Runway Review
Runway is where creators go when they actually want to make a video, not just prompt one. Text-to-video, green screen removal, and a real timeline editor live in the same browser tab. It's the closest thing to a Swiss Army knife for AI video.

FAQ
Who should use Runway?
Creators and agencies making social clips, concept videos, or quick client mockups. If you need broadcast-quality narrative film, you're not there yet, but for fast visual work it's hard to beat.
Alternatives
Pika is the fun one. You type a prompt, it makes a short clip, and it's fast enough to feel playful rather than fiddly. It won't replace an editor, but for social clips and quick ideas it's the easiest way to get from thought to moving image.
Synthesia solves a boring problem well: turning a script into a presenter video without booking a studio. The avatars are good enough for training and explainers, and your L&D team will love that updates are a text edit instead of a reshoot.
