4A pipeline on current models
Release notes such as “Vidu” matter once a pipeline runs the models; SceneMixer's guides describe how it does:
SceneMixer turns a novel into a watchable short-drama series in one pipeline: upload the novel (Chinese or English) → AI extracts characters, scenes, and an episode-by-episode structure → generates consistent character and scene art → writes storyboard scripts → renders video segment by segment (16:9 by default, 9:16 in one setting) → composites full episodes.

Wan 3.0 is Alibaba Cloud's video generation model on the Model Studio platform, called through an asynchronous submit-then-poll API, in two tiers: the standard wan3.0-video and the faster wan3.0-video-prime.
