Runway is known for its in-house video models and project-planning agent. Morphic is a complete AI video production workspace with an agent at every stage of the edit: Copilot blocks the shot with you in 3D Scene, runs the generations, and cuts, grades and mixes on the multi-track Compose timeline. Storyboards, songs, sound effects, voiceover and subtitles share the project. Your best process becomes a reusable workflow, with the model and settings saved at every step, so it runs the same way as you scale. Teams get Live collaboration from the Pro plan up, and Enterprise adds User groups and permissions, Credit limits, Model access and Connectors.

What is agentic editing on Morphic?
Agentic editing means an AI agent works inside the edit itself, at every stage. On Morphic, Copilot stages the shot in 3D before any credits go on generation, repairs a take from a written note, and changes the Compose timeline when you describe the change.
- 01
Block the shot in 3D
Place the cast, draw the move, and pick the lens and camera height before the model has to guess them. - 02
Fix the take
Describe what is wrong with a clip, extend it past its last frame, relight it, or re-frame the angle. - 03
Cut with Copilot
Trim, grade and mix on the timeline yourself, or tell Copilot the change and it lands as one undo step.
You can work each stage by hand too. 3D Scene flags a crossed 180-degree line and mismatched speeds, and on paid plans Copilot builds a scene from a prompt and checks its own edits. Export the frame or the shot, attach it, and the model follows that geometry.
Why teams choose Morphic over Runway
Teams pick Morphic when one project has to carry a video from blocking to the final mix. Six parts of the workspace do most of that work.
Copilot in the cut
Ask Copilot to lower the music under the voiceover. One undo reverses it all.
Layered timeline
Stack video and audio tracks, trim to the frame, keep each caption editable.
Grading and keying
Grade with curves, wheels and LUTs, key a green screen, and set blend modes.
Takes fixed in words
Write the change a clip needs, or extend the shot beyond its final frame.
Notes on the frame
Pin feedback to a spot, a region or a moment in a clip, and tag a teammate.
Built for teams
Co-edit live from Pro. Enterprise adds groups, credit limits, model access.

FAQs
For a finished video made in one project, Morphic is the stronger fit. Copilot blocks the shot with you in 3D Scene, runs the generations across the top models, and edits a multi-track Compose timeline with grading, keying and a layered mix, while the team co-edits live. Runway suits work built around its own in-house video models, or run from inside a desktop editor through its plugins.
Yes. Copilot is Morphic's agent. Give it a goal and it plans the steps, chooses a model for each one, runs the generations and returns finished assets. It also works inside the Compose timeline and, on paid plans, inside 3D Scene, so the same agent can stage a shot before generation and edit the cut after it.
Runway centres on its own video models, an agent that plans projects, and a node-based workflow editor. Morphic is a complete AI video production workspace: 3D Scene settles a shot's geometry before you generate, Copilot runs the generations and edits the Compose timeline, workflows are described in plain language, and the team reviews and co-edits live in the same project.
It settles the parts AI video most often gets wrong before you spend credits: where each person stands, which way they move, the lens and the camera height. Block the shot with mannequins and cameras, let continuity checks catch a crossed 180-degree line, then export the frame or shot and attach it as the reference the model follows.
Yes. Upload your images, clips and audio, or hand Copilot a link and it fetches the media for you. Save a recurring character, product or style as a Reference once, and it carries into each generation that calls for it.
Yes. Compose is Morphic's multi-track timeline. Stack as many video and audio layers as the cut needs, trim frame-exact, grade with curves, wheels and LUTs, key a green screen, and keep titles and captions editable. Edit by hand, or ask Copilot, and each request lands whole as a single undo step. Export the finished cut as an MP4 up to 4K.
Yes, as a utility. Runway Ruby powers video enhancement on Morphic, turning SDR footage into HDR with HDR10, HLG and HDR ProRes outputs on paid plans. For generation, Copilot picks a model for each shot from the top video, image and audio models in the workspace, or you choose one yourself.
Yes. On the free plan you can take a project from a first prompt to a finished cut before you pay. Paid plans add Copilot inside 3D Scene, exports without a watermark, upscaling and enhancement, and, from the Pro plan up, extra seats for live collaboration.
