→How to Migrate from InVideo AI to Runway (Step-by-Step)
Last updated: April 2026
Migrating from InVideo AI to Runway is ideal for creators seeking more advanced, generative AI video capabilities and professional-grade editing tools. While InVideo excels at automated, template-based video creation from text, Runway offers cutting-edge features like text-to-video generation with its Gen-3 Alpha model, AI-powered editing, and sophisticated VFX. This guide covers the complete migration process, including exporting your assets from InVideo, setting up your Runway workspace, adapting your workflow to Runway's more granular, model-driven approach, and mapping key features. We'll help you transition smoothly to unlock higher creative control and next-generation AI video generation.

| InVideo AI | Runway Equivalent | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Text/Article to Video Automation | Text-to-Video (Gen-3 Alpha) | InVideo automates full video assembly. Runway generates raw, artistic video clips from text, requiring subsequent editing in the timeline. |
| Stock Media Library | Runway Asset Library & Generated Media | InVideo offers a vast pre-existing stock library. Runway focuses on AI-generated assets and user uploads; you may need external stock sources. |
| Automated Voiceover & Captions | Text to Speech & AI Captioning Tools | Both offer AI voiceovers. Runway provides more granular control over voice parameters and separate tools for caption generation. |
| Pre-designed Templates | Custom Styles & Brand Kits | InVideo uses rigid templates. Runway uses 'Styles' from generations and user-built brand kits for consistency, offering more flexibility. |
| Drag-and-Drop Editor | Timeline-based AI Editor | InVideo's editor is for simple arrangement. Runway's is a professional-style timeline integrated with AI tools like Inpainting and Motion Brush. |
| Multi-language Support | Text-to-Video/Text-to-Speech in Multiple Languages | Both support multiple languages, but Runway's implementation is often more advanced in its generative models. |
| One-click Background Removal | Green Screen / AI Background Removal | Functionally similar, but Runway's tool is part of a broader suite of VFX like Rotoscoping and Object Removal. |
Data Transfer Guide
There is no direct data transfer or project import from InVideo AI to Runway. The migration is asset-based. First, from InVideo, manually download each final video as an MP4 file via the export/download function. Second, critically, copy all text assets: the original input prompts, final scripts, and any caption text into a document. These text prompts are your most valuable transferable asset for Runway's generative features. In Runway, upload the MP4s to your Workspace Asset Library for use as source footage. Use the saved text prompts as the starting point for generating new video with Runway's text-to-video models. This process transfers the creative intent, not the project file.
