Seedance 2.5 vs Wan 3.0 for Product video
Product video is broader than advertising: the main requirement is preserving the product while creating useful motion. Reference and endpoint-control features receive the most weight.

Run the same brief, not two different demos
Use one clean reference image with the subject large enough to inspect. Keep duration, aspect ratio and creative intent identical across models, then judge only the constraints that matter for product video.
- Use identical source media, wording, duration and aspect ratio.
- Keep the same number of attempts for both models.
- Change only syntax that is required by the target model; keep creative intent constant.
- Score each output against the workflow constraints, then compare retry-adjusted cost.
Success signals for product video
- Product identity and geometry stay stable from the opening frame through the final hold.
- Camera motion reveals the product without hiding the feature the shot is meant to sell.
- Background, hands and props do not introduce distracting shape or texture drift.

What this page is meant to answer
Use this page when the question is specifically how Seedance 2.5 and Wan 3.0 compare for product video, using the same workflow criteria instead of a broad feature checklist.
Scope boundary: This page is intentionally narrower than the general model-vs-model comparison and broader best-model shortlist.
