Video editing with Runway AI uses tools like Motion Brush, Inpainting, and Gen-2 to edit footage without traditional editing skills. You can add motion to still images, remove objects from scenes, generate transitions, and create entirely new clips from text. On aidowith.me, the Reels and Short Videos route has 10 steps that show you how to use Runway's AI video editing tools to produce polished Reels for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. You'll edit existing footage with AI-powered tools, generate new clips, add text overlays, and export in the right format for each platform. The route covers which Runway features to use for different content types: product showcases, behind-the-scenes clips, visual effects, and branded content. Your first polished Reel takes about 45 minutes. No Premiere Pro, no After Effects, no editing timeline. Runway handles what used to require a video editor and hours of manual work.

Questions
For short-form social content, yes. Runway's AI tools handle the editing tasks that Reels and Shorts require: trimming, transitions, effects, text overlays, and format adjustments. For feature-length or complex multi-track projects, traditional editors still have an edge. The route focuses on short-form content where AI editing tools give you the most time savings.
Motion Brush (adds motion to specific parts of an image), Inpainting (removes or replaces objects), Gen-2 (generates clips from text), and style transfer (applies visual styles to footage). The 10-step route on aidowith.me covers all four with hands-on practice. You'll know which feature to use for each type of edit.
Runway's free tier gives you limited credits to try the tools. The Standard plan ($12/month) provides 625 credits, enough for about 5-10 edited Reels. The Pro plan ($28/month) suits weekly content production. Most people start with Standard and upgrade if they produce content regularly.
