Our Verdict

Runway is more than just a video generator; it's a full-fledged creative suite for filmmakers. Gen-2 is consistently mind-blowing, allowing you to turn text into cinematic 4-second clips. It's not perfect—faces can still look weird—but for B-roll, experimental art, and music videos, it's the industry leader.
