Sound Effects

The sound of rain has a calming effect on just about everyone. The sound of drops hitting the window, or thunder pealing in the distance, makes us want to stay inside, stay dry, and stay in bed.

Rain sound effects are excellent background elements, but they also work well as foreground cues if you want to invoke a particular mood in your audience. There are tons of rain sound effects in the Videvo library, but here are a few of our favorites to get you started.

Video Clips

Rain videos and raining video backgrounds are perfect ways to set a sombre or contemplative mood in your video projects. Whether you need a rain video to accompany the latest episode of your podcast on YouTube, or maybe some rain videos to create background videos for your own stab at the Poor Man’s Process, we’ve got just about every variety of rainy video you can think of.

Here are just a few to get started. And after you’ve downloaded these, head to the library for a few more options.

Motion Graphics

If you’re looking for an animated background or a way to bring some animated effects into your project, these rain-related motion graphics are the perfect way to create your own storm.
