How It Works?

Runway combines generative AI models (such as its Gen-series) with powerful cloud infrastructure, enabling users to input prompts like text, images, or videos and receive new, fully generated media outputs.

For example:

  • In text-to-video mode, you describe a scene in text, and the system synthesizes a matching short video.
  • In image-to-video mode, you upload an image and describe a motion or scene, and Runway animates it accordingly.

It also includes editing features such as background removal, object tracking, restyling, relighting, and scene transformation — all accessible through an intuitive, no-code interface.
