- 🎬 Easy Video Editing
You can cut, trim, and reorder video clips on the timeline. The interface is clean — no complicated buttons everywhere. It’s like putting together a puzzle.
- ✨ Magical AI Tools
This is where Runway shines. Here are some of its free tools:
-
- Background Removal: Remove the background of your video without a green screen — perfect for replacing it with something else.
- Motion Tracking: Automatically make text or images follow a person or object in your video.
- Face Blur: Want to hide someone’s face? Runway can blur it in seconds.
- Automatic Captions: Listen to your video and create captions for you. No more handwriting them!
3. 📹 Video Generation
Runway is not just an editor. With its AI models, you can type something like “dog surfing a wave” and it will try to create a short video about it! The free version gives you credits to try out.
4. 📤 720p exports
With the free plan, you can export videos in up to 720p (HD) resolution. Videos may have watermarks (small logos showing they were made with Runway) — but for testing, school projects, or social media, it’s a great place to start.
5. 💾 Cloud storage
Runway offers 5 GB of free storage for your projects. That means you don’t have to store large video files on your computer.
6. Free version limitations
-
- 👉 You get 125 free credits to start, enough to generate or edit a few short videos. After that, you’ll need to upgrade to a paid plan if you want more AI-generated content or higher-quality exports.
- 👉 In the free version, you can only export up to 720p — if you want 4K or watermark-free videos, you’ll need to pay.
- 👉 Since Runway is online, you’ll need a good internet connection to use it without any issues.
