WHY SWITCH
Why teams switch from Runway to FLORA

Runway's models, plus 50 more, on one canvas
FLORA runs Runway Gen-4 Turbo, Aleph and Act-Two directly, alongside Veo, Sora, Kling, Seedance and frontier image models. You pick the best model per shot without leaving the workspace, instead of committing to one vendor's stack.

Every format, not just video
Runway is video-first with an editor. FLORA composes stills, video, edits and upscales on one node graph, so a full campaign, not just the clips, lives in one place.

Parallel exploration and batch
FLORA's node canvas and permutation batch let you fan out prompts, references and ratios across models at once and compare side by side, where a linear editor moves one step at a time.

Techniques and team brand fidelity
Firefly's Photoshop integration, legal IP indemnification and Adobe procurement are real advantages. FLORA's counter: you own all output, your data isn't used for training, and commercially-safe models like Marey are built in.

When to pick Adobe Firefly vs FLORA
Pick

Runway
If
Your work is primarily high-end AI video and in-video editing, you want the deepest single-vendor video stack (Gen-4, Aleph, Act-Two) and studio-grade tooling, and you do not need a multi-model canvas spanning stills and batch.
Pick
FLORA
If
You want Runway-class video AND 50+ other models on one canvas, you work across stills and video, and you need Techniques, batch and team brand features around the work.
