Wan 3.0 Image to Video

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_ratio on adaptive to 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.
