What AI makers show of finished work

Running times are worth reading

Seven makers print running times, and the spread is wide: Flixly's parts and GenCartoon's mini-movie run 15 seconds, Revid's films 0:28 to 2:01, SceneMixer's sample episodes around two minutes, and Runway's festival winners 4:19 to 8:21. From 3 source pages, read 2026-09-25; no maker pays to be listed.

The number says how much story was attempted in one piece. A film under half a minute is a scene; one of eight minutes needed continuity across dozens of shots.

The source of the piece matters as much as the length. Runway's winners are by named filmmakers, often using several tools; Revid's are marked as generated in one go.

Where no running time is printed, the only way to know is to watch, which is exactly the effort a showcase is meant to save.
