Prompt checklist
What a video prompt carries, part by part. The check marks are simple tests of what you typed, not a promise of how the video turns out.
Subject and action first — In your prompt
The setting in one clause — Tip
Where and when: a street market on a wet evening. One place and one stretch of time; a new place is a new clip.
The light and where it comes from — Tip
One shot size and one camera move — Tip
The look, once — Tip
Behavior, not mood — Tip
What is heard — Tip
The length and the frame — Set by the settings
Set by the aspect ratio and length pills.
The length is the whole video’s: DreamBench plans the scenes, makes each one with Wan 3.0 and joins them. Create with Wan 3.0 opens Film Studio with your prompt and every setting in place.
Strengths
What Wan 3.0 is good at
- 01
30 seconds per generation
A clip can run up to 30 seconds, double Wan 2.7’s 15, so a camera move or a short conversation can play out without a cut.
- 02
Dialogue, music and effects
Speech, background music and sound effects come out of the same generation as the picture, with no dubbing afterward.
- 03
Faces that feel real
Alibaba built Wan 3.0 to render lifelike faces with natural micro-expressions, so characters can carry a scene with a look as well as a line.
- 04
Steady through longer shots
Alibaba designed Wan 3.0 to keep the picture from drifting or warping, a familiar problem in AI video, so it holds together as a long shot unfolds.

The model
What is Wan 3.0?
- Made by Alibaba Cloud
- Released August 2026
- Video model
- Clips up to 30 seconds
Wan 3.0 is a video model from Alibaba Cloud’s Wan family, released in August 2026 after a public beta that began on August 6. A clip from one generation can last up to 30 seconds, twice the 15-second limit of Wan 2.7, which leaves room for elaborate camera moves and shots that run without a cut.
It makes sound in the same pass as the picture: spoken dialogue, background music and sound effects, and you can write the lines and the sounds into your prompt. Alibaba says its faces look lifelike down to the micro-expressions, and its voices sound natural in more than one language.
Alibaba is open about the limits: audio texture and the accuracy of text shown on screen are still being refined.

Good to know
- On DreamBench, Wan 3.0 animates an opening frame for each clip. DreamBench makes that frame from your reference images, or from the characters, props and places it designs for you, and Wan 3.0 sets it in motion with sound.
- On DreamBench, a Wan 3.0 clip doesn’t cut to a new setting partway through. When your story moves somewhere new, the change comes at the start of the next clip, or the camera travels there on screen.
- Alibaba’s own platform also lets Wan 3.0 work from documents, web pages, video and audio, and extend or edit clips with instructions. On DreamBench, you guide each scene with your prompt and reference images, and change it by giving it new direction.

Down to the harbor
One continuous take in widescreen 16:9. At sunrise the camera glides down a steep lane of whitewashed houses in a fishing village, past a cat asleep on a doorstep and a woman shaking out a rug, then opens onto the harbor as the boats head out. Gulls, a distant church bell, footsteps on cobbles and water lapping at the hulls.
The letter
Classic 4:3 framing, a farmhouse kitchen at dusk. An older woman slides an unopened letter across the worn table to her younger sister: “It came for you.” Her sister opens it, presses a hand to her mouth, then laughs through tears: “She remembered.” The camera stays close on their faces. A ticking clock, rain against the window, a kettle starting to whistle.
A run before work
Vertical 9:16, filmed like a morning vlog. A runner in a red windbreaker jogs along a riverside path at dawn, her breath misting in the cold. She slows on a footbridge, turns to the camera and says, “Every morning before work. No excuses.” Then she grins and sets off again as the streetlights blink out behind her. Footsteps, birdsong, a passing tram and the hush of the river.

Wan 3.0 FAQ
What is Wan 3.0?
Wan 3.0 is a video model from Alibaba Cloud’s Wan family, released in August 2026 after a public beta that opened on August 6; Alibaba offers it on Alibaba Cloud Model Studio. Each generation can last up to 30 seconds, with dialogue, background music and sound effects made together with the picture. On DreamBench it is on every plan, with no Alibaba Cloud account or API key needed, in the browser on a phone, tablet or computer (Android, iPhone, Mac, Windows).
How long can a Wan 3.0 video be on DreamBench?
A Wan 3.0 clip runs up to 30 seconds in one generation, twice Wan 2.7’s 15. A DreamBench video can be longer, up to 30 seconds on Starter, 2 minutes on Plus and 5 minutes on Ultra and Studio, because DreamBench plans the scenes and joins the clips.
What resolution does Wan 3.0 use on DreamBench?
Wan 3.0 renders at 720p or 1080p on DreamBench, your choice. You can make it square (1:1), widescreen (16:9), portrait (9:16) or 4:3.
Does Wan 3.0 make sound and lip-sync dialogue?
Yes. Wan 3.0 generates dialogue, background music and sound effects in the same pass as the picture, and on DreamBench every Wan 3.0 clip comes with sound. Alibaba says its voices sound natural in more than one language, so write each line in quotation marks and name the language if it matters. Alibaba’s own platform can also sync lips to a voice recording you supply; on DreamBench the voice comes from the prompt. Alibaba notes that its audio texture is still being refined.
What is the difference between Wan 3.0 and Wan 2.7?
Wan 3.0 is the newer Alibaba model: one generation runs up to 30 seconds, where Wan 2.7 stops at 15, and every Wan 3.0 clip comes with dialogue, music and effects. Wan 2.7 adds music or sound effects you can keep or remove, and suits anime, manga and 3D styles.
Does Wan 3.0 cost anything to use?

What makes a good Wan 3.0 prompt?
Describe a single take: where the camera starts and travels, who is in frame and what they do, the setting and the light, then the sound. Write spoken lines in quotation marks and name any music or effects, because Wan 3.0 generates dialogue, music and effects from the prompt.
What are Wan 3.0’s limits?
Alibaba says the texture of its audio and the accuracy of text shown on screen are still being refined. Clips run to 30 seconds, every clip comes with sound, and on DreamBench it renders up to 1080p and doesn’t cut to a new setting mid-clip.
