Wan 3.0

Wan 3.0 is an AI video model from Alibaba Cloud, available on SeaArt AI. It helps you turn an idea and the materials behind it into a short video. Start with a written prompt, or bring in images, video, audio, a document, or a public webpage when they give the model a clearer picture of what you want to create.

That makes Wan 3.0 useful for more than open-ended text-to-video. A product image can define the object on screen. A reference video can inform the movement. A project brief or public article can establish the topic. You then explain the story, action, mood, and format you want, and Wan 3.0 turns that direction into an AI-generated video.

Key Features of Wan 3.0

Start from the material you already have.

Wan 3.0 can bring text, images, video, audio, documents, and public webpages into one video workflow. Start with a visual reference, an existing brief, or a written concept instead of rebuilding the idea from an empty prompt.

Give a short story room to develop.

Wan 3.0 can create videos up to 30 seconds long and can choose a suitable length for the idea. That makes it useful when a scene needs a beginning, a visible change, and a clear ending rather than a single moving image.

Direct each reference with a purpose.

Use images to establish a character, product, or setting; video to inform movement; and audio to set the sound direction. Wan 3.0 can use these materials together, giving you a clearer way to direct what should remain important in the final scene.

Define a visual transition from start to finish.

First and last frame control lets you set the opening image and, when needed, the final image. It is useful for transformations, before-and-after stories, and scenes that need to arrive at a particular visual result.

Create more lifelike audiovisual worlds.

Wan 3.0 is designed for richer people, actions, environments, and sound. It can also support videos that include product interfaces, animation, or on-screen text, helping digital ideas feel more visual and alive.

Prepare videos for different destinations.

Choose a landscape, square, or vertical frame for the way your audience will watch, with output available up to 1080P. Audio is included by default and can be turned off when the project needs a silent video.

A broader workflow than Wan 2.7.

For creators who have used Wan 2.7, Wan 3.0 adds more ways to guide a video, including reference video, audio, documents, and public webpages. It is built for video ideas that need more context and a more complete creative brief.

How to Write a Great Wan 3.0 Prompt

A strong Wan 3.0 prompt should explain the video itself and the job of each reference. Start with one clear outcome. Then identify the main subject, describe what happens, and say what the supplied materials should contribute. This is more useful than adding many references without explaining why they are there.

Use this template:

Create a [duration] [aspect ratio] video for [goal]. The main subject is [subject and key appearance]. Use [Reference Image 1 / Reference Video 1 / document / webpage] to define [its role]. Show [one main action or progression] in [setting]. The visual direction is [lighting, mood, and style]. Output at [resolution] with [audio direction].

1. Text-to-video example

Create an 8-second 16:9 video for a quiet cafe social post. The main subject is a barista in a small neighborhood cafe at sunrise. Show the barista placing a fresh cup of coffee on a wooden counter as warm sunlight reaches the room. Soft, calm, realistic atmosphere with natural interior details. Output at 1080P with generated ambient audio.

2. Multiple-reference example

Create a 10-second 16:9 product story. Use Reference Image 1 to define the appearance of the travel bag. Use Reference Video 1 to guide the walking pace and outdoor movement. Show a traveler carrying the bag through a bright train station, then placing it beside a window seat. Clean, practical, optimistic visual style. Output at 1080P with light travel ambience.

3. Document or webpage example

Based on the supplied source material, create a 12-second 16:9 opening video for a presentation about urban rooftop gardens. Show unused rooftops gradually changing into green community spaces. The video should introduce the topic with a clear visual progression and an optimistic documentary tone. Output at 1080P with generated audio enabled.

For a defined transition, use first and last frame control instead of general reference media. State the change you want to see between the opening and final image, then keep the prompt focused on that transition.

Limitations

Wan 3.0 is built for ambitious short-form video, but a polished result still benefits from a realistic production workflow.

● Longer narratives work best as a series of connected clips. Plan the story in clear beats, use first and last frame control to create visual continuity between adjacent moments, then bring the strongest generations together in the final edit.

● Complex multi-character action, fast physical interactions, or several competing reference requirements may need more than one generation to reach a stable result.

● Clear references can guide a character or product across a scene, but highly specific identity and detail consistency may still require iteration.

● Audio-led scenes should be reviewed carefully when the timing between action, dialogue, and sound is important.

● Projects that require very high-resolution final masters may benefit from an additional finishing workflow after generation.

How to Get Started

1. Begin in SeaArt AI: Open Wan 3.0 in the AI video generator.

2. Choose How the Idea Begins: Start with a written prompt, add images, video, or audio references, set first and last frames, or use a document or public webpage as source material.

3. Give Every Source a Job: Explain what each material should establish, such as the character, product, setting, movement, sound, or topic of the video.

4. Shape the Creative Direction: Write the goal, main subject, action, visual mood, and output you want. Use the Wan 3.0 prompt template as a simple guide.

5. Set Up the Video: Choose the duration, framing, resolution, and audio option.

6. Create and Review: Generate the first version, then check whether the main subject, action, references, and overall mood are working together.

7. Refine the Story: Update the prompt or references for the next version. For a longer idea, build connected clips and use first and last frames to help carry the visual story forward.
