Wan2.2 Animate vs VACE vs Hailuo 2.3: Six Motion Tests

Wan2.2 Animate vs VACE vs Hailuo 2.3: Six Motion Tests

Three motion-first video models were tested across six prompts to compare motion fidelity, temporal stability, and visual consistency. Each prompt shows Wan2.2 Animate, VACE, and Hailuo 2.3 outputs side-by-side (WP-hosted videos and posters).

Prompts (same for all models)

1. Drone over city skyline at golden hour; slow 6s pan; 16:9; 720p.
2. Handheld street scene with a dancer under neon lights; dynamic motion and motion blur.
3. Stable tracking shot of a cyclist by the river; daytime natural light.
4. Pedestrian bridge with people walking; light breeze and realistic crowd motion.
5. Macro motion: dew on a leaf with an insect moving; close-up detail.
6. Wide mountain trail establishing shot with distant peaks and slow dolly out.

Prompt 1 — Drone over city skyline (P1)

Prompt 2 — Handheld street dancer (P2)

Prompt 3 — Cyclist tracking (P3)

Prompt 4 — Pedestrian bridge (P4)

Prompt 5 — Macro motion (P5)

Prompt 6 — Mountain trail (P6)

Notes

All videos and poster images use WP-hosted source URLs. If you want a different arrangement (inline players, side-by-side thumbnails, or GIF previews), say which layout to apply and the draft will be updated.
