Kevin’s take
“Runway was doing AI video before most people knew it was possible. You give it a prompt or an image and it produces a short clip. The results have come a long way — genuinely useful for short creative video now. There's a free tier to dip a toe in. A good first stop if AI video is something you're curious about.”
— Kevin, formerly of IT Support
