Runway Gen-3

What is Runway Gen-3?

Runway is an AI media platform with a strong focus on professional creative productions. Gen-3 Alpha is Runway's latest video generation model and is used by filmmakers, VFX artists and creative studios worldwide. Runway positions itself as the AI tool for professionals who want to generate cinematic-quality videos.

How does Gen-3 work?

Gen-3 Alpha generates videos from text or image input. The model is particularly strong at generating complex scenes with realistic camera movements, natural lighting and coherent action. Users can specify camera movements (pan, tilt, dolly zoom), choose lenses and request specific cinematographic styles.

In addition to video generation, Runway also offers video editing tools: removing objects from videos, inpainting, rotoscoping, replacing backgrounds and more. This positions it as a complete AI toolkit for post-production.
