FAQ – Wan 2.5 in MaxVideoAI

Does Wan 2.5 always generate audio?

What resolutions and durations should I use?

480p/5s for fastest look-dev; 720p/5–10s for internal reviews and social; 1080p/10s for hero beats and client-ready shots.

Can Wan 2.5 handle vertical and square videos?

Yes. Choose 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1 before rendering; 9:16 is best for mobile-first placements.

Does Wan 2.5 support Image → Video?

Yes. Upload one still (portrait, product, concept art) and focus the prompt on motion, camera and audio.

How is Wan 2.5 priced versus other engines?

Per-second by resolution (0.05/0.10/0.15 $/s). It’s mid-tier: cheaper than premium long-form, more capable than ultra-budget silent engines.
