Wan 3.0 Pro Reference is the reference-conditioned entry point to the Pro tier of Alibaba's third-generation Wan video family. Instead of starting from a prompt alone, you supply reference material — images, clips, audio, or even documents and webpages — and the prompt specifies how those reference assets are combined into a single shot. It sits alongside Wan 3.0 Pro text-to-video and Wan 3.0 Pro image-to-video, which share the same generation stack.

The generational jump from Wan 2.7 Reference is largely about scale and unification. Alibaba describes the Wan 3.0 series as an "All-in-One" model with comprehensive upgrades in audio-video generation, multimodal reference, and video editing, supporting up to 30 seconds per generation at 30fps, native dialogue, background music and sound effects, and up to 20 reference materials in a single request. One model name covers text-to-video, first-frame/last-frame image-to-video, and reference-based generation without switching endpoints.

Within Wan 3.0 there are tiers: the base Wan 3.0 Reference, this Pro variant, and the higher-capability Wan 3.0 Prime Reference and Wan 3.0 Prime Pro Reference lines. This model carries a catalog release date of September 8, 2026.

Access is through Alibaba Cloud Model Studio's hosted video generation API, which handles asynchronous task submission and result retrieval. Typical applications include multi-shot narrative clips, character-consistent series content, and turning existing assets into finished footage.
