API README
Wan 3.0 Prime Image to Video
Start a clip from your own picture. image becomes the exact first frame; add end_image and the model interpolates the motion between the two. Clips run 2–30 seconds with native audio.
Prime is the faster Wan 3.0 tier: the same inputs and output quality as standard Wan 3.0, with significantly shorter end-to-end generation time and a higher per-second rate. Use standard Wan 3.0 for batch or background jobs where turnaround does not matter.
Fields
| Field | Type | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
prompt | string, required | — | Up to 5,000 characters. |
image | image URL, required | — | First frame. JPEG/PNG/BMP/WebP, 240–8000px per side, ≤20MB, no transparency. |
end_image | image URL | — | Last frame; needs image. |
duration | 2–30 or auto | 5 | auto lets the model pick the length. |
resolution | 480p / 720p / 1080p | 720p | Sets the per-second rate. |
aspect_ratio | adaptive / 21:9 / 16:9 / 4:3 / 1:1 / 3:4 / 9:16 | adaptive | adaptive follows the prompt and inputs. |
generate_audio | boolean | true | Native dialogue, music, and effects. Same price on or off. |
seed | integer 0–2147483647 | random | Fix it to compare prompt changes. |
Billing
You pay for output seconds only: $0.068 at 480p, $0.14 at 720p, $0.28 at 1080p. Input images, audio, and video are not metered. The frame images are free.
| Output | Billed | 480p | 720p | 1080p |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2s | 2s | $0.136 | $0.28 | $0.56 |
| 5s (default) | 5s | $0.34 | $0.70 | $1.40 |
| 10s | 10s | $0.68 | $1.40 | $2.80 |
| 30s | 30s | $2.04 | $4.20 | $8.40 |
With duration: "auto" the run is pre-authorized at 30 seconds, then settled on the length that was actually generated. Failed runs are not charged. Output files are copied to SandBase storage and the returned URL stays valid for 7 days; download anything you need to keep.
Prompting
- Describe what moves, not what is already visible: “she turns toward the lens as wind lifts her scarf”.
- With two frames, keep them compatible in framing and lighting, or describe the transition explicitly.
- Leave
aspect_ratioonadaptiveto keep the image's own proportions.
The subject slowly turns toward the camera as a breeze moves the fabric; subtle handheld push-in, natural daylight, no dialogue.
Limits
- Reference images, videos, and audio are not accepted here; use reference-to-video instead.
