Runway alternatives: tools you run, and a studio that runs it for you
Runway is a powerful AI video tool for editors. If you need product films without an editor in-house, compare these tools with an AI studio that makes the film for you.

Why brands look past Runway for product video
-
It needs an editor
Generating strong clips and cutting them into a film is skilled work. Without an editor in-house, the tool sits unused.
-
Products must hold still
In generated footage, a label or colour can shift from shot to shot. Someone has to catch it before customers do.
-
A film is more than clips
Script, storyboard, voiceover, music and captions all sit outside the footage itself.
