Does Astorie have Runway Gen-4?

Yes — Runway Gen-4 is one of the video models on Astorie, alongside Sora 2, Veo 3.1, Kling 3, and others. You can call Gen-4 from a node on the canvas and chain its output into lipsync, audio, or another model. Output quality is the same as Runway's native experience because the model is the same.

Is Astorie Gen-4 output better than Runway Gen-4 native?

No — when the model is Gen-4, the output is Gen-4. The win for Astorie is workflow: chaining Gen-4 with other models, multi-shot storyboard, team collaboration, and NLE export. Pixel quality is identical.

Does Astorie have an Inpainting or Green Screen tool like Runway?

Astorie covers inpainting and matting via composable nodes (FLUX Kontext, removal nodes), but Runway's purpose-built effects suite is more polished today for those specific tasks. If your workflow depends heavily on Green Screen and Inpainting as native operations, Runway has the edge there.

Can I export to Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro?

Yes. Astorie exports XML and EDL with clip timing intact, so a multi-shot canvas opens directly in Premiere Pro, Resolve, or FCP. Runway today is download-MP4s-and-rebuild; the multi-shot timeline is an Astorie-specific shortcut.

How does Astorie pricing compare to Runway?

Astorie has a free tier with 200 credits per month and team-aware paid tiers. Runway's free tier limits credits and locks Gen-4 behind paid plans (Standard, Pro, Unlimited, Enterprise). When the model is Gen-4, per-clip cost is comparable — the difference is what surrounds the clip.

Can my team collaborate on the same canvas at once?

Yes — Astorie is multiplayer like Figma. Multiple editors share one canvas, and workspaces add billing isolation, per-member credit limits, and shared presets. Runway has team plans, but the editing surface is single-user per project.

Runway Alternative on Astorie

Runway is one of the strongest native AI video tools today — Gen-4 and Gen-4.5 lead on motion and consistency, and the in-app effects (Green Screen, Inpainting, Upscale, Act-Two, Aleph) are mature. Pick Runway when you want the polished native Gen-4 experience and you can live inside one model. Pick Astorie when you want Runway alongside Sora, Veo, Kling, and the rest — chained on a node canvas with NLE export and team collaboration. Same Gen-4 quality either way; the question is whether you need a workflow around it.

When to choose Astorie

You need to mix Runway Gen-4 with Sora 2, Veo 3.1, Kling 3, and Hailuo in one project rather than commit to a single model.
You hand off to Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro and want XML/EDL export with clip timing intact.
Multi-shot narrative or episodic work — storyboard mode and script nodes treat the project as more than a clip-by-clip prompt feed.
Your team collaborates live on the canvas, with workspace billing and per-member credit limits.
You want broader modality — audio, music, lipsync, 3D, and LLM nodes — in the same project as the video work.

Attribute	Astorie	Runway
Primary surface	Infinite node canvas with multi-step workflows.	Polished prompt-and-play UI focused on single-clip generation.
Model coverage	Sora 2, Veo 3.1, Kling 3 / O3, Runway Gen-4 / Aleph, Hailuo, Vidu, Seedance 2, plus image and audio models.	Gen-4 and Gen-4.5 native, with Aleph for video-to-video; tuned to one family.
Native effects	Inpainting and upscale via composable nodes; relies on best-in-class models for each step.	Strong native suite: Green Screen, Inpainting, 4K Upscaling, Act-Two, Aleph V2V.
Multi-model chaining	Visual graph wires any model output into the next without exporting.	Single-model, single-clip; chaining beyond Gen-4 means leaving the app.
Multi-shot / storyboard	Storyboard mode and script nodes for multi-shot consistency in one project.	Clip-by-clip workflow; multi-shot consistency is the operator’s responsibility.
NLE export	XML and EDL out to Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro.	Direct download of MP4s; no native timeline export.
Team collaboration	Multiplayer canvas, workspace billing, per-member credit limits.	Team plans exist, but the editing surface is single-user per project.
Pricing posture	Free tier with 200 credits per month; paid tiers transparent and team-aware.	Free with limited one-time credits and no Gen-4; Standard, Pro, Unlimited, Enterprise ladder.
Output quality on Gen-4	Same as native — when you call Gen-4 on Astorie you get Gen-4 output.	Native Gen-4 with the deepest set of model-specific in-app tools.
Modality breadth	Image, video, audio, music, 3D, LLM in one canvas.	Video-first with adjacent image and audio features.

Step	Astorie	Runway
Brief: a 30-second product ad with multi-shot coverage and music	Open one canvas project; place a script node, image references, four image-to-video nodes, music and voice nodes, plus an export node.	Open the prompt UI; plan to generate four clips in sequence and assemble them later.
Generate stills	Use Nano Banana 2 or FLUX Kontext for hero stills with consistent reference images.	Generate stills inside Runway or import from another tool.
Animate and shape motion	Mix Runway Gen-4 for the motion-heavy hero shot with Seedance 2 or Kling 3 for product turntables, all in one graph.	Run each clip on Gen-4; rely on Aleph for V2V transformations of references.
Audio and music	ElevenLabs voiceover node + a music model node aligned to clip durations on the canvas.	Use Runway voice/music features or move to a separate audio tool.
Edit and export	Storyboard track + XML/EDL export into Premiere Pro for the final cut.	Download MP4s and assemble in your NLE from scratch.
