Rain And Weather Video Models
Generated on PixelDojo. Produced by PixelDojo's generation pipeline.
WAN 2.2 Standard is the best value model for rain and weather, because it charges a flat 3 credits and handed back 6.3 seconds of footage, which is 0.48 credits for every delivered second. Weather shots are usually background plates that need length more than they need a hero frame, so seconds per credit is the number that decides this one. We sent one identical coastal squall prompt to three models on August 26, 2026 and probed every file. WAN 2.2 Standard returned 832 by 480 at 30 frames per second, silent. Seedance 2 Mini returned 864 by 496 at 24 frames per second for 5 credits. Gemini Omni Flash returned 1280 by 720 at 24 frames per second for 8 credits and was the only one of the three at 720p. The ranking basis is credits per delivered second first, then resolution and audio spec.
Side-by-side, same prompt
Every model below ran the identical prompt on PixelDojo so the outputs are directly comparable: “Heavy rain sweeps across a coastal road as a squall line moves in, water sheeting off the tarmac, palm trees bending in the wind, overcast storm light”
WAN 2.2 Standard
151s3 credits flat, and we asked for 5 seconds and got 6.3 back at 30 frames per second. That is 0.48 credits per delivered second, the cheapest weather footage in the test by a distance.
Seedance 2 Mini
162s5 credits for 5 seconds at the 480p rate of 1 credit per second. Returned 864 by 496 at 24 frames per second with a stereo track, though at a 32 kHz sample rate rather than the usual 44.1 or 48.
Gemini Omni Flash
167sThe only 1280 by 720 file here and the only 48 kHz audio, at 2 credits per second. Our 4 second minimum run cost 8 credits, four times what the same length costs on WAN 2.2 Standard.
Sorted by what a delivered second of storm footage costs
1. WAN 2.2 Standard, more seconds than we paid for
This run cost a flat 3 credits and was ready 151 seconds after the request, the first of the three back. The interesting part is the file. We asked for 5 seconds and the finished clip measured 6.30 seconds, 189 frames at 30 frames per second, 832 by 480, 1,269,920 bytes. So the delivered rate is 0.48 credits per second of usable rain, against 0.98 on the next model and 2.00 on the third. It is also the only one of the three that returned 30 frames per second, which matters more than it looks for sheeting water. What you give up is obvious in the numbers: 0.20 megabytes per second of video, the thinnest file in the test, and no audio stream at all. Skip it when the storm is the hero shot rather than a plate behind something else, because 832 by 480 does not survive a full screen crop, and skip it if you need rain noise in the same file.
2. Seedance 2 Mini, the cheapest clip that arrives with sound
Our run cost 5 credits, a 5 second clip at the 480p rate of 1 credit per second, and it was ready 162 seconds after the request. The file measured 864 by 496 at 24 frames per second over 5.09 seconds and 1,665,328 bytes, which is 0.33 megabytes per second of video. It carried a stereo AAC track at a mean of minus 21.8 decibels and a peak of minus 7.7, so there is real storm ambience in there rather than a token silent stream. The catch is the sample rate. At 32 kHz it is the only file in this test below 44.1, so an editor set to 48 kHz will resample it. Durations are fixed at 5, 10 or 15 seconds and the 720p tier doubles the rate to 2 credits per second. Skip it if you need to trim to an exact length under 5 seconds, since there is nothing shorter on offer, and skip it if 32 kHz audio is a problem in your mix.
3. Gemini Omni Flash, the sharpest storm and the biggest bill
This run cost 8 credits, a 4 second clip at 2 credits per second, and it was ready 167 seconds after the request. It measured 1280 by 720 at 24 frames per second over 4.01 seconds and 1,079,086 bytes, with stereo audio at 48 kHz, a mean of minus 21.9 decibels and a peak of minus 5.2. On paper that is the best specification here: the only 720p file and the only 48 kHz track, which drops straight into a 48 kHz timeline with no conversion. The arithmetic is the problem. 4 seconds is the shortest run the model accepts, so 8 credits is the floor, and the same 4 seconds on WAN 2.2 Standard is part of a 3 credit clip. Its file is also thin for its resolution at 0.27 megabytes per second, well under half what WAN 2.2 Standard packs into a quarter of the pixels. Skip it whenever the weather is background and pick it when the rain has to hold a full frame.
Three storm plates, one prompt, 16 credits total. The cheapest delivered second cost 0.48 credits and the most expensive cost 2.00, a spread of more than four times for footage of the same squall.
Why Choose Pixel Dojo for Rain And Weather Video Models
Professional-quality results with cutting-edge AI technology
The delivered length is not always the length you asked for
We requested 5 seconds from WAN 2.2 Standard and the file came back at 6.30 seconds. Measure what arrives before you work out a rate, because the request field and the container can disagree.
Audio sample rate varies more than you would expect
The three files came back at 32 kHz, 48 kHz and no audio stream at all. If your edit runs at 48 kHz, that is one conversion avoided and two you will not notice until you hear them.
A full three model weather test cost 16 credits
3, 5 and 8 credits at each model's shortest accepted run. Running all three on the same prompt costs less than one clip from most of the premium tiers.
How It Works
How to get a weather plate that cuts into real footage:
Describe the system, not just the rain
Our prompt named the squall line moving in, the water sheeting off the road and the trees bending. Prompts that only say heavy rain tend to return a wet surface with nothing driving it.
Ask for the shortest run the model sells, then price the second
We used 5, 5 and 4 seconds, the floor on each model. Dividing the charge by the length of the file that actually arrives is the only honest way to compare rates.
Check the frame rate and the audio sample rate on delivery
We found 30 frames per second on one file and 24 on two, and audio at 32 kHz, 48 kHz and nothing at all. None of that appears on a listing page, and all of it changes how the clip behaves in an edit.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about Rain And Weather Video Models
Which AI video model is best for rain and weather?
WAN 2.2 Standard for value, on our August 26, 2026 test. It charges 3 credits flat and delivered 6.30 seconds at 30 frames per second, which is 0.48 credits per second of footage. Gemini Omni Flash is the pick when the rain has to fill the frame, because it was the only file at 1280 by 720.
What did each weather clip cost?
WAN 2.2 Standard was 3 credits flat. Seedance 2 Mini was 5 credits for 5 seconds at 1 credit per second. Gemini Omni Flash was 8 credits for its 4 second minimum at 2 credits per second. The three together came to 16 credits.
How long did each one take?
All three were finished by our first status check, 151 to 167 seconds after the requests went out. The gap between them is inside normal queue variation, so we ranked on cost and file measurements instead of speed.
Do the rain clips come with sound?
Two of the three did. Seedance 2 Mini returned stereo audio at 32 kHz with a mean of minus 21.8 decibels, and Gemini Omni Flash returned stereo at 48 kHz with a mean of minus 21.9. Our WAN 2.2 Standard file had no audio stream at all.
How do I make the storm footage longer?
Seedance 2 Mini offers 5, 10 and 15 second runs at 1 credit per second at 480p, so 15 seconds of rain is 15 credits. Gemini Omni Flash offers 4, 6, 8 and 10 seconds at 2 credits per second. WAN 2.2 Standard is a flat charge and returned 6.3 seconds for us.
How do I run these from the API?
POST to /api/v1/models/wan-2.2-standard/run, /api/v1/models/seedance-2-mini/run or /api/v1/models/google-gemini-omni-flash/run with your prompt and a duration. One key covers the whole catalog and the request shape is identical across models.
