Underwater Video Models
Generated on PixelDojo. Produced by PixelDojo's generation pipeline.
P Video gave us the most footage per credit with the largest frame, at 2.5 credits for a 5 second 1280 by 704 clip that arrived in 43 seconds. We sent the same reef prompt to three video models on August 26, 2026, every one of them at the cheapest resolution and duration it accepts, and timed each job from submission to finished file. WAN 2.2 Standard was the cheapest footage of all, 3 credits for 6.3 seconds at 30 frames per second, but it made us wait 265 seconds for it. Pixverse came back in 41 seconds, the quickest, and charged 7.5 credits for a smaller frame. All three clips are on this page, so you can judge the water yourself.
Side-by-side, same prompt
Every model below ran the identical prompt on PixelDojo so the outputs are directly comparable: “Sunlight beams cut through clear blue water as a sea turtle glides over a coral reef, slow drifting camera, fish scattering, underwater cinematography”
P Video
43s0.5 credits per second of footage and the biggest frame in the test at 1280 by 704. 2.5 credits, 43 seconds, 5 seconds at 24 fps.
WAN 2.2 Standard
265sCheapest footage at about 0.48 credits per second, longest clip and the only 30 fps output. 3 credits, 265 seconds, 6.3 seconds at 832 by 480.
Pixverse
41sFastest turnaround at 41 seconds, and the most expensive at about 1.49 credits per second. 7.5 credits, 5 seconds at 1024 by 576.
Our order, the numbers behind it, and when each one is the wrong call
1. P Video, 2.5 credits, 43 seconds
P Video charges 0.5 credits per second of video at its 720p tier, so our 5 second reef clip cost 2.5 credits, and it delivered the largest frame of the three at 1280 by 704, 24 frames per second, 5.04 seconds long. It also came back in 43 seconds, close to the fastest here. That combination is why it leads: nothing else in the test gave a bigger picture for less money, and the wait is short enough to iterate on a prompt while you are still thinking about it. Duration is a dial from 1 to 20 seconds, and the price follows it, so a 10 second underwater establishing shot is 5 credits. Skip it if you need 30 frames per second, because this run came back at 24. There is a draft mode at 0.1 credits per second if you only want to check a composition before paying for the real thing.
2. WAN 2.2 Standard, 3 credits, 265 seconds
WAN 2.2 Standard is the cheapest footage in the test once you divide by length. It charges a flat 3 credits at 480p regardless of duration, and it returned 6.3 seconds, longer than either of the others, which works out at about 0.48 credits per second. It was also the only model here that delivered 30 frames per second, and for water that matters, since the extra frames give drifting light and moving fish more to work with. The cost is patience. Our job took 265 seconds, more than six times the P Video wait, and the frame is the smallest at 832 by 480. Skip it when you are iterating, because four and a half minutes per attempt turns a five prompt exploration into half an hour. Choose it when you know the shot you want and would rather spend time than credits.
3. Pixverse, 7.5 credits, 41 seconds
Pixverse was the quickest model in the test at 41 seconds from submission to finished file, and it returned 1024 by 576 at 24 frames per second over 5.04 seconds. The problem is the meter. It bills 1.5 credits per second at its lower quality tiers, so the same 5 second clip cost 7.5 credits, three times P Video and two and a half times WAN 2.2 Standard, for a frame that sits between the two on size. If a fast loop is worth paying for, that is a real reason to pick it, and the gap in wait time against WAN 2.2 Standard is over three and a half minutes. Skip it when the job is a batch. Ten underwater clips here cost 75 credits, where P Video does the same run for 25.
One reef prompt, three models, cheapest settings on each. Prices ran from 2.5 to 7.5 credits. Waiting ran from 41 seconds to 265 seconds.
Why Choose Pixel Dojo for Underwater Video Models
Professional-quality results with cutting-edge AI technology
Price the second, not the clip
Clip lengths differ. Dividing credits by delivered seconds put 0.48, 0.50 and 1.49 credits per second on the three models.
Cheapest settings still look like footage
Every run here used the lowest resolution and shortest duration the model accepts, and all three returned usable 5 to 6 second clips.
Wait time is the real spread
Credits varied by three times. Waiting varied by six times, from 41 seconds to 265 seconds on the same prompt.
How It Works
How the comparison was run:
Cheapest settings on every model
One reef prompt, no image input, each model set to the lowest resolution and shortest duration it accepts. That is why the clips differ in size and length.
Timed from submission to finished file
We recorded a timestamp at submission and another when the video file was written. That gives 41 seconds, 43 seconds and 265 seconds.
Divided credits by delivered seconds
Each model reports its own charge, and the clips came back at different lengths, so the ranking uses credits per second of footage rather than credits per job.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about Underwater Video Models
Which AI video model is best for underwater scenes?
P Video on this test. It gave the biggest frame at 1280 by 704 for the lowest price per second, 0.5 credits, and returned in 43 seconds. WAN 2.2 Standard is slightly cheaper per second of footage but took 265 seconds and came back at 832 by 480.
How much does a 5 second underwater clip cost?
2.5 credits on P Video at its 720p tier, 3 credits on WAN 2.2 Standard at 480p, which returned 6.3 seconds, and 7.5 credits on Pixverse. Those are the exact charges for the runs shown on this page.
Which one was fastest?
Pixverse at 41 seconds, then P Video at 43 seconds, then WAN 2.2 Standard at 265 seconds. Queue load moves these figures, so treat them as a snapshot of one afternoon rather than a guarantee.
How did you rank them?
On measured credits per second of delivered footage, the frame size and frame rate that actually came back, and the wait from submission to finished file. Each clip is embedded above so you can judge the look of the water for yourself.
Can I make longer underwater clips?
Yes. P Video takes a duration from 1 to 20 seconds and bills by the second, so a 10 second shot is 5 credits at 720p. The other two run in fixed short lengths, so longer sequences mean generating several clips and joining them.
Can I call these models from an API?
Yes. POST to /api/v1/models/p-video/run, /api/v1/models/wan-2.2-standard/run or /api/v1/models/pixverse/run with the same key and body shape. Video jobs return a job id you poll until the file is ready.
