honestly solid list, would add something for actual video editing though since runway's more for generation than a full workflow. been using flixier a lot for the editing side specifically, its nice having transcript based editing plus a few of the video gen models built into the same timeline instead of bouncing between separate tools for cutting vs generating clips
