Extend forward 15 s: a tea-table negotiation

将视频1延长15s。角色A为梳背头、穿深灰色中式长衫、左手腕佩戴棕色佛珠手串的男人，角色B为穿深色中式长衫的男人。角色B缓缓放下茶碗，目光微沉，用指尖轻叩桌面两下，不紧不慢说"价钱好讲，但货要几时到埠，你要畀个准数我。"角色A笑容不减，端起盖碗刮了刮茶沫。角色A呷一口茶，将茶碗搁回茶托，身体前倾压低声音，佛珠随手势轻晃，语气笃定"最迟月底，码头嗰边我已经打点好晒，一船货齐齐整整运到你仓库门口。"说罢右手掌心朝下往桌面一按，目光直视角色B。角色B沉吟片刻，视线扫向窗外"萬安當"牌匾，竹帘被街上微风轻轻掀起。他转回头，嘴角浮起笑意，拿起盖碗朝角色A微微一举，"好，月底交货，我等你好消息。"两人相视而笑。保持民国商战片的沉稳调性，对话节奏从容，茶馆环境音低沉衬底。

Extend backward 15 s: an invitation in the ballroom

将视频1向前延长15s。角色A为穿黑色燕尾服、白色衬衫、黑色领结及米色马甲的深棕色短发男性，角色B为穿米色泡泡袖复古长裙、裙身带黑色蕾丝花边、佩戴深色水滴耳环的棕色盘发女性。舞厅内水晶吊灯光芒映照大理石地面，宾客们三两交谈持杯低语，一段悠扬的华尔兹弦乐前奏缓缓响起，人群的谈话声逐渐安静。角色B从舞厅一侧缓步走来，裙摆轻拂过大理石地面，目光环顾四周。角色A从人群中走出，穿过宾客径直来到角色B面前，微微欠身伸出右手，目光温柔注视着她。角色B垂眸浅笑，将右手轻轻搭上角色A的掌心，两人相视一笑，角色A引领角色B步入舞池中央，周围宾客自然后退让出空间，目光齐聚二人。角色A左手握住角色B右手举起，右手轻扶她的腰后，两人摆好华尔兹舞姿，随弦乐正拍踏出第一步，开始旋转。19世纪宫廷舞会的典雅氛围，暖金色调。

Extend both ways: a girl catches a snowflake

以视频为中间段向前续写两秒：镜头平滑跟随，女孩向镜头缓缓走来，停下脚步，温柔地微微抬头，在冷空气中深吸一口气，嘴唇微张；以视频为中间段向后续写三秒：女孩搓完手，直视镜头，绽放出温暖灿烂的笑容。她缓缓抬起一只戴着手套的手，去接一片轻轻飘落的雪花，镜头缓慢后拉成中远景，展现阳光雪林小路，黄金时刻逆光，镜头光晕，浅景深，温暖治愈氛围。

How to write great Wan 3.0 prompts

  1. 1Number your materials and address them by slot. Wan 3.0 reads references positionally: "figure 1", "video 1", "audio 1", with images, videos and audio counted separately. The handbook prompts do exactly this, for example "the girl in figure 1 wears the blouse from figure 2". Name the slot, never the file.
  2. 2Write a timeline for anything over 10 seconds. Nearly every 30-second case is written as segments: "0-4 s wide shot", "shot 2 (4-9 s) close-up". The model follows a timeline far better than a paragraph of adjectives, and saying "one continuous take" keeps it from cutting.
  3. 3Write the sound, Wan 3.0 generates it. Every clip carries a synced audio track. The handbook marks effects inline as <cloth rubbing the bar> and dialogue in {braces} or quotes; ambience, a BGM cue and a spoken line each land as written. A prompt with no sound gets generic audio.
  4. 4For edits, say what changes and what must not. Editing prompts open with "edit the video", name the element, and always close with a lock: "the woman's action and the rest of the frame stay unchanged". Without that lock the model re-imagines the whole frame.
  5. 5References carry identity, words carry the action. With a character card or portrait attached, the prompt repeats the traits that must not drift (hair, wardrobe, accessories) and spends the rest on blocking and camera. Two people need two references; two voices need two audio clips.
  6. 6Give an extension a script, not just a length. Extension prompts state the direction ("extend forward 15 s") and then write the new beats with the characters named from the existing footage, dialogue included. A bare "continue" produces filler.
  7. 7Frame mode and reference mode do not mix. On the API first_frame_url / last_frame_url and reference_* / file_url / link_url are mutually exclusive. A first-frame prompt describes motion out of that frame; a reference prompt talks to figure 1 and friends.
  8. 8State duration and aspect ratio up front. The handbook prompts open with "10 s, 16:9, 1920x1080" or "vertical 9:16, 15 s". Wan 3.0 takes 2-30 seconds and 480P / 720P / 1080P; put the numbers in the prompt and match them with the duration parameter.

Prompt formula

Duration + aspect ratio + reference slots (figure 1 / video 1 / audio 1) + timeline segments + subject with locked traits + camera move + light and palette + sound tags + what must stay unchanged

Example: 15 s, 16:9. Figure 1 is the only reference for the woman; keep her short black hair and beige trench. 0-5 s: wide shot, she pushes open a glass café door onto a cobbled street, <heels on stone>. 5-10 s: slow dolly in to a mid shot as she unfolds a paper map. 10-15 s: close-up, she looks up and says "It should be this way." Warm afternoon backlight, film grain, street ambience throughout.

Frequently asked questions

Where do these Wan 3.0 prompts come from?

All 64 prompts and clips come from the Wan 3.0 creator handbook that the Tongyi Wanxiang team published for the model launch, linked above. Every prompt is kept verbatim in its original Chinese, and the sample clips are re-hosted so they keep playing; nothing was regenerated. The reference images and documents some cases used were not published with the handbook, so those cards carry the prompt and the result only.

Where can I run Wan 3.0?

On apimodels.app as model wan-3.0-video, on the same unified video endpoint as VEO, Kling and Seedance: $0.045 per second at 480P, $0.09 at 720P, $0.18 at 1080P, billed only on success, with mode "prime" for the faster tier at roughly 50% more. Reference images, audio, documents and web pages cost nothing extra; a reference video adds its own duration to the billed seconds. No Alibaba Cloud account or mainland real-name verification is needed. The model is also available on Alibaba Cloud Model Studio and the Wan web app.

Do the prompts work in English?

Yes. Wan 3.0 accepts English and Chinese; what matters is the structure the handbook uses: numbered material slots, time segments, sound tags and an explicit "everything else stays unchanged" on edits. Translate the words and keep the skeleton. We leave the originals in Chinese because a translated prompt is not the prompt that produced the clip.

How do the editing and extension cases pass the input video?

Through reference_video_urls, with the prompt addressing it as "video 1". Edits keep the input length; extension prompts state the direction and the added seconds. Upstream caps input plus output at 30 seconds, and billing counts both.

Can I use these clips commercially?

The clips belong to their publisher and are shown here as examples of what each prompt produced. Anything you generate yourself is governed by Alibaba's terms for Wan. The prompt text you can copy, edit and reuse freely.
