Short promotional clips, product animations and social video ideas from a still image or a prompt.
Watch out for
Credits go quickly on video: Runway's own example is that 625 credits make about 52 seconds of its Gen-4.5 model. Monthly credits on Standard and Pro don't roll over. Don't use generated footage to show a product or finished job as something it isn't.
