Pros & cons

Pros

Gen-4 and Gen-4.5 models produce the highest-quality AI video in the market
Used by major film studios — Runway is the industry standard for professional AI VFX
Standard plan at $12/mo annual is accessible entry point for creative experimentation
Pro plan includes custom voice creation for lip-sync applications
Unlimited plan's Explore Mode allows unrestricted generation at relaxed processing speed
625 credits on Standard covers 25 seconds of Gen-4.5 or 52 seconds of Gen-4 per month

Cons

Credit consumption is high — 625 credits on Standard yields limited finished video seconds
Free plan only provides 125 one-time credits with no monthly renewal
Not a traditional video editor — output is generative clips requiring assembly elsewhere
Pro at $28/mo is limited to 2,250 credits — may not be enough for regular production
No built-in social scheduler or long-form video structure tools
