Quick Start
How to Use Wan 3.0 — Generate Your First Video in 3 Steps
Follow the current wan30.net controls from prompt and supported references to preview and export.
02
Set Resolution, Duration, and Aspect Ratio
Pick 720p or 1080p resolution, set clip length (2–15 seconds), and choose your aspect ratio — 16:9 for landscape, 9:16 for mobile/vertical, 1:1 for square. Upload reference images, video clips, or audio files if your mode requires them.
03
Generate, Review, and Download
Submit the task and monitor its status in the generator. Processing time and available export options vary by workflow, settings, and service conditions.
Pro tip: Reference uploaded assets directly in your prompt by type and position — “Image 1”, “Video 1” — so Wan 3.0 knows exactly which asset maps to which element. Images and videos count separately, following your upload order.

Select T2V mode, write your prompt, then configure resolution, duration, and aspect ratio. The most direct mode — no images or files required. Describe your scene and Wan 3.0 produces a video with synchronized audio in a single pass.
Step 1 — Select "Text to Video" Mode Open the Wan 3.0 AI Video Generator and click the Text to Video tab. This is Wan 3.0's most direct mode. Step 2 — Write Your Prompt Type a description of your scene in the Prompt field: subject, environment, lighting, camera movement, and mood. Turn on Prompt Extend to let the model enrich your prompt automatically. Example prompt: "A cinematic aerial shot of a futuristic city at golden hour, warm amber tones, slow dolly forward, shallow depth of field, ultra-realistic" Step 3 — (Optional) Upload Audio Where the current workflow exposes an audio input, upload a file accepted by the generator. Audio behavior depends on the selected workflow. Step 4 — Set Parameters and Generate In the current wan30.net generator, choose Resolution (720p or 1080p), Duration (2–15 seconds), and an available Aspect Ratio. Click Generate Video, then use the preview or export options currently shown. Tip: Add a Negative Prompt to exclude unwanted elements — "blurry, watermark, distorted faces, low quality, flickering."

Prompt Guide
Write Wan 3.0 Prompts That Actually Work
Wan 3.0 responds best to specific, structured prompts. See the difference side-by-side — then apply the formula to your own generations.
Prompt Formula
[Visual Style] + [Subject Description] + [Action / Motion] + [Camera Movement] + [Lighting / Atmosphere]
Example
“Cinematic, photorealistic — a young woman in a red coat walks through a rain-soaked Tokyo street at night, slow dolly forward, neon reflections on wet pavement, shallow depth of field”
Weak Prompt
“A city at night.”
Strong Prompt
“A cinematic wide shot of Manhattan at 2 AM — yellow taxi headlights streak through rain, wet asphalt reflects neon signs, slow pan left, ambient street noise, atmospheric fog.”
Add camera direction, lighting conditions, and time of day to ground Wan 3.0's output.
Weak Prompt
“Make her move.”
Strong Prompt
“The woman in Image 1 slowly looks up from her book, tucks a strand of hair behind her ear, and smiles softly at the camera — gentle natural light, subtle depth of field shift.”
Describe specific, natural micro-movements — vague motion prompts produce generic results.
Weak Prompt
“A scene with Image 1.”
Strong Prompt
“Image 1 (the character) walks through a cobblestone street in Paris at dusk — medium tracking shot, warm golden light, soft bokeh background, cinematic grain.”
Establish shot type and camera behavior before describing the character's action.
Anchor Every Scene with a Shot Type
Start prompts with the shot type — wide shot, medium shot, close-up, aerial — before describing the subject. Wan 3.0 uses this as a framing anchor. 'Close-up of hands' is clearer than 'show hands.'
Call Out Uploaded Assets by Position
When using I2V or R2V, reference assets by number: 'Image 1 is the main character,' 'Video 1 sets the camera style.' Wan 3.0 maps assets in upload order, so position matters.
Use Motion Verbs, Not Vague Adjectives
'She walks' is vague. 'She strides confidently across the frame left to right, pausing to glance back over her shoulder' gives Wan 3.0 specific motion to animate. The more specific the action, the more accurate the result.
Lock in Light, Color, and Mood Early
Include lighting, color temperature, and mood in the first third of the prompt. 'Golden hour, warm amber tones, shallow depth of field' gives Wan 3.0 a consistent visual identity to apply across the full clip.
The fastest way to internalize these tips is hands-on practice. Open the Wan 3.0 generator and test each prompt pattern — Prompt Extend will enhance your input automatically.
