Move your team from Runway to Veo.
Each person gets a short interview, then a personalized step-by-step guide showing exactly where their saved work, prompts, and projects land in Veo — and the few things that need a manual step, walked through. You send one invite; nobody becomes the help desk, and nothing in Runway is changed or cancelled. Want to see where you’re paying for both first? Run the free audit.
A team that adopted Veo for AI video (via the Gemini API, Flow, or the Gemini app) can consolidate onto Runway's Gen-4/Gen-4.5 text-and-image-to-video, or vice versa, since both cover prompt-driven and first-frame-image generation with native audio. To move from Veo to Runway, re-author prompts in the Runway web app (Standard $12/mo+) or its developer API; supply a reference image as the first frame where you used Veo image-to-video. Both bill on consumption (Veo per second of output; Runway per credit, ~12 credits/sec for Gen-4.5 via the developer API), so size the plan to your monthly seconds of footage rather than seat count.
- Warning: Clip mechanics differ: Veo 3.1 generates fixed 4/6/8-second clips and extends in 7-second steps up to 20 times, while Runway Gen-4.5 produces clips of up to 10 seconds; storyboards built around Veo's extension chaining must be re-planned around Runway's clip lengths and Act-Two/Aleph editing tools.
- Warning: Reference-image semantics are not identical: Veo accepts up to three 'Ingredients' images for character/object/style consistency, whereas Runway centers consistency on its own references and Gen-4 World Consistency, so prompts and reference sets must be re-tuned, not copied verbatim.
- Warning: Provenance and retention differ: Veo API outputs are auto-deleted from Google's servers after 2 days and always carry a SynthID watermark, while Runway paid plans deliver watermark-free downloads and persistent cloud storage -- the watermark/retention profile of finished assets changes on the move.
