Lumen Trust Notes

Runway

Runway is a cloud-only platform; all video generation and processing happens on its servers with no self-hosted option. It holds a strong creative mission with transparent content ownership policies on paid tiers, and its tools deliver genuine value for professional media production. Recommended for marketing and creative teams; verify content ownership terms before using outputs in commercial productions.

ElevenLabs

Voice generation and cloning are processed on ElevenLabs cloud servers; cloned voice data is stored remotely. While the technology is impressive and genuinely accessible via a free tier, the potential for voice misuse means Purpose earns only a Medium — responsible safeguards exist but the platform can be misused for synthetic fraud. Recommended for legitimate content creation; always disclose AI voice usage to your audience.
