How do you use both together?
Draft on Wan 3.0 Prime: try the idea, the framing and the line of dialogue at 720p for 12 credits a go. When a shot needs to follow a camera move from a reference clip or go out in 4K, rebuild it on Seedance 2.5 with the prompt you already tested.
Saved characters work on both, so the same face can carry from your Wan drafts to your Seedance finals.
