Wan 2.6 video model

Name: Wan
Version: 2.6
Variant: Video
Also Known As: Wan2.6
Creator: Alibaba

Wan 2.6 is the version of a mixed input video tool made by Alibaba, which was released in December 2025. It turns text, images, or audio into short, cinematic-style videos. This version aims for better visuals, smoother motion, and cleaner audio-video sync.

What it can do. It makes videos from text prompts. You can also animate images or use short clips to guide style and movement. It puts out 1080p videos at 24 frames per second.

Audio features. It syncs sound with the video in one go. It also lines up lips with voice, whether it’s recorded or AI-generated.

Story and control. The tool can handle camera pans, depth, and scene cuts more naturally. It supports multi-shot scenes, so angle and motion shifts look smoother. Motion between frames is more stable than older versions.

Input types. You can mix text, images, and sound to control how the video looks and feels.

Language support. It works with prompts in different languages, good for global users.

Custom options. You can change the aspect ratio, pacing, and format based on where the video’s going—like vertical for mobile or horizontal for desktop.

What’s better than 2.5.

  • Less jittery motion

  • Handles complex prompts better

  • Improved audio and lip sync

  • Can make longer clips (10-15 seconds or more)

  • More stable characters and scenes

Wan gets the essence of this prompt right almost every time. For some reason it sometimes wouldn't generate sound for it though. This gen is sound-driven. Generated on January 3, 2026

Make sure to add 'no dialogue' or specify what sounds should appear, the chatterbox is on by default Generated on December 18, 2025

Using my own 'role'. Reference video to video. Again, Spanish translation of prompt due to unwise censorship layer banning unknown innocent words. Background music sometimes doesn't get included, and if I add a second actor - a cat - that usually breaks the prompt, might be too complicated for that. But two actors work in principle Generated on December 18, 2025
Awesome presentation here with matching soundscape. Even added a 'GAME ON' text on its own initiative that fits well. Generated on December 18, 2025

Tweaked JSON worked, otherwise there was some confusion. Multi-character dialogue is correct, focus shift works. Man's expression a bit too hilarious)) Generated on December 17, 2025

Spawned a new guy into the scene this time. Generated on December 17, 2025

Rack focus in this cinematic t2v prompt is still solid. Generated on December 17, 2025

Seems like a chatty model, if you're not going to supply the lines, it'll say its own thing. This is 'Smart Multi-shot' (Inspiration Mode) on. Unfortunately seems like multi-shot and prompt enhance are baked together, so unchecking it removes both madeup text and camera cuts? Generated on December 16, 2025
Compare With Other Models
This is 'Smart Multi-shot' (Inspiration Mode) OFF. Model sticks to a single provided line, but also there's no multi-shot. Generated on December 16, 2025
Compare With Other Models
Ok so with 'Smart Multi-shot' OFF it still works form a prompt alone and 'No talking' instruction is followed - great! Not as dynamic a video as it could be & face/skin looks plastic. Generated on December 16, 2025
Compare With Other Models
This multishot worked almost perfectly. Had to translate to Spanish because Wan's loopy censorship layer is triggered by something in the English variant. Generated on December 16, 2025

The morphing is fine but werewolf is still not as realistic-looking as I'd hoped for. Generated on December 16, 2025
