The reviews

Gen-4 changed my content workflow. B-roll that used to take a day to shoot now takes 30 seconds to generate. The consistency improvements make it actually usable.

Helpful?

Still not perfect — you'll get weird artifacts and the occasional uncanny valley moment. But for 80% of use cases, it's good enough. And 'good enough' keeps getting better.

Helpful?

Video was the last holdout of 'AI can't do this well enough.' Runway just broke through. The implications for content creation, advertising, and filmmaking are seismic.
