What do you like best about Runway?

RunwayML is one of the best AI tools out there, it is straightforward. I particularly like its image/text-to-video tool which works like a magic wand, It's very easy to implement in my video editing workflow. I use it frequently to create cinematic video shots that later I can incorporate into my timeline to make full-length highly engaging videos that my viewers love. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Runway?

I don't think I have anything to dislike about this software, I believe Runway ML is leading the way forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Runway solving and how is that benefiting you?

Time-saving, definitely. If I were to create a similar video using any other software than RunwayML, first Its quite difficult, and second It would take a lot of time. We want to create videos that are engaging and good, within the least time possible, that is where RunwayML helped me a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Runway?

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.

What do you dislike about Runway?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Runway solving and how is that benefiting you?

Runway is tackling the issue of making sophisticated AI tools approachable and usable for creative tasks. It breaks down complex processes like image and video manipulation into simple, intuitive steps, so even those new to AI can get involved.

For me as a teaching assistant, this is great because it lets me show students how AI can be used in real-world projects without needing to dive into complex technical details. It helps make learning about AI more engaging and practical, which really boosts their enthusiasm and creativity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Runway?

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.

What do you dislike about Runway?

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.

What problems is Runway solving and how is that benefiting you?

For quick stock snippets in YouTube videos runway hits the mark about 60% of the time... Even when the videos don't match the prompt they still look amazing compared to other services Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Runway?

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.

What do you dislike about Runway?

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.

What problems is Runway solving and how is that benefiting you?

My main use of Runway is the image to video feature. I also use the lip sync option a lot. Both are among the best versions that I have found. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Runway?

Impressive technology with amazing capabilities. Professional-grade quality Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Runway?

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.

What problems is Runway solving and how is that benefiting you?

Video creation is essential these days in order for brands to have a creative edge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
