What Runway can do

Six things that make Runway feel like a director.

Image-to-video

Animate any frame into a living shot

Drop in a still image and Runway turns it into motion - product reveals, character animation, environment shots. Useful for breathing life into stills your team already approved.

Text-to-video

Prompt straight to a cinematic clip

Describe the scene, the mood, the camera. Runway is known for cinematic, painterly motion - the look pitch decks and brand films lean into.

Motion brush

Paint exactly what should move

Highlight specific areas of the frame and assign motion vectors. Keep a product still while smoke drifts behind it, or animate only the wind in the hair.

Director mode

Direct the camera, not just the scene

Push, pull, pan, orbit, zoom. Runway responds to camera language - perfect for cinematic ad routes and hero shots that need lens motion.

Style references

Lock the look across a campaign

Feed Runway a style reference and it will keep the colour, lighting and grade of your brand world consistent shot after shot.

Stylised export

Cinematic grade out of the box

Renders ship with film-style grading, not flat default colour. Less work in post for social-first edits and pitch routes.

Spec sheet

The numbers, plainly.

Resolution

Up to 1080p native. Comfortable for hero edits, agency reels and social masters.

Aspect ratios

16:9 cinematic, 9:16 social vertical, 1:1 square. Pick once - the rest of the platform respects it.

Clip length

5 second standard or 10 second extended per render. Chain renders for longer sequences.

Audio

Video only. Score, foley and dialogue happen elsewhere - pair with our ElevenLabs models for sound design.

Inputs

Text prompt, optional starting frame for image-to-video, optional motion brush mask and director-mode camera prompts.

Pipeline

Built and trained by Runway. You see one cost: ours.

Where it earns its credits

Runway is the right tool when…

Cinematic agency hero films

Painterly motion, strong camera language, predictable budget. Use Standard for routes, Extended for the master.

Product reveals from stills

Image-to-video turns a packshot into a dynamic reveal. Useful for D2C teasers and ecommerce social.

Concept & pitch films

Director mode and style references make it ideal for client routes you can re-shoot for cents until the brief is locked.

Stylised social drops

9:16 vertical, 5s or 10s, cinematic look without a colour grade pass. Built for short-form attention spans.
