Vantacut vs Runway: editor, not a generator.
Runway makes clips from prompts. Vantacut cuts clips you already shot. Calling both an AI video editor hides the job.

The job
If the day was filmed, you need an editor. If the day was not filmed, you need a generator. Vantacut is the first.
Side by side
| Question | Runway | Vantacut |
|---|---|---|
| Input | A prompt, a still, a short clip to transform. | A bin of event cards and a music bed. |
| Invented picture | The point of the product is picture that was not shot. | If the camera missed it, it is not in the reel. We do not generate a kiss. |
| Hours of cards | Not the workflow. | Analyse is priced on hours of footage; a wedding’s worth is a normal job. |
| Privacy of the day | Media goes to a cloud model. | Originals stay on the machine. Previews for Analyse are low-resolution, with sound, and you agree first. |
| Output | Generated clips you then have to edit somewhere. | A highlight on a real timeline, colour-balanced, yours to trim. |
Choose Runway if
You need a shot that does not exist, and you are willing to generate it.
Choose Vantacut if
You shot the wedding, the couple is waiting, and the footage is the film.
Your footage stays on the machine
Editing, playback and export run on your computer. Analyse sends short, low-resolution previews of each clip, which carry the recorded sound, and the app asks you to agree first. Originals are not copied, moved or uploaded. The editor runs worldwide, in English; prices are in Indian rupees.
Questions
Can I mix generated B-roll into a Vantacut timeline?
You can import any clip. The AI Cut still only sees what is in the bin.
Is Vantacut text-to-video?
No. It is footage-first.
