Make a short clip from a line or a still
Runway turns text, an image, or an existing clip into video you can extend and edit, so a moving idea does not wait on a camera crew.

Runway is for people who need a short moving shot and can describe it. It fits storyboards, social experiments, product moods, and previz where a few seconds unlock the next conversation.
If you already have a still you love, you can animate it. If you have a sentence, you can see it move. Teams use it to try looks before a shoot. Solo makers use it to publish a clip the same day.
A free plan includes a small credit grant so you can see a shot before you pick a paid plan.
How it makes life easier
Generate a clip from a text prompt, from an image, or from video you already have. Runway's own models sit next to models from other companies, and you pick one for the shot. Credits pay for the generation.
Around the generator you can extend a clip, upscale it, or adjust it after the first pass. That is how a two-second experiment becomes a usable piece of a larger edit.
You walk away with moving pictures that did not exist this morning. For many briefs, that is enough to choose a direction or to post.
What you get
Text, a still, or a clip can start it
You are not limited to a blank prompt. An image you already like can be the first frame of the video.
Several models in one account
Try another look on the same idea without opening a second subscription for every test.
A small free credit grant to start
You can see how generation feels before you pick a paid plan, then scale when the workflow clicks.
Questions
Can I start without a credit card?
Runway says the free plan can be started without a card and includes a one-time credit amount. That is enough to generate a few shots and decide whether the paid plans belong in your week.
Can I animate a picture I already have?
Yes. An image can be an input, not only a text prompt. Generate motion from that still, then extend or edit the clip until it fits the rest of the piece.
What do the credits buy?
Credits pay for generation. Different models and lengths spend different amounts. The pricing page shows the current table so you can plan a batch of shots.
