Verdict
Which one should you try?
Wan 3.0 lists 2–30 seconds and Seedance 2.5 lists 4–30 seconds, both at 480p, 720p, or 1080p with optional audio, text, animate image, and first/last frames. Seedance 2.5 accepts up to 30 reference images and adds 21:9; Wan 3.0 accepts up to ten and exposes seed and prompt enhancement. Choose Wan 3.0 for very short shots or a repeatable seed; choose Seedance 2.5 when a large reference set or an ultrawide frame matters. Wan 3.0 Prime is the accelerated Wan 3.0 SKU with the same envelope. Clip Studio does not publish a quality ranking between them.
