Our take
Pick Runway if creators who want text-to-video or timeline edits and will burn credits. Pick Autodesk Flow Studio if indie filmmakers and VFX students who will shoot a plate and pay credits for the composite. Skip Runway if people who need a presenter avatar (HeyGen, Synthesia) or speech-only TTS (ElevenLabs).
