Input

Prompt

"Beneath the Walls of Troy" - an epic action short. @Image1 is a Greek hero in golden armour and a crimson cloak with a long spear and a lion shield; @Image2 is a Trojan champion in black armour and a blue cloak with a curved sword and a horse shield; the setting follows the walls of Troy and the sunset battlefield of @Image3. Keep each warrior's armour, helmet, cloak colour and shield emblem exactly as in their own reference - never swap them.
Opening: wind drives the sand as the two face off twenty paces apart, sharp eyes behind their helmets.
Middle: they charge at once; the spear strikes the horse shield in a burst of sparks; rapid slashes and blocks up close as the camera orbits them 360 degrees.
Climax: the setting sun sits right between them as they clash mid-air in extreme slow motion, sparks, sand and the crimson cloak hanging in the air.
Ending: both lower their weapons and salute each other.
Cinematic action-commercial look, 24fps film grain, fluid and weighty fighting; war drums, clashing metal and an epic score with the big hits on the beat. No blood or wounds, no extra characters, no on-screen text or watermarks, no deformed weapons or limbs.

Reference image role

Reference images0 / 10

Click to upload or drag files here jpg / png / webp / gif, up to 16 MB each or paste links

With multiple references, address them in the prompt as @Image1 / @Image2, e.g. "the character from @Image1 stands in the scene from @Image2". Without tokens the model decides on its own.

Reference videos0 / 5

Click to upload or drag files here mp4 / mov, up to 50 MB and 30 s each or paste links

Can be combined with reference images: photos set the look, the video sets motion and camera. Address it as @Video1 in the prompt.

Reference audio0 / 5

Click to upload or drag files here mp3 / wav / m4a, up to 15 MB and 30 s each or paste links

Needs a reference image or video as well. Address it as @Audio1 in the prompt.

Uploaded references are kept for 7 days.

Rendering usually takes 5-20 min; when the backend is busy it can exceed 60 min (we wait up to 90). Poll the job id rather than resubmitting - each resubmission is billed separately. Billed per second, fully refunded on failure. Prompt limit 5000 bytes (about 1666 Chinese characters).

About Wan 3.0

Wan 3.0 (Tongyi Wanxiang) is Alibaba’s all-in-one video model and the most versatile video line here: one endpoint covers text-to-video, first-frame, first+last frame, multi-image reference and video editing, chosen by parameters rather than by switching models. Any integer 2-30 seconds, 480P / 720P / 1080P, aspect ratios 16:9 / 9:16 / 1:1 / 4:3 / 3:4, up to 10 reference images, 5 reference videos and 5 reference audio tracks, and every clip ships with an audio track. Async: POST /v1/videos/generations returns HTTP 202 and a job id immediately; poll GET /v1/videos/jobs/{id} until status=succeeded and read data[0].url — an mp4 re-hosted by us and kept for 15 days (the upstream link lasts only 24 hours), so download it before then.

Use cases

Five modes, one endpoint

Text-to-video, first frame, first+last frame, multi-image reference and video editing, all chosen by parameters.

Long takes

Up to 30 seconds for single-shot narrative pieces.

Multi-asset composition

Ten reference images plus reference video and audio — feed character, scene and rhythm together.

Video editing

Hand it a reference video and one sentence to restyle the footage or change the camera move.

How to choose

Pick it for clips beyond 15 seconds, for feeding many images plus video and audio at once, or for native 1080P; take Prime when you are in a hurry. For a few seconds with no multi-asset reference, the Seedance line is fine too.

FAQ

How do I switch between the five modes?

With parameters only: send nothing and it is text-to-video; one image defaults to the first frame; two images with image_role=first_frame gives first+last frame; more than two default to multi-image reference; adding video_references makes it a video edit. Combining images and a video needs image_role=reference.

Do multiple reference images bleed into each other?

Yes. With four references the model treated every person visible in ANY of them as a candidate subject — the clip started on the intended character and later cut to a second person who only appeared in a scene reference. Keep scene references free of other people, or name the subject with @Image1 in the prompt.

How is it billed, and do references cost extra?

Per second: cost = (output duration + the duration of each reference video) x the rate for that resolution. Reference images and audio are free. The hold at submit uses that number and the settle uses the same one, so they are always equal; a failed or timed-out render refunds it in full. Because reference video seconds are billed, their duration must be stated explicitly.

What is the difference between Standard and Prime?

Speed and price only — the capabilities are identical, line for line. The same 2-second clip took about 2m45s on Standard and about 37s on Prime, and Prime costs roughly a third more per second. If you are not in a hurry, use Standard.

How long does a render take?

A 2-second clip is about 2-3 minutes on Standard; a 5-second clip with four reference images measured about 11 minutes. Prime is markedly faster. Poll the job id rather than waiting synchronously, every 10-15 seconds.
