AI video engine tests
We test AI video engines on scenes built to trip them up, run every test several times, publish every clip and score it frame by frame. If an engine got three tries, you see all three.

Wan 3.0 review: every mode tested in 31 clips
Every Wan 3.0 mode in ClipRush: dialogue, reference images, first and last frame, image and text to video, 30-second takes. Strong when scripted; one of two 30-second takes cut halfway.

How we test
- Every run in a test gets the same image, the same prompt and the same settings.
- At least three runs per engine, because one lucky clip proves nothing.
- Every clip we render is published. Nothing is re-rolled or left out.
- A fixed scoring rubric, with a timestamp behind every point so you can check it.
- Cost and render time are measured, not copied from a spec sheet.
