's facial and body movements directly onto an AI character with high precision.
Aleph In-Video Editor: A revolutionary 2025 feature that allows for non-destructive, timeline-based editing of AI-generated clips within the browser.
4K Upscaling: High-definition video enhancement for production-ready content.
Workflows: Customizable AI pipelines that allow studios to automate complex tasks like rotoscoping and background removal at scale.
⭐️ What does the tool actually offer? (User Experiences)
"Director-Level" Control: Unlike simple text-to-video tools, Runway allows creators to specify camera paths, focal lengths, and motion cadence.
Character Continuity: Users report that Gen-4 has finally solved the "flickering" issue, allowing a single character to appear identical in multiple clips.
Cloud-Native Power: No high-end hardware is needed; all heavy rendering happens on Runway’s servers.
🤖 Does the tool have automation features?
Yes, it is built for Production Pipeline Automation:
Auto-Rotoscoping: Instantly removes backgrounds or isolates subjects with professional-grade accuracy.
Smart Trimming & Inpainting: Automatically fills in gaps when objects are removed from moving video.
💵 Pricing (2025 Updates)
