Wan AI video generator

Wan is Alibaba's video model family. Wan 3.0 runs up to 30 seconds in a single generation, with dialogue and sound made alongside the picture, so a tutorial, a review or a walking vlog can play out start to finish without cuts. Write a scene below and it opens in Video Studio on Wan 3.0.

What Wan is known for

Up to 30 seconds in one pass

Wan 3.0 doubled the longest clip of the versions before it. A recipe, a review or a coaching cue can run as one continuous take.

Sound with the picture

Dialogue, ambience and effects are generated together, at no extra cost. Every scripted line in our gallery was spoken as written.

Beats you can time

Write the scene as timecoded beats (0–7 s, 7–14 s…) and Wan follows the order. Our pasta clip hits all three beats in 20 seconds.

Exact length, any second

Pick any length from 2 to 30 seconds and pay for that, instead of rounding up to a fixed 5 or 10.

Where it's weaker

  • Long clips are where small errors build up: check faces and hands near the end of a 20–30 second take.
  • A spoken line can stutter or repeat: our headphone reviewer says "is unreal" twice.
  • Wan rewrites short prompts to add detail; put every must-keep detail in the prompt yourself.
  • Text and numbers on screen need checking frame by frame.
  • Wan 3.0 is not open source; the last open-weights Wan is 2.2.

Open with Alibaba Wan 2.7

Wan 2.2, the last open-weights Wan, is also in the studio's model menu at a low flat price. Credits are read from the live catalog; the Standard plan ($24/month) includes 2,000 credits, about 21 five-second Alibaba Wan 3.0 clips.

Prompting Wan well

  1. Always write a sound line (voices, ambience, "no music"); otherwise Wan picks a soundtrack for you.
  2. For long clips, write timecoded beats and keep each beat to one action.
  3. Be concrete: "tosses the pasta with butter and lemon zest" beats "cinematic cooking shot".
  4. Keep spoken lines short and in quotes, one per beat.
  5. Match the clip length to what happens in it: a 30-second clip with one action drifts.
  6. Draft at 480p or 720p, then re-run the keeper at 1080p.

From prompt to clip

  1. Describe the scene or add a photo

    Write the scene in the box at the top of this page, or start from an example. Add a photo to use it as the first frame.

  2. Sign in and land in Video Studio

    Your prompt, photo, format and the Wan version you picked carry over. Nothing runs until you press Generate.

  3. Pick the length, then generate

    Any length from 2 to 30 seconds. The credit price shows under the Generate button before anything is spent.

  4. Check the end of long takes

    Watch the last seconds of a long clip closely; re-run with a shorter length if faces or hands drift.

Questions about Wan

What is Wan 3.0 best at?

Long single takes with sound: tutorials, reviews, vlogs and short scenes that play out for up to 30 seconds without cuts.

Is Wan open source?

Wan 2.2 is, under Apache 2.0. Wan 2.5 and later, including Wan 3.0, are only available through APIs like the one Affogato uses.

What is the difference between Wan 3.0 and Wan 3.0 Prime?

Prime runs the same model with the same options, faster, and costs more per second. Use it when turnaround matters.

Does Wan generate sound?

Yes. Wan 3.0 generates dialogue, effects and ambience with the picture, on by default.

Is Wan free on Affogato?

No. Every run costs credits, priced by the second and shown before you generate. Credits come with a monthly plan and unused credits roll over up to the plan's cap.

Can I use Wan videos commercially?

Yes. Paid Affogato plans include a commercial license and no watermark, within our terms of service.
