How each tool handles key workflows differently
Chain multiple AI models (Runway Gen-4, Veo, Kling) together in a single project. Add virtual camera control, effects, transitions, and export sequences to Premiere or DaVinci with timing and metadata intact. Perfect for multi-shot narratives and episodic content.
Optimized for fast, high-quality single-shot generation. Write a prompt, customize with image reference or video-to-video, apply effects like green screen or inpainting, and download the result. Simple and immediate for individual clips.
Natively integrates Runway Gen-4, Veo, Kling, and more as nodes. Switch models per shot, compare outputs on the same canvas, and blend results. Use Runway's strengths for certain shots and Veo's characteristics for others in the same project.
Runway's Gen-4 and Gen-4.5 models are world-class for video generation. Focus entirely on perfecting one model rather than choosing between many. Advanced features like multi-frame consistency and character embedding are built specifically for Runway.
Real-time multiplayer editing — like Figma for AI video. Directors, editors, and VFX artists work on the same infinite canvas simultaneously. Changes sync instantly with full version history and permission controls.
Single-user design keeps the interface simple and responsive. No collaboration features currently. Teams must manage projects externally or work sequentially on individual clips.
Native XML export to Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Final Cut Pro. Entire sequences arrive with timing, effects, and transitions. No manual reassembly needed. Seamlessly extends professional editing pipelines.
Downloads as MP4 or WebM. Import directly into any editing software. No special integration, but immediate portability to any workflow. Ideal for quick turnarounds where professionals handle post-production separately.
Understanding the true cost of each platform
Runway is cheaper for occasional single-shot generation. Martini Art is more cost-effective for production teams running complex multi-shot workflows using multiple models.
