Animate this exact image as one continuous five-second 16:9 shot. The golden retriever stays standing on the rock, slowly turns its head to the left toward the valley, then looks back at the camera. The red cape ripples continuously in the wind, the glowing particles drift to the right, and the clouds move slowly. The camera pushes in gently. Keep the dog's face, fur color, harness, cape, and the landscape consistent with the first frame. No cuts, no text, no logos, no subtitles.
Where is the difference?
Bar length shows the gap: for ratings full width from 60 points, for price from four times as much, for clip length from 20 seconds. Solid means clearly ahead, hatched slightly ahead, a thin grey bar level.
All data side by side

Ratings come from the LMArena: people see two videos for the same prompt without knowing which model made them and pick the better one. Many such picks add up to a rating, higher is better. Text to video and image to video are separate lists and are never added together.
“Ahead” means one model stays clearly higher even with the rating’s uncertainty. “Slightly ahead” means its value is higher but the gap is not certain yet. Otherwise both count as level. Places count only the models of our comparison.
Prices and clip lengths come from the providers’ documentation. From a factor of 1.25 a model counts as cheaper or longer, below that as about the same.
