This is the JSON Alibaba's API returned for this clip, untouched. Every field on the strip above is read out of it. If the two ever disagree, the strip is the bug.

Seven Wan 3.0 prompts — each one beside the clip it describes
Every card shows a clip and the exact prompt that produced it — not a summary. One press loads it into the generator at the badge's ratio, length and resolution.

16:9 · 720P · 15SThe full prompt, not a summary
A teenage girl in an oversized grey sweater and a pleated skirt walks across a campus forecourt in the middle of the day, other students in uniform passing without looking at her; her right arm is a glossy pink prosthetic. Then she stops and armour plates unfold from that arm and travel across her body until she is inside a full pink mech suit, the visor closing last. After that the camera…
Street noise and footsteps first, then servo whine and plate locks, then a low rumble under the brute, no music.

Four ways into the Wan 3.0 AI video generator
One model covers all four. Wan 3.0 folded text, image, reference and editing into a single endpoint, so you are not switching products between jobs — and a reference set up for one shot still applies to the next.
Wan 3.0 text to video: what one prompt has to carry
A prompt here does two jobs at once: the picture and the soundtrack come out of the same pass. Beside this is one prompt revealed a layer at a time — subject, camera, light, sound — with the clip changing as each lands.
Five dancers in black chiffon stand in a bank of ground fog,
lit from directly behind by one hard white source, no fill.
They gather, they open outward, they draw back in and hold.
Breath, bare feet on a wooden floor, the rustle of fabric. No music.
- Subject · camera · light
- Sound — same prompt
16:9 · 720P · 12Swan3.0-video · 16:9 · 720P · 12s · sound in the same pass
Those four lines are the shape of the prompt behind this clip; the whole thing runs to 876 characters and is printed in full on [/prompt-ideas](/prompt-ideas). Wan 3.0 takes 20,000 — about 3,000 words, or a twelve-page script, for a clip of at most thirty seconds. The room is for being specific, not for writing more.
Wan 3.0 image to video: first frame, last frame, or both
Give Wan 3.0 one still and it starts there. Give it two and it has to arrive — a last frame is a destination, not a suggestion, which is what makes two-ended runs the predictable way to work.
WAN 3.0 · 16:9 · 720P · 5Swan3.0-video-prime · 16:9 · 720P · 5s
Wan 3.0 generates everything between
- 0 images = text to video
- 1 image = one anchor
- 2 images = both ends pinned
- JPEG · PNG · WebP · BMP · ≤20MB
- No alpha channel — flatten transparent PNGs
JPEG, PNG, WebP or BMP, up to 20MB. The input that fails without an obvious reason is a PNG carrying transparency: Wan 3.0 takes no alpha channel, so flatten it before you upload.
Wan 3.0 reference to video: one face across the whole take
Load up to 10 images, 5 video clips and 5 audio tracks into one generation and point at them by number — Image 1, Video 2. Beside this is one reference carried across a whole take: same subject, first second to last.

16:9 · 5SSame performer, same outfit · 16:9 · 5s
- Images ≤ 10 — free
- Clips ≤ 5 · 15s total — billed
- Audio ≤ 5 — free
- Reference seconds count against the 30s ceiling
Images and audio attach for free. Reference video does not: its seconds bill at your output rate and count against the same 30-second ceiling, so a 15-second reference plus a 15-second result is the longest run you can ask for.
Turn a PPT, PDF or web page into video
The part other video models do not do. Give Wan 3.0 a deck, a report or a public URL and it reads what is inside and generates footage from the content — new video, not your slides with an avatar reading the bullets.
- A long-haul chassis that reconfigures in the field
- Eight minutes from road profile to working profile
- First customer trials on the interstate corridor in Q4
SAMPLE · 16:9 · 15SA sample render standing in for the output, and the same clip the deck-to-teaser card below uses. Our own document runs land here once the upstream key is live.
One file or one link per run · up to 100MB · up to 50 pages · doc, xls, ppt, pdf, txt, key, pages, numbers, md
It works best when the document carries a story the video can retell — a launch deck, a feature spec, a set of results worth dramatising. It works badly when the deck itself is the deliverable, or when the numbers on the slide have to appear on screen exactly as typed: Wan 3.0 renders text well for a video model, but it is generating that text, not copying it. Check anything legal or financial frame by frame before you publish.
Six jobs people are already using Wan 3.0 for
Six jobs, each with a runnable prompt and the clip that prompt describes. The clips are sample renders rather than our own output until the upstream key is live, and where a job is a bad fit for Wan 3.0 we say so rather than leave it out.
16:9 · 30s · 960 creditsProduct cut for a launch post
Thirty seconds of Wan 3.0 is long enough to place the product, live with it for a beat and land on the hero shot — one take, with the sound already under it.
- 16:9 · 20s · 640 credits
Turning a deck into a teaser
Drop the launch PDF in and Wan 3.0 builds the visuals out of what the slides claim — footage that dramatises the story, not your slides with an avatar reading them.
16:9 · 10s · 320 creditsA talking scene that lip-syncs
Put the line in braces and Wan 3.0 speaks it rather than narrating it. Everything outside the braces — who says it, how, and what happens next — stays description.
16:9 · 15s · 480 creditsKeeping one character across shots
Load the character reference once and cite it by number. The same face, hair and outfit survive a change of shot size and a change of light inside one take.
16:9 · 8s in, 8s out · 512 creditsFixing a shot you already have
Upload the footage and describe the change. Wan 3.0 rewrites it rather than regenerating, so the blocking and the timing you liked stay where they were.
16:9 · 12s · 96 credits at 480PB-roll from a single photo
One still becomes twelve seconds of movement. Cheapest thing Wan 3.0 does, and the fastest to iterate on.
Where Wan 3.0 is the wrong tool: hard-locked on-screen text that has to match a legal document word for word, anything longer than thirty seconds in a single pass, and 4K delivery, which it does not support. For those, generate here and finish in an editor.
Wan 3.0 specs, checked against Alibaba's own docs
Every row links to the page it came from and carries the date we last checked it. When Alibaba changes something, this table changes — and if you find a row that is out of date, tell us and we will fix it the same day.
Source= links to the primary page
WAN 3.0 · 16:9 · 720P · 15SNo, Wan 3.0 does not output 4K
Some sites advertise a 4K version. Alibaba's API reference lists three resolution tiers and 1080P is the top one. If a service hands you 4K here, that is an upscaler running after the model, not Wan 3.0 producing those pixels. We would rather lose the click than repeat a number we cannot source.
Checked by Hao Lin against the pages linked above on 25 August 2026. If a row has gone stale, tell us — this date moves when the table does.
Wan 3.0 against the models people cross-shop it with
Published numbers only. Where a spec is not on a first-party page we leave the row out rather than fill it with a hedge — a comparison table is the easiest place on the internet to get caught guessing.

