Product turntable 1:1: Wan 3.0 draft at 480p, final at 1080p

Draft the motion at 480p and spend the 1080p price once. On wan-3.0, an 8-second clip costs $0.50 at 480p, $1.00 at 720p and $2.00 at 1080p. Five 480p drafts and one 1080p final come to $4.50 against $12.00 for six 1080p tries. Source: Video generation, read 2026-10-06.

Wan 3.0 lists 1:1, so the square crop is native. Keep the prompt and the first-frame photo identical between draft and final; the motion will not match frame for frame, but the staging and look do.

What does each rung cost?

Eight seconds, 1:1.

What does the request look like?

Only resolution changes between draft and final.
