The AI revolution starts with a powerful text-to-image service that can generate an incredible variety of objects and scenes, giving users full editing control to transform parts of the generated objects, isolate them as transparent layers and quickly add them to any stylish background that this webapp can also generate.

In fact, the background generation tools are so powerful that users can request expansion of the background surface beyond the bounds of the original canvas and even mark the object that they wish to be deleted.

All of this can be utilized in both static picture and video projects, with a wide array of tools empowering the quick evolution of projects from beginning stages to stunning final presentations.

Other AI tools that Runway for PC hosts can help video producers to quickly add markers to moving projects, remove video backgrounds, paint out objects from videos, and automatically create interaction points with a tool such as Beat Detection.

The app can quickly smooth out noisy backgrounds, clean audio, add subtitles, and empower users to start producing videos in a real-time collaborative environment where every participant can focus on a specific part of the video production, sharing assets, composition and content instantly and securely.
