Review RunwayML?

Reviewers see RunwayML as a strong but uneven AI video tool. Positive feedback centers on useful concepting, abstract b-roll, and an all-in-one experience with clear explanations and realistic expectations; several users call the results impressive and improving. But the sharpest criticism is practical: high cost, slow generation on some plans, no queueing, weak prompt adherence, inconsistent output quality, and heavy moderation that can block benign content and even lead to account issues. Overall, people find it promising for experimentation more than dependable production work.

used RunwayML to build Ciaro Pro instead of Magnific, Midjourney, and others

•2 reviews

Runway helped define what modern AI video generation can feel like. I like it because it gives creators fast ways to explore motion, style, and cinematic ideas — especially for concepting and experimental shots. Ciaro Pro is built around a different part of the same creative problem: shaping those kinds of outputs into a more coherent visual story.

A miserable experience. The prices are way too high. If you get the unlimited (Relaxed) subscription, generating a 10 second video takes about 20 minutes. You can't que videos either, you have to wait until they are finished one by one. The AI gets your prompt wrong half the time. Which make you lose time and credits. Then there's the oversensitive censorship. Even people in short-sleeved t-shirts are too risky. They don't tell you what's the problem either. While you're figuring out what exactly is the problem, your account gets suspended. They say you can appeal to this, but that's a lie. They just mention that their decision is final, give no explanation and tell you to go away. Anything is better than this overpriced mess.

Nowhere near worth the exorbitant pricing. Even with the slightly less expensive Gen 3 Alpha Turbo, there is almost no prompt adherence, even if you follow their prompting guide. And given the extremely high expense, most users won't have the freedom to experiment in order to find that just-right-magical-prompt-wording that will yield any result that even approaches accurate. Even with start images, where most of the work is done for them, the resulting video is disappointing 9 times out of ten. Not worth the money at this time.
