Runway alternative for AI video
Multi-model video, stills, storyboards, free stitch — not a Runway clone.
Honest take
Searching for a Runway alternative (or comparing CapCut AI / InVideo-style editors)? Lucy Labs helps you generate AI videos and stills, storyboard ads, and stitch longer cuts in a free browser editor. Lucy is not identical to Runway, CapCut AI, or InVideo.

FAQ
- Is Lucy Labs the same as Runway?
- No. Runway is its own creative suite. Lucy is a separate creative AI toolkit: pay-as-you-go multi-model video, prepaid stills, /ads storyboards, and a free browser stitch editor. Lucy does not claim feature parity with Runway.
- What about CapCut AI or InVideo?
- Those products emphasize template/editor-led workflows. Lucy focuses on generating clips across leading AI video models, then stitching or storyboarding. Prefer CapCut AI / InVideo when you want their template ecosystems; prefer Lucy for multi-model generation + stills + free /stitch.
- When might someone prefer Lucy as a Runway alternative?
- Makers who want multi-model text/image to video plus stills, ad storyboarding, and free in-browser stitch — with pay-as-you-go video tryable without signup.
