Wan 3.0
Alibaba's Wan 3.0: native audio, up to 30 seconds at 1080p, steered by images, clips, audio, a web link or a document.
What is Wan 3.0?
Wan 3.0 is Alibaba's current video model, released in August 2026 after a public beta.
A single model takes text together with images, video clips, audio, a web link or a document as references, and generates sound in the same pass as the picture. On Flashloop it renders any length from 2 to 30 seconds at 480p, 720p or 1080p.
The reference system is what changes the workflow. You can hand it up to 10 images, 5 video clips and 5 audio clips, or point it at a web page or a document such as a PDF or slide deck, and it uses them to shape the scene. Prompts can run to 20,000 characters, so a full scene with dialogue and sound direction fits without trimming. Alibaba itself notes that audio texture and on-screen text are still improving.
Thirty seconds in one continuous take is double what the previous Wan generation allowed, which suits single-shot product videos and short stories that would otherwise need stitching. Pricing is per second, so testing at 480p and re-rendering the keeper at 1080p is the sensible way to work. Wan 3.0 is closed and available only through APIs; the open Wan releases are the older 2.1 and 2.2.

Prompts to try with Wan 3.0
“One continuous shot: the camera drifts from a rain-soaked street toward a neon ramen stall, settles behind the counter as the cook ladles broth, then pulls back as a customer takes the first sip and says "Worth the wait." Rain on the awning, sizzling pans, distant traffic. 20 seconds, 16:9, 1080p.”
Where Wan 3.0 fits best
Product videos from a web page
Attach the product page as a link and describe the shot, and Wan 3.0 uses the page as a reference for the scene.
Explainers from a document
Upload a PDF or slide deck and turn its main point into a narrated clip with matching visuals.
Long single-take scenes
Up to 30 seconds in one continuous shot, long enough for a full walkthrough or a small story without cuts.
Scenes built from your own assets
Combine a character image, a reference clip for the camera move and an audio file for the mood in one generation.
Cheap drafts, clean finals
Iterate at 480p, where a second of video costs about a quarter of 1080p, and render only the final at full resolution.

Good to know before you generate
- References and start or end frames cannot be combined, so pick one way to anchor the shot
- Reference video and audio clips are capped at 15 seconds in total
- A web link and a document cannot go in the same generation
- 1080p costs about four times as much per second as 480p, so drafting at 1080p adds up
- Alibaba notes that audio texture and on-screen text are still improving
