Motion study
“A glassblower turns molten glass at the furnace mouth, heat shimmer rising, the camera arcing slowly from the flame to their focused face.”
WAN 3.0 prompts that actually ran
Every prompt below was generated with WAN 3.0 in Made, and the output next to it is what came back — not a curated stock image. Copy a prompt as a starting point, then use the guide underneath to adapt it.
Original results
WAN 3.0 prompts and their outputs
These examples use media produced for Made. Prompts are included when the production record allows them.
Image-to-video
“Animate the scene: the glass glows and turns, sparks drift, furnace roar fills the room, the camera holds a slow arc.”
Creative scene
“Hot air balloons lift off over terraced fields at dawn, burners firing in turn, a slow aerial drift among the envelopes as mist burns off below.”
Start-frame control
“Use this image as the opening composition.”
Scene brief
“Set the scene as a still before describing its motion.”
Composition brief
“Plan the shot as a still, then hand the motion to the model.”
How to write a WAN 3.0 prompt
- 1
Choose text or image input
Write a prompt on its own, or add a start image — and optionally an end frame — to anchor the clip.
- 2
Use the long-take ceiling
Durations run from 2 to 30 seconds; describe how the shot evolves over longer takes.
- 3
Set the format
Pick a fixed aspect ratio, or adaptive to follow the input image’s shape.
- 4
Review and refine
Check motion stability across the take, then adjust one instruction at a time.
What WAN 3.0 responds well to
Prompt for these jobs
- Long takes — up to 30 seconds in one pass
- 1080p output at half the Prime tier’s rate
- Start-to-end frame transitions
- An adaptive aspect ratio that follows the input image
Check the output for
- Fidelity and motion stability sit below WAN 3.0 Prime — use Prime for hero shots.
- Made bills the provider’s 1080p default tier; there is no exposed resolution knob.
Iteration is cheap here: WAN 3.0 costs $0.20 / second at the provider's wholesale rate, so rewriting a prompt and rerunning it is a normal part of the workflow, not a budget decision. See the full WAN 3.0 pricing breakdown.
It is the standard tier of Alibaba’s WAN 3.0 video line — the same 30-second ceiling as WAN 3.0 Prime at half the per-second rate.
More tested prompts across all models live in the prompt library, and the full WAN 3.0 capability rundown is on the model page.
