Runway is a video family built for a cinematic look, with strong text-to-video and video-to-video. Reach for it when style and control matter.

Best for

  • Cinematic, stylised generation.
  • Video-to-video restyling.
  • Creative and marketing work.

Example

Video generation is asynchronous: submit a job, then poll for the result.
1

Submit a job

The response returns a job id, an estimated_cost, and status: "pending".
2

Poll for the result

Poll every 5–10 seconds until status is completed (the response includes the video URL) or failed.

Pricing

Priced per second of output. As a rough guide, expect around $0.15 per second, so a 5-second clip is about $0.75. You’re only charged when a job completes.
