Runway

Has a mainland alternative

A long-standing overseas tool for video generation and editing. For a finished clip, use Kling first.

Note

Runway is still one of the overseas video tools people mention often. The official site runwayml.com redirects to runway.com. It usually cannot be used directly in the mainland. Kling can finish generating a video in China, so this is marked as having a mainland alternative. Editing habits and models differ. It is not a one-click swap.

Price

Billed by credits or subscription. The price is whatever runway.com shows at the time.

Chinese

The interface is in English.

In mainland China

Has a mainland alternative

The official site usually needs a special network. To make the video in the mainland, use Kling first. This list does not explain how to change a network.

  • CapCutGeneration is not the whole job. Subtitles, editing, and the finished cut are wrapped up in CapCut.
  • ViduVideo from a reference image is what sets it apart. Close to Kling and Hailuo, with no forced ranking of image quality.
  • HailuoMiniMax’s video entrance. Short clips are quick to try, and there is no gap with Kling and Vidu that this list can score.
  • MoyinFinish Chinese narration and audiobooks. It is not a video generation model.
