Text-to-Video (T2V) - Cinematic Videos from Natural Language

Wan 2.6 T2V generates cinematic videos directly from natural language prompts. Unlike basic text-to-video models, Wan 2.6 understands multi-shot prompts and storyboard-style descriptions, translating shot order, camera direction, pacing, and mood into a coherent video sequence rather than a single isolated clip. Perfect for scripts, briefs, and structured scene descriptions.

Image-to-Video (I2V) - Animate Any Image with Identity Preservation

Wan 2.6 I2V animates a single image into motion while preserving subject identity and visual style. The model maintains facial features, proportions, textures, and overall composition, making it ideal for portraits, product images, illustrations, and any static visual that needs to be extended into short-form video content.

Reference-to-Video (R2V) - Character Consistency Across Scenes

Wan 2.6 R2V allows you to use an uploaded reference video to guide the generation of new scenes. The model extracts key visual characteristics—appearance, style, motion patterns, and voice—from the reference and applies them consistently to newly generated videos, enabling character continuity across shots and related content.

Multi-Shot Storytelling with Cinematic Precision

Wan 2.6 introduces a re-engineered storytelling engine that generates multi-shot, 1080p videos with smooth transitions, balanced pacing, and natural camera movement. It understands storyboard-style prompts and scene descriptions, allowing you to create connected visual narratives from text or image inputs—ideal for cinematic storytelling and short-form creative production.
