What Wan 3.0 Prime is best for

Cheap drafts before the final cut

Test ideas at 480p for the fewest credits. When a prompt gives you the shot you want, run it again at 1080p for the version you post, so the bigger credit spend only goes on ideas that already work.

Longer clips, up to 30 seconds

Need more than a quick moment? Choose 30 seconds for a short scene, a video intro or a product walk-through. To plan the shots, reframe a still from new angles with cinematic angles.

Turning a photo into video

Start from a product shot, portrait or illustration. No photo yet? Make a clean starting image in the AI image generator, then let Wan 3.0 Prime add the motion.

Aspect ratios for every platform

Wan 3.0 Prime gives you 5 aspect ratios: 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3 or 3:4. Go vertical for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, widescreen for YouTube and websites, square for feed posts, and the in-between shapes for ads and product listings. If your photo is the wrong shape, extend it first with the AI image resizer.

Wan 3.0 Prime prompt tips

  • Start with the subject, the place and the action, then add camera movement and lighting once the basic shot looks right.
  • If you want the frame to stay still, write "static camera"; if you want movement, name it, such as "slow push-in" or "tracking shot from the side".
  • For longer clips, describe what happens in order (beginning, middle and end) so the action has room to unfold over 30 seconds.
  • For image to video, use a sharp, well-lit photo, and run a small or soft image through the AI image upscaler first.
Example prompt

“A cyclist rides along a coastal road at sunrise, the camera follows from the side, then rises to reveal the sea and the town below, warm golden light, gentle wind in the grass.”
