What is Runway ML best for?
Creates and edits generative video clips for campaigns, storyboards, social content, and cinematic experiments. On woska, Runway ML sits in the Video category as an AI-first product, and its freemium tier lets you test the real workflow before paying. The practical question is less whether Runway ML produces output and more whether it fits turning scripts, images, recordings, or prompts into usable video content without adding another disconnected step.
