Wiring up Runway or VEED
Runway and VEED document different things on six of the nine hooks: agent hooks, resolution, downloads, file formats, SDKs and job signals. From 4 source pages, read 2026-09-25; no maker pays to be listed.
| Feature | Runway | VEED |
|---|---|---|
| Public API | An API for its own models | An API for its own models |
| Agent and automation hooks | An MCP connection | Not documented in the docs read |
| Highest resolution named | 1080p | 4K |
| Hand-off to editing software | Not documented in the docs read | Not documented in the docs read |
| Subtitle files | Not documented in the docs read | Not documented in the docs read |
| The finished file | A link or file that expires | Not documented in the docs read |
| File formats named | Not documented in the docs read | VP9 with alpha |
| Official SDKs | SDKs in two or more languages | One SDK or client |
| Finished-job signal | A status polled until done | A webhook or callback URL |
Inclusion rule. The nine hooks every tool in the register is read for. Order. The order hooks take on every tool page.
1Where they part
Runway documents agent hooks and downloads, which VEED's pages leave out. VEED documents file formats, which Runway's pages leave out. For API access the two match: an API for its own models. For resolution, Runway names 1080p and VEED 4K. For SDKs, Runway names sDKs in two or more languages and VEED one SDK or client. For job signals, Runway names a status polled until done and VEED a webhook or callback URL. Neither documents editing hand-off or subtitle files.

3A third tool on getting the file out, beside Runway and VEED
| Field | SceneMixer | Source |
|---|---|---|
| The finished file | A full-quality download and a share link; the browser plays a lighter copy | SceneMixer, guide to compositing and sharing an episode |
Inclusion rule. Fields on which SceneMixer's pages state something; most toolkit fields are not its subject. Order. The order fields take on every tool page.
