Runway

Runway turns text into video and video into editable layers. Its Gen-2 model generates clips from prompts, while tools like inpainting, green screen removal, and motion tracking run in the browser without a high-end GPU.

What it does

Runway provides a browser-based video editor with AI models for text-to-video, image-to-video, and video-to-video transformations. It also offers real-time effects like background removal, object tracking, and color grading.
