About Wan 3.0

Wan 3.0 is Alibaba’s video generation model for scenes that need time to unfold. Start from a written idea, animate an opening image, or bring visual and audio references into a new scene. A continuous camera move, a character’s changing expression or a carefully timed reveal can develop within one generation of up to 30 seconds.

Reference material gives your direction a visual starting point. Use images to establish a character, object or setting, and video to guide movement or camera rhythm. For an approved opening and ending composition, use first- and last-frame control in Canvas. Describe what should happen between the frames rather than repeating everything already visible.

Arcloop connects the standard Wan 3.0 model. Choose 2–30 seconds, 480p / 720p / 1080p and a landscape, portrait or square format in Canvas. Generated audio is optional. Start with the composer on this page, then continue in Canvas for reference roles, output settings and the current credit estimate.

Tips for Wan 3.0

Practical guidance adapted from Alibaba’s Wan 3.0 prompt guide and the controls available in Arcloop.

  1. 01

    Write the action in order

    For one shot, name the main action and the camera move. For several beats, give each a time range that fits the selected duration.

  2. 02

    Give references a purpose

    Say which image defines the character or location and which video guides motion. Keep first/last-frame control separate from general references.

  3. 03

    Specify dialogue and sound

    Name the speaker, put spoken words in quotation marks, then describe ambience, effects and music. Keep dialogue short enough for the clip.

  4. 04

    Keep constraints selective

    Add only the exclusions you need, such as no subtitles or no background music. Put them in the prompt and avoid repeating or conflicting instructions.
