 (Your Creative Studio Powered by Artificial Intelligence)

RunwayML is one of the most powerful creative tools available today for designers, editors, marketers, and creators. It brings the power of artificial intelligence to your fingertips, allowing you to generate videos, images, animations, and more — all in your browser, with no complex software or coding required.

Step 1: Sign Up and Log In

Go to the official website at runwayml.com.
Click “Start Creating” or “Get Started for Free” to create an account.
You can register using your Google account or email. Once inside, you’ll be directed to the Runway dashboard.


Step 2: Explore the AI Tools

Runway offers a wide range of AI-powered tools grouped under “Magic Tools.” Some of the most popular include:

  • Gen-2 (Text to Video): Turn simple text prompts into cinematic video clips

  • Remove Background: Instantly cut out subjects from any video or image

  • Inpainting: Erase and regenerate parts of images

  • Image to Image: Transform one image into another using AI

  • Motion Brush: Animate specific areas of an image

  • Video Editing with AI: Simplify traditional video editing tasks with automation

You can explore each tool through easy-to-use interfaces and visual previews.


Step 3: Create a New Project

From your dashboard, click “New Project.”
You can start with:

  • A blank canvas

  • Uploaded images or videos

  • Text prompts for video generation (using Gen-2)

For example, if you choose “Text to Video,” simply enter a short prompt like “a futuristic city at night” and the AI will generate a video clip in seconds.


Step 4: Customize and Edit Your Content

Once generated, you can enhance or edit your content directly in the editor:

  • Trim or rearrange video scenes

  • Add transitions, effects, subtitles

  • Combine multiple generated assets into a full composition

  • Adjust aspect ratio and resolution (great for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram)

Runway's interface is drag-and-drop friendly, so no prior editing knowledge is required.


Step 5: Export and Download

After your project is ready, click the “Export” button.
You can choose the resolution, file type, and download your video or image directly.
Higher resolutions and longer video generations may require a paid plan.


Pricing Overview

Runway offers a free plan with access to many tools and limited generations.
For more advanced features like Gen-2, full-HD exports, or commercial usage, you can upgrade to one of their paid plans (monthly or annual).