And against Wan 2.7, which is what most sites are still running
Alibaba's own model table puts Wan 2.7 at 2–15 seconds, 720P and 1080P, 30 fps. Wan 3.0 doubles the ceiling to thirty seconds — but the change you will feel every day is the tier it added underneath: Wan 2.7 has nothing below 720P, and Wan 3.0 has 480P. That is where you iterate before you spend, and it is why a draft here costs a quarter of a final. The full version-to-version comparison goes through what else moved.
The honest read: pick MiniMax H3 when you need to run the weights on your own hardware, and pick Wan 3.0 when the clip has to run long, carry its own sound, or start from a document you already wrote. The three we did not table — Veo 3.1, Seedance 2.5 and Kling — each have a full comparison of their own:

On the Artificial Analysis text-to-video arena, in the with-audio table, Wan 3.0 sits first with an Elo of 1,240 from 5,728 blind comparisons — snapshot 25 August 2026. Read that carefully before you quote it: second place is three points behind and the interval is ±9, so the leaderboard itself gives Wan 3.0 a range of 1–2 rather than a clean win.
What the table shows more clearly is price. At 720P, Wan 3.0 works out to roughly $6.00 per minute of finished video — level with the model ranked second and below the one ranked third.

What one Wan 3.0 video
actually costs
Move the slider and the number updates before you commit. Credits come off when the clip comes back, not when you press the button — a failed run costs nothing. Every plan runs the same model at all three resolutions.
5s · 720P
This clip: 80 credits
≈ $2.72 per finished 5-second 1080P clip on Pro · ≈ $0.68 at 480P
Failed runs cost 0. Drafting at 480P costs a quarter of 1080P.
A worked example, because per-second numbers are hard to feel: a 12-second clip at 720P is the length most people land on for a product cut. A 5-second 480P draft of the same shot costs a fraction of that, which is why the sensible loop is to iterate at 480P until the framing is right and spend the 720P run once. Batch mode charges per clip, so four variants cost four times one — there is no bulk discount and we are not going to pretend there is.
Wan 3.0 has no free tier of its own — Alibaba meters it from the first second, and anyone offering unmetered access to Wan 3.0 is either running a different model or absorbing a bill they cannot absorb for long. Your first clip here is free because we pay for it: one generation, once, 480P, up to three seconds, on the real `wan3.0-video`. An email, no card. It is a sample rather than an allowance. After that, plans start at $9.90 a month.
- Five seconds each; longer clips cost proportionally more
- Yearly pricing shown — monthly is double for the same credits
- Failed runs cost 0
Four published Wan 3.0 reviews, quoted — including the unflattering ones
One benchmark and three reviews, none of them ours and none of them Alibaba’s. Every quotation below is a link to the page it was published on, with the date we read it. Two of the four are corrections rather than praise, and both stay up.
Wan 3.0 tops the with-audio text-to-video board at Elo 1,240 — but on 5,728 comparisons, the fewest in the top five, and the board itself states its range as 1–2. Second place is three points behind, which is inside the error bar.
