Questions
About Runway without a subscription
Do I need a subscription to use Runway?
Not on GenMagic. You top up a balance from $5 and each Runway clip draws its own price from it, shown before you generate. Top-up credit never expires. There is no Runway account or key to set up: one GenMagic account runs every model.
How much does a Runway video cost?
It depends on the model, the length, the resolution and whether it has sound. Today a typical clip costs $0.90 on Gen-4.5 (5 s at 720p). The studio shows the price for your exact settings before you press Generate, and that is what your balance pays.
Is there a free trial?
A new account gets $0.50 of credit once its email is verified. It works on every model, with no card needed.
Can Runway animate my own picture?
Yes, on Gen-4.5: upload an image and the clip opens on it.
Can I use Runway from n8n, my own code or an AI assistant?
Yes, from the same balance and at the same price: the GenMagic API (POST /api/v1/videos with the model's id, for example runway/gen-4.5), the verified n8n node, Zapier, Make and an MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor.
What if a video fails?
A render that fails is not charged. You pay only for clips that come back.
