AI Video Generation with Wan 2.6
A versatile text-to-video and image-to-video model with built-in audio support and prompt expansion. Wan 2.6 delivers up to 1080p resolution with 15-second videos, making it a solid all-rounder for creative video generation.
What makes Wan 2.6 different
Up to 15 seconds in one generation
Wan 2.6 generates 5, 10, or full 15-second clips in a single pass — where its predecessor Wan 2.5 capped image-to-video at 10 seconds. Fifteen seconds is enough for a complete beat: a setup, an action, and a resolution, without stitching clips or fighting continuity drift between takes.
1080p output with native audio
Output lands at 720p or 1080p, and the model generates synchronized audio alongside the picture rather than leaving you to score footage afterwards. Reviewers consistently flag audio sync as one of the main areas Wan 2.6 improved over 2.5.
Prompt expansion built in
Short prompts don't produce short imaginations: Wan 2.6 automatically expands terse descriptions into richer internal prompts before generating. You can write two sentences and still get a fully art-directed scene — useful when you're iterating fast and don't want to hand-craft a paragraph per take.
A dependable all-rounder at a mid-range price
At $0.10-$0.15 per second, Wan 2.6 sits in the value middle of the video model lineup — cheaper than premium models, more capable than budget tiers, with five aspect ratios and first-frame image-to-video in the same node. It's a strong default when you don't yet know which model a project needs.

What is Wan 2.6?+
Wan 2.6 is the latest generation of the Wan video model family — a versatile text-to-video and image-to-video model producing clips up to 15 seconds at 720p or 1080p, with built-in audio support and automatic prompt expansion. On Scenetra it runs as a node in the visual workflow editor.
How much does Wan 2.6 cost?+
On Scenetra, Wan 2.6 costs $0.10 per second at 720p and $0.15 per second at 1080p. Real charged examples: $0.75 for a 5-second 1080p clip, $1.50 for 10 seconds at 1080p. You pay per generation from your credit balance.
Is the Wan AI video generator free?+
Wan 2.6 is a paid model, but you can try it free: new Scenetra accounts come with free welcome credits and a 7-day trial that covers your first generations. After that it's pay-per-generation — there's no subscription tier gating the model and nothing to cancel.
What's new in Wan 2.6 vs Wan 2.5?+
The headline changes are longer durations (5, 10, or 15 seconds, where 2.5 capped image-to-video at 10), noticeably more stable character identity across a clip, and improved audio sync. Reviewers describe 2.5 as capable but fragile, and 2.6 as the version that holds together over longer takes.
Can Wan 2.6 do image to video?+
Yes — attach a first-frame image to the node and Wan 2.6 animates from that exact starting composition, guided by your prompt. On a Scenetra board you can wire any image model's output directly into the Wan 2.6 node.
Does Wan 2.6 generate audio?+
Yes — Wan 2.6 has built-in audio support, generating sound synchronized with the picture rather than requiring a separate scoring step. Improved audio sync is one of the most cited upgrades over Wan 2.5.
Is Wan 2.6 better than Kling or Veo?+
It's competitive rather than dominant: Wan 2.6's strengths are value pricing, 15-second durations, and solid identity stability, while Kling and Veo each lead in other areas like control or raw fidelity. On Scenetra all of them are available side by side on one board, so the honest answer is to run your own prompt through each and compare.
