How to Create Your First Wan 3.0 Video: Text, Image, or Video Input

Wan 3.0 is a browser-based AI video generator that turns text, a photo, or an existing clip into a video of up to 1080p and 30 seconds. To make your first clip, pick the starting mode that matches the material you already have, write a prompt that names the subject, style, lighting, mood, and composition, then set resolution, duration, and audio before you generate. Expect a credit cost somewhere in the 98–5880 range, since the price scales with length and resolution.

Pick your starting mode

The generator offers four entry points. Choose based on what you have on hand, not on which sounds most advanced.

If you are starting from nothing, text to video is the fastest path to a finished result. If you already have a strong image, image to video usually gives you more control over the opening frame, because the model starts from your composition rather than inventing one.

Write a prompt that actually guides the model

The prompt field accepts up to 2000 characters, and the site's own tip is to be detailed and specific. A useful prompt covers five things:

• Subject — who or what is on screen
• Style — realistic, animated, cinematic, and so on
• Lighting — soft daylight, neon, backlit, overcast
• Mood — calm, tense, playful
• Composition — wide shot, close-up, centered subject

For example, instead of "a dog running," try "a golden retriever sprinting across a wet beach at sunrise, low camera angle, warm backlight, energetic mood, shallow depth of field."

If your idea is thin, use the Expand option next to the prompt field. It fills out a short idea into a fuller description, which is useful when you know the vibe but not the wording.

Set resolution, duration, and audio

Before generating, you choose:

• Resolution — 480p, 720p, or 1080p
• Duration — anywhere from 2 to 30 seconds
• Audio — whether to generate sound with the video
• Thinking mode — an option available in the generator panel

Higher resolution and longer clips both push the credit cost up. The full range runs from 98 to 5880 credits, so a short 480p test costs far less than a 30-second 1080p render. The generate button shows the credit price for your current settings (the example on the page reads 455 credits), so you can check the number before committing.

A practical approach: render a short, low-resolution version first to confirm the motion and framing, then re-run at higher settings once you like the direction.

Check your credits before you generate

Because cost scales with length and resolution, the same prompt can be cheap or expensive depending on settings. The generator displays the credit total on the generate button, so read it before you click. If you are experimenting with prompt wording, keep duration short and resolution low until the content is right — then spend the credits on a final high-quality pass.

The site lists a pricing page, so credit costs and any current offers are worth checking there rather than assuming a fixed rate.

Review and iterate

After the clip renders, judge it against what you asked for. If the motion is wrong, adjust the action wording in the prompt. If the framing is off, change the composition terms or switch to image to video and supply a starting frame that already has the composition you want. If the style is wrong, name the style more explicitly.

Switching input mode is often faster than rewriting a prompt repeatedly. A still image locks in the look; a reference video locks in the motion. Use whichever constraint your problem actually is.
