How to Migrate from Runway to Fliki (Step-by-Step)

Last updated: April 2026

Migrating from Runway to Fliki is ideal for creators prioritizing speed, voiceovers, and text-to-video workflows over advanced video generation and editing. Runway excels with Gen-3 Alpha for high-quality AI video creation and complex VFX, while Fliki specializes in rapidly converting scripts and blog posts into narrated videos using realistic AI voices. This guide covers a complete migration strategy, including exporting your assets from Runway, adapting your workflow to Fliki's text-first interface, mapping key features, and establishing a new production pipeline. We'll address data transfer limitations and provide a realistic timeline for the switch.

Estimated Timeline

solo user

2-5 days (for audit, recreating a few key projects, and workflow adjustment)

small team

1-2 weeks (including team training on the new script-first workflow and asset library setup)

enterprise

3-6 weeks (requires formal workflow redesign, training, and potentially a phased migration of content categories)

Feature Mapping

RunwayFliki EquivalentNotes
Gen-3 Alpha Text/Image to VideoAI Image Generation & Stock LibraryMajor difference: Runway generates dynamic video from prompts. Fliki generates static AI images or uses stock videos/photos to visualize a written script. For motion, you must import pre-made video clips.
AI-Powered Video Editing (Inpainting, Motion Brushes)Basic Timeline Trimming & OverlaysFliki's editor is for assembling scenes synced to a script. It lacks Runway's advanced, AI-driven frame-by-frame visual effects and object manipulation tools.
Green Screen / Chroma KeyNot directly availableFliki does not have a built-in chroma key tool. You would need to remove backgrounds in another editor before importing assets.
Text Prompts for Video GenerationText Script for Narration & Scene DirectionConceptual shift: In Runway, text prompts the visual. In Fliki, text becomes the spoken audio track, and the platform suggests visuals based on that text.
Frame-by-frame Consistency ToolsN/AFliki's scene-based model does not offer fine-grained control over inter-frame coherence like Runway's advanced models do.
Real-Time CollaborationShareable Projects & LinksBoth offer collaboration, but the mechanics differ. Fliki allows sharing edit links for feedback, while Runway may offer more simultaneous multi-editor functionality.
Audio Editing SuiteText-to-Speech & Music LibraryFliki's core strength is its 1900+ AI voices and background music integration. It lacks Runway's waveform-based audio editing for imported sound files.

Data Transfer Guide

Direct project file transfer from Runway to Fliki is impossible due to incompatible proprietary formats. Your migration is an asset-based export and recreation process. From Runway: 1) Use the 'Download' or 'Export' function on each final video project. Download the highest quality MP4 files available to your computer or cloud storage (Google Drive, Dropbox). 2) Manually document and save any text prompts, image inputs, or key edit notes from unfinished projects as text files. For import into Fliki: 1) Upload your downloaded MP4 video files directly into Fliki's media library. 2) Use these as video clips within new Fliki projects. 3) Recreate project concepts by writing new narration scripts in Fliki's text editor, using your old prompts as inspiration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I transfer my data from Runway to Fliki?+
You can only transfer exported final video files (MP4). Runway project files, edit histories, and AI model settings are proprietary and cannot be imported into Fliki. Migration involves recreating projects using your exported assets and rewritten scripts.
How long does migration take?+
For a solo user, expect 2-5 days to audit, export assets, and successfully recreate a few pilot projects in Fliki to learn the new workflow. The timeline scales with the volume and complexity of legacy projects.
Will I lose any features switching to Fliki?+
Yes. You will lose access to Runway's industry-leading generative video models (Gen-3) and its advanced, AI-powered video editing toolkit (inpainting, motion tracking). Fliki replaces these with superior text-to-speech and rapid script-to-video assembly.
Can I use both tools during migration?+
Absolutely. A hybrid approach is recommended. Use Fliki for new narrated video projects and Runway for generating specific, complex visual assets to import into Fliki. This eases the transition and leverages both tools' strengths.
Is Fliki cheaper than Runway?+
Pricing depends on usage, but Fliki's entry-level paid plans are often more affordable for users focused on volume output of narrated videos. Runway's pricing reflects the cost of its computationally intensive generative AI models. Compare the feature sets against your actual needs.
