What is Runway?
Runway brings generative video models together with tools for image-to-video, text-to-video, motion control, visual effects, background work, editing, and creative iteration. It is used by filmmakers, designers, agencies, artists, and marketing teams that need rapid visual experimentation.
The public education offer is eligibility-based rather than a universal coupon. Verified students and professors can receive 20% off listed subscription prices, while class purchases may qualify for separate bulk terms.
