Wan 3.0 is Alibaba's all-in-one AI video generation model, launched on August 6, 2026. It supports text, image, video, and audio inputs, with native audio, up to 1080p output, and video generation up to 30 seconds.
Wan 3.0 brings text, images, video, and audio into one creative workflow. Start with a simple prompt or guide the result with multiple reference files. Create videos up to 30 seconds with native audio, consistent characters, and fewer content restrictions.
| Type | Input or output | Support |
|---|---|---|
| Input | Text prompt | Up to 20,000 characters |
| Input | First frame | 1 image |
| Input | Last frame | 1 image, used with a first frame |
| Input | Reference images | Up to 10 images |
| Input | Reference videos | Up to 5 videos, 15 seconds total |
| Input | Reference audio | Up to 5 audio files, 15 seconds total |
| Output | Video duration | 2–30 seconds |
| Output | Resolution | 480p, 720p, or 1080p |
| Output | Frame rate | 30 FPS |
| Output | Aspect ratio | Adaptive, 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, or 3:4 |
| Output | Audio | Native dialogue, sound effects, ambience, and music |
| Output | File format | MP4 |
Wan 3.0 combines longer video generation, multimodal references, native audio, and flexible output settings in one model.
Compared with Seedance 2.5, Wan 3.0 accepts a broader range of prompts involving well-known characters, franchises, and visual styles. This gives creators more flexibility when exploring fan concepts and recognizable aesthetics.
Generate videos from 2 to 30 seconds in a single task. The longer duration gives Wan 3.0 more room for connected actions, camera movement, scene transitions, and complete short stories without stitching several clips together.
Use up to 10 images, 5 videos, and 5 audio files in one creative workflow. Images can define characters and visual style, videos can guide motion and camera movement, and audio can provide voices, music, or timing.
Wan 3.0 supports native 480p, 720p, and 1080p video generation at 30 FPS. You can choose a lower resolution for faster tests or generate directly at 1080p when the final video needs more detail.
Generate dialogue, sound effects, background ambience, and music together with the video. This helps the sound follow the action and reduces the need to build a separate audio track after generation.
Wan 3.0 supports text-to-video, image-to-video, first-and-last-frame generation, multi-reference generation, video editing, and video extension. You can create a new scene, animate an image, control how a video begins and ends, combine several references, edit existing footage, or continue a clip beyond its original ending.
Select Wan 3.0 Video or the faster Wan 3.0 Prime. Then choose Text to Video, Image to Video, First and Last Frame, Multi-Reference, Video Edit, or Video Extend.
Describe the subject, action, camera movement, style, and sound. Depending on the workflow, you can also upload images, videos, or audio as references.
Choose a duration from 2 to 30 seconds, an aspect ratio, and 480p, 720p, or 1080p output. Check the credit cost, generate the video, then preview or download the result.

I use loose timestamps with Wan 3.0. Detailed timing can confuse the model, but some structure still helps.

XSeedance 2.0 vs Wan 3.0. Same 10-second skydiving sequence. Two AI video models. Which version looks more convincing?
@lepadphone
XFirst try with Wan 3.0. 1080p, 30 seconds. The motion, cuts, and shot design, seriously IMPRESSIVE.
@Ryuki_Yano
XWan 3.0's R2V for 1080p generation → 4K upscaling. It's appealing that it runs this smoothly and beautifully at such a low cost!
