The best thing about Runway for me is how easy it is to use. I can turn a simple idea into a good-looking video in just a few minutes. I don’t have much video editing experience, so I really like that I can create cinematic clips just by typing a prompt. The image-to-video feature is also very helpful for making social media content quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the video quality is inconsistent, and I have to try the prompt more than once to get the result I want. I also wish the free version had more credits for practice and testing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Runway is its ability to turn simple ideas into polished video content using AI. It makes video creation much more accessible without requiring advanced editing or animation skills. High-quality AI video generation from text and images. Powerful video editing and transformation tools. Easy experimentation with different visual styles and concepts. Useful for creating marketing content, product demos, and social media videos. Significantly reduces the time needed for traditional video production. For me, the biggest advantage is rapid visual prototyping. I can turn an idea into a video concept quickly, iterate on it, and explore different creative directions without spending hours on manual editing. Overall, Runway makes professional-looking video creation much faster and more accessible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest drawback is the lack of precise control compared with traditional video editing tools. Runway is excellent for quickly creating concepts, but getting a very specific final result can require multiple generations and manual refinement. Maintaining character and object consistency across scenes can be challenging. Complex prompts may require several iterations to get the desired result. Rendering high-quality videos can consume credits quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using Runway for more than two years now, and I really love it.

Even before chatGPT started making images, Runway was my favourite tool. It creates amazing logos and pictures. And now it generates full ai video too. That’s the main part I love Runway.

Also you have free credits if you don’t want to purchase any subscription. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love using Runway, So there are no dislikes from my end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Allows creating eye-catching videos without needing advanced editing skills. Additionally, it saves time in the ideation phase and in the creation of visual effects. It can be useful for designers, students, artists, filmmakers, and content creators.

It offers great creative freedom, as a simple description can be transformed into a visual scene. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The results do not always match exactly what is written in the prompt.

Sometimes errors may appear, for example in the hands, faces, texts, objects, or movements.

Additionally, the generated videos are usually short clips, so it is often necessary to join several scenes to create a longer piece. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The AI-powered video generation and editing features stand out the most for me. Tools like background removal, motion tracking, object replacement, and text-to-video make it much easier to create polished content without spending hours on manual edits, and the overall workflow feels smooth and efficient.

Some AI generations take a few retries before I get the exact result I’m looking for, and rendering longer videos can take more time than I expect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest advantage of this platform is how much easier and simpler it is for us to produce a professional-quality video creation just using an AI. And instead of juggling with multiple editing tools, we can generate videos and animate images, along with removing backgrounds and extending clips, where we can create cinematic effects right from a single platform. And the latest video generation model produces impressive motion quality while maintaining a good consistency between scenes. I also like the ability to start with the reference image and generate multiple shots with a similar visual style. Overall, this was extremely useful for storytelling, advertisement and product videos for social media content. Their interfaces are clean and approachable, and beginner-friendly, which provides enough creative control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although the output quality is good, their credit-based pricing means no longer can projects consume credits fairly quickly and having transparent pricing right at the onboarding stage would be a create add on to this platform. Also, it often takes multiple generations to achieve the exact scene that we are looking for, especially for complex prompt and rendering multiple times can also be very much more, depending on the demand. While prompt adherence has improved, highly detailed scenes sometimes still require several tries. I would also say having more detailed editing capabilities after a video has been created would be good, rather than regenerating the overall video again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest win for us has been using Runway to isolate our analysts in talking head videos so we can swap out the background. Before, that meant an editor rotoscoping frame by frame, which ate up hours. Now Runway gets us a clean isolation way faster. We're saving about 3 hours per project, and across 32 Analyst Conversation videos last year that's nearly 100 hours back. That's 100 hours our editors get to spend on actual creative work instead of manual cleanup, which means faster turnarounds for clients too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main pain point has been render times, especially when isolating subjects against backgrounds. Some jobs take longer than we'd like when we're up against a client deadline. We've also seen some inconsistency in output quality when generating video from static backgrounds. Sometimes it nails it, other times we're re-running the same prompt to get something usable. Pricing hasn't been an issue for us though. It's competitive with other tools we've looked at, and we've never come close to burning through our credits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So I tried Runway AI for making short video clips for my project. Honestly when it works it looks super cool and futuristic, but sometimes the hands or faces look kinda weird and it uses up credits really fast!! Still definitely worth checking out if you wanna play around with video generation though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honest opinion? The worst part is how fast it eats through your credits! You spend 10 credits on a glitchy 4-second video where someone's face melts, and you still gotta pay for it. It just feels way too expensive when you're trying to fix small mistakes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Runway is its groundbreaking suite of generative video tools—especially Gen-3 Alpha—which can produce hyper-realistic video clips and cinematic motion from text or image prompts. The interface feels intuitive, and the advanced editing features, such as the motion brush and green screen tools, make it much easier to achieve complex visual effects, even for creators with different levels of experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike most about Runway is the steep cost of generating high-resolution outputs and longer video durations, since those choices can quickly burn through subscription credits. On top of that, during peak-traffic periods the rendering times can sometimes slow things down and create frustrating bottlenecks in a fast-paced production workflow. Finally, getting precise control over complex character motion—and keeping consistency across multiple shots—still takes a lot of trial and error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Runway is how quickly it turns creative concepts into high-quality visual assets. It helps streamline the ad creation process by making it easier to generate, edit, and experiment with video concepts without needing extensive production resources. The ability to quickly test different creative directions, styles, and variations is especially valuable for developing engaging campaigns and improving creative performance.

What I dislike about Runway is that while the creative capabilities are impressive, the output can sometimes require multiple iterations to get the exact look, messaging, or brand consistency needed for professional ad campaigns. Some advanced features also have a learning curve, and managing credits/usage can become a consideration when producing a high volume of creative assets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
