Magnific adds Wan 3.0 for 30-second moving-camera shots

Magnific says Wan 3.0 can sustain a moving-camera shot for 30 seconds without a cut. The service also demonstrates multi-shot dialogue sequences generated from a single prompt.

TL;DR

  • Magnific has added Wan 3.0, with 2-to-30-second generations, native audio, 1080p output, and up to 20 reference assets advertised in the launch post.
  • A 30-second kitchen take keeps a handheld camera moving through a busy set without a cut, according to the kitchen demo.
  • A single prompt can lay out timed shots, dialogue, delivery, and sound design, as the coastal-road sequence demonstrates.
  • Magnific's own tests put the continuity work in pre-production, using character sheets and reusable empty locations in the short-film workflow.
  • The launch campaign advertised up to 40% off through September 30 in Magnific's offer post, while one reply said P+ and Pro users had unlimited 480p access in a user reply.

Magnific's Wan 3.0 page specifies 10 image, five video, and five audio references in a call. The full kitchen prompt even places a Spanish line at roughly the 14-second mark; the short-film team generated an empty kitchen once, then reused it as a location reference across three timelines.

Thirty seconds of camera movement

Magnific's Wan 3.0 product page frames the model around scenes rather than fragments: choose a duration from two to 30 seconds, then generate picture and sound together. The interesting part is that the prompt can now carry blocking for an entire moving take.

The posted kitchen prompt from Magnific breaks that take into directing instructions:

  • Start on a ticket printer, then follow the hand taking its slip.
  • Travel down the pass past a saucier, grill cook, and commis.
  • Include a one-handed catch when a plate slides too far.
  • Pass the dish pit and a walk-in door before ending on the chef facing camera.
  • Place one Andalusian Spanish line at about 14 seconds, then layer extractor fans, oil, metal, printer, and plates without music.

A follow-up availability post from Magnific tied the demo to the Magnific release. The platform's pricing page lists Wan 3.0 at 480 credits per two seconds in 1080p, with a 800-credit-per-two-second Prime option.

Shot lists and dialogue on the clock

Wan 3.0 also handles a cut sequence as one timed brief. The coastal-road example assigns a back-seat two-shot to seconds zero through eight, then reverses to the older man for seconds eight through 15.

The corresponding prompt shared by Magnific specifies each character's vocal delivery, exact dialogue timing, a silent tail, and an audio bed of engine, gulls, wind, and cooling metal. An availability post from Magnific accompanied that sequence.

The multilingual claim in Magnific's example extends that format across cuts, with native sound and lip sync. The official page says the model accepts image, clip, and audio references in the same request, rather than routing those inputs to separate modes.

Character sheets and clean plates

Magnific's short-film test spans a mother, her son, and 15 years. Before generating a shot, its team says it locked three characters, including David and Susana at three ages, into character sheets in the production thread.

The smaller gardener demo gives the same workflow in one line: a single character sheet. Its prompt from Magnific explicitly asks the model to take the robot's face, build, and materials from the reference rather than infer them afresh.

Locations got the same treatment. The team says it made the kitchen empty, generated it once, and fed that plate back for every scene set there across three timelines in the location breakdown. The thread points to Magnific's full Wan 3.0 breakdown for the wider setup.

A separate opening-night demo from Magnific claims one face held across 22 years, three ages, and 13 scenes; its follow-up links directly to the tool.

Imperfect animals

The long-take demos are controlled examples, not a guarantee against identity errors. In a 30-second beach test, GlennHasABeard reported corgis morphing together and described the result as good for the price rather than perfect in the corgi test.

Access routes

Wan 3.0 is available in Magnific, where a Magnific availability post announced the model alongside the character test. Magnific's launch material has also linked the same release through its kitchen and multi-shot posts in the kitchen thread and in the dialogue thread.

The access footprint is wider than Magnific. An awesome_visuals post about the launch says Wan 3.0 was live through Pollo AI, while Pika's API Club announcement offers 30-second generations with 20 references through its API service. The Pika developer documentation describes a catalog-based API with model-specific input schemas and pricing.

At Magnific, the September 30 promotion was up to 40% off in the offer details. The 480p unlimited claim for P+ and Pro came from cuenca in a reply, not the pricing table.
