50 image-to-video scenes a month

Illustrated-documentary and animation creators who already have finished stills and need them to move without losing the source.

Run this with my numbers

Assumptions

  • 50 scenes × 7 seconds
  • Starting images supplied for every scene
  • Starting-image preservation is non-negotiable
  • Retry rate not assumed

Workflow stages

  1. Gate. Only image-to-video models with verified starting-image support pass. Text-only models are rejected.
  2. Generate. Runway Gen-4.5 (2–10 s per call) or Gen-4 Turbo (5/10 s) — both accept a starting image; Turbo is cheaper per second but pads a 7-second scene to 10.
  3. Deliver. Both generate natively at 720p. Runway Pro and Max include 4K video upscale; Standard does not.

Known costs (computed now from verified data)

Best Value: Runway Max (Gen-4.5)
$95/mo known subscription cost · nominal, no retry assumption
Not enough evidence

Not enough verified evidence for this critical requirement: Starting-image preservation. No alternative with verified evidence exists in the current data.

  • · Runway Max covers AI video: 4,200 of 9,500 credits (44%).
  • · Costs are nominal generation costs. Retry-adjusted cost is unavailable until you provide a retry assumption under Advanced assumptions.

Same decision engine as /check. No result is hard-coded on this page.

Known limitations and trade-offs

  • There is no independent evidence for source preservation on either model, so the result is labelled 'Not enough verified evidence for this critical requirement' and Quality First is unavailable.
  • Turbo's 3 seconds of padding per scene is duration you pay for and cut.
  • Gen-4.5 generates natively at 720p; Max includes 4K video upscale (verified), so 1080p delivery is a post-generation step within the plan.
  • Runway Max: unused credits may roll over one month — shown as flexibility, never counted as baseline capacity.
  • Max: Additional credits can be purchased: $0.01 per credit, 1,000-credit minimum, never expire (used after monthly and rollover credits).
  • Max: Unused credits roll over for up to one month.

Alternatives

  • Generate exact 7-second clips on Gen-4.5 to avoid padding if per-second cost matters less than waste.
  • Wait for verified preservation evidence before committing to a large plan.
