Что такое Runway?

Runway started as a creative-AI lab in 2018, then pivoted to a full video editor with AI generation baked in. By 2026, it's the dominant 'production' platform for AI video — not the foundation model with the best raw output (Sora has that), but the workflow tool serious creators use to assemble work. Gen-3 and successors handle text-to-video and image-to-video. Other tools: Director Mode for explicit camera moves, Character Performance for identity consistency, Motion Brush for selective motion. Most working filmmakers in 2026 keep both Sora and Runway active — Sora for raw shots, Runway to edit and finish.
