As a teaching assistant, what I like best about Runway is how accessible it makes advanced AI tools for creative projects. It’s really user-friendly, so students can quickly get hands-on experience with machine learning and AI without needing extensive technical knowledge. The variety of features—like image generation and video editing—offers lots of opportunities for students to explore and experiment with AI in practical, engaging ways. It’s great to see how enthusiastic they become when they can apply these tools to their own projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I feel that some of its more advanced features can be a bit complex and might require a steeper learning curve. While it’s generally user-friendly, certain aspects can be challenging for students who are new to AI or machine learning. Additionally, the free tier has limitations that might not fully cover all the tools and features, which can be a bit frustrating when trying to work on more in-depth projects.

It is not cheap for me. I used free version that gave me low quality results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's an intuitive interface and what it can create can be magical, or it can also miss the mark quite a bit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The paid subscription doesn't give you a ton of credits each month, so as a newer user I have to be very experimental... Which uses credits quickly... It would be awesome if your first 3 months of paid subscription give you more credits for experimental purposes to learn the service Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Runway has been the best image to video tool that I have used. While the motions are not as dynamic as some other tools, it has the least amount of weirdness when creating. I also have found that the camera prompts work very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It often messes up with the direction someone is walking (walking backwards instead of forward) but I just reverse the video. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Impressive technology with amazing capabilities. Professional-grade quality Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not a highly intuitive interface. I'm an experienced video editor, but not particularly tech-savvy. For example, I've never masted Photoshop for image editing, and prefer to use slightly less powerful but more user-friendly software. Similarly, I use Wondershare Filmora as my primary video editing software. There are other AI video creation software that may be slightly less powerful, but are more user-friendly for users like me.
