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.
