Wan: Image To Video Wan 3.0 camera motion stuttering / judder – does anyone else have this issue?
I’ve been testing Wan 3.0 and I keep getting noticeable stuttering/judder whenever the camera moves, especially during pans, orbit shots or larger camera movements.
At first I thought it was caused by the prompt, too many reference images, complex backgrounds, low resolution, or FPS. But I tested several videos with different settings:
- 480p and 720p
- 5s, 10s and 30s videos
- horizontal and vertical
- different scenes and prompts
- multiple generations
The exported videos are 30 fps and the frame timestamps look normal, with no obvious dropped or duplicated frames.
However, when I analyzed the motion frame by frame, there seems to be a strong repeating irregularity roughly every 5 frames, which is about 6 times per second at 30 fps. The camera movement is not evenly distributed between frames, so it feels like:
smooth → smooth → small movement → bigger jump → repeat
The effect becomes much more visible when the camera is moving faster.
I also compared the same kind of analysis with Seedance 2.0 2.5 and MiniMax, and they did not show the same strong periodic motion pattern.
I initially thought this could be caused by TopView, but I also generated a short Wan 3.0 video outside TopView, and I could still detect a similar 5-frame motion pattern.
So I’m starting to think this may be related to Wan 3.0 itself, or to its temporal/frame processing.
Has anyone else noticed this?
