How to Write a Great Wan 2.5 Prompt

Wan AI

Wan 2.5 works best with a single clear action and a short, concrete prompt.

Tip: duration + aspect ratio are set in the UI - your prompt controls subject, motion, camera, lighting, style, and optional sound. Prompt expansion helps short prompts.

Quick prompt (fast iteration)

Use 1–2 sentences when you want variations.

Quick = variations. Use for fast iteration.

Template (copy/paste)

[Subject] [action] in [scene], [camera move], [lighting/style], [optional sound cue].
Negative: [text, logos, extra people, blur]

Example

Handheld smartphone UGC clip of a woman unboxing a new skincare bottle at a kitchen table. She peels the seal, smiles, and turns the bottle toward camera. Soft window daylight, natural colors, subtle room tone + packaging crinkle.

Tips & Limitations

Wan 2.5 works best for short, sound-led beats — keep the visual brief simple and let timing come from the audio.

What works best

  • Treat it as a 5–10s “hero beat”: one subject, one clear action, one camera move.
  • If timing matters, use an Audio URL and describe what should land on key moments (1–2 cues max).
  • Keep dialogue short (one line). Ambience + one SFX cue is usually enough.
  • For Image→Video, start from a clean still and prompt motion + camera — don’t re-describe the whole scene.
  • Prompt expansion is great for short prompts; keep your input literal and structured so it expands in the right direction.

Common problems → fast fixes

  • Audio feels off → remember uploaded audio is trimmed to the first 5/10s; prompt to the segment you’re actually using.
  • Too much happening / messy motion → cut to one main action; remove extra beats; simplify the background.
  • Drift / ignores details → move subject + action + camera to the first line; keep constraints positive (“clean background”, “centered subject”).
  • Lip sync drifts → shorten the line and slow the delivery; avoid long monologues.
  • Prompt expansion changes nuance → disable expansion for literal control, or shorten the prompt and remove ambiguous adjectives.

Hard limits to keep in mind

  • Duration is 5s or 10s per render.
  • Audio URL: if audio is longer than the video, it’s truncated; if shorter, the remaining video is silent.
  • Prompts are short-form (max ~800 chars). Negative prompts are capped too — keep them minimal.
  • Safety checks can block borderline content — keep people/likeness and dialogue brand-safe.

FAQ – Wan 2.5 in MaxVideoAI

Does Wan 2.5 always generate audio?

Yes. If you don’t upload a track, Wan generates native audio. If you upload WAV/MP3, your track is trimmed/looped to 5 or 10 seconds and used as the main audio.

What resolutions and durations should I use?

480p/5s for fastest look-dev; 720p/5–10s for internal reviews and social; 1080p/10s for hero beats and client-ready shots.

Can Wan 2.5 handle vertical and square videos?

Yes. Choose 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1 before rendering; 9:16 is best for mobile-first placements.

Does Wan 2.5 support Image → Video?

Yes. Upload one still (portrait, product, concept art) and focus the prompt on motion, camera and audio.

How is Wan 2.5 priced versus other engines?

Per-second by resolution (0.05/0.10/0.15 $/s). It’s mid-tier: cheaper than premium long-form, more capable than ultra-budget silent engines.
