Wan 3.0 on SceneMixer: three tiers, billed by the second

One setting, three steps

A step is picked in one place: the tier button in the episode editor’s top bar, or Settings → Model Preferences → Video Model. The setting governs what you render next — already-made segments stay as they are, and each version remembers the step it was rendered on. The list marks Wan 3.0 · 720P as Recommended — advice for finished segments, not a switch: you stay where you are until you pick another step.

Each step has its own page for the detail behind it: the entry step, the recommended middle, and the step above.

The price steps, side by side

Three steps on one price scale: every charge is per second of rendered picture.

The ladder below only moves the picture. The take ceiling does not move with it, and neither do the reference slots: up to ten images and five voice clips go into every generation, whichever step renders it.

What you can make with it

The episode above is Crimson Vow: this site carried it from the first draft of the script to the final composite on Wan 3.0 · 720P, and swapping in either of the other two steps re-renders the same storyboard — the tier is only a setting.

What the family suits: the take that must not be cut — a walk-and-talk, a slow push-in, an argument that plays out in one frame; a crowded shot that wants many sheets attached, since up to ten images and five voice clips go in per generation; and a whole episode blown through at the entry rate before the keepers are chosen.

A project is not one film but a whole series if you want it: episodes stack in order, each one a chain of its own segments, and the composite tools work episode by episode.

Draft on one step, finish on another

The pattern this family is built for: keep the drafts on Wan 3.0 · 480P while the storyboard is still moving, then regenerate only the segments you are keeping on Wan 3.0 · 720P or Wan 3.0 · 1080P. Both versions stay listed on the segment, the composite uses whichever one is active, and switching steps re-renders nothing — draft cheap, finish where it counts walks through it.

And a second step is not needed at all if the draft is already good: The Veil at Dawn went from pasted script to finished composite entirely on Wan 3.0 · 480P — every segment of it — which is the other way to settle the draft-then-finish question.

Voices do not move with the step: dialogue and ambient sound come out of every generation on every tier, fed by the same voice clips. The one pronunciation quirk documented for this family — the odd German or Ukrainian line sliding off — is fixed by shortening the line and regenerating, not by moving to another step.

How to start

A new project needs no detour through the model settings first: it renders on Wan 3.0 · 480P from the very first segment, at 10 credits a second, with the two higher steps one click away whenever a keeper wants them. Two costs do sit ahead of that first render: the script read is a paid analysis, priced by the script’s length, and the character, location and prop sheets draw on 15 free images per account before further sheets are billed. The storyboard for episode 1 of a first drama comes without a charge; video itself is billed by the delivered second.
