Wan AI model

Wan 2.6

Structured 5–15s clips in 720p/1080p — stronger subject consistency with 1–3 reference videos.

Ideal for storyboards, mini-trailers, and product motion where clean transitions matter.

Why Wan 2.6 is powerful

  • Three modes, one workflow (Pick text, image, or reference video depending on how much control you need.)
  • Timestamped shot lists (Beat-by-beat prompts steer pacing and transitions with less drift.)
  • Reference anchoring (Tag @Video1/@Video2/@Video3 to keep the same subject across variants.)
  • Optional sound bed input (Add a background track for text/image runs; keep reference runs focused on visuals.)

Reference-driven consistencyDetails

Supports text, image, and reference-video workflows for stronger subject continuity. Built for multi-shot sequences.

  • Use reference video to anchor a character.
  • Keep wardrobe and lighting constant.
  • Specify transitions between beats.
  • Great for storyboards and mini-trailers.
Timestamped controlDetails

Shot lists with timestamps steer pacing and transitions. Clear beat markers work better than adjectives.

  • Number beats in order.
  • Call out cuts or match-moves.
  • Limit each beat to one main action.
  • Add an optional sound bed when needed.

How to Write a Great Wan 2.6 Prompt

Wan AI

Wan 2.6 follows short prompts with clear subject, scene, and motion; use a simple shot list for multi-shot.

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

Quick prompt (fast iteration)

Use 1–2 sentences when you want variations.

Quick = variations. Use for fast iteration.

Template (copy/paste)

[Subject] [motion] in [scene], [camera], [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.

Audio on10s

Wide 16:9 full-body unboxing video in a clean studio/kitchen setting. A person is fully visible (head-to-toe or at least head-to-knees) standing behind a minimalist tabletop. They unbox a small generic gadget from a plain matte cardboard box: peel the seal, open the lid, remove the inner tray, take out the device and accessories, and lay everything neatly on the table. The person occasionally lifts the item toward the camera for a closer look, then places it back down. Realism requirements: natural body proportions, stable identity, realistic skin and clothing fabric, no face warping, no unnatural limb bending. Hands must be highly realistic: correct finger count, natural grip, believable pressure/contact with the box and device, consistent shadows, no extra fingers, no “floating” objects. Keep object geometry stable, no wobbling background, minimal temporal flicker. Camera: single continuous shot, tripod-stable, slight cinematic push-in (very slow), eye-level or slightly above table height. Natural soft daylight, clean shadows, realistic materials and textures. No logos, no brand names, no watermarks. No subtitles. Optional on-screen title at the top (perfectly readable and stable, no jitter): "UNBOXING — FIRST LOOK"

Tips & limitations

Wan 2.6 is easiest to steer when you use short beats, explicit transitions, and reference anchoring when identity must stay stable.

What works best

  • Use timestamped beats for pacing (2–3 beats max). One clear action per beat.
  • Repeat the same anchors across beats (subject, wardrobe/props, location, lighting, lens feel) to reduce drift.
  • For consistency, use Reference mode and tag clips directly in the prompt (@Video1 / @Video2 / @Video3).
  • Call out transitions (match cut, whip pan, cut on action) instead of “dynamic” wording.
  • Add a sound bed only when you’re in Text/Image modes; keep Reference runs focused on visuals.

Common problems → fast fixes

  • Subject changes / drift → reduce beats, repeat anchors in every beat, and switch to Reference with cleaner, tighter-framed videos.
  • Camera too jittery → replace “dynamic” with “slow, smooth, controlled”; specify “tripod-stable” or “smooth track”.
  • Beats feel inconsistent → add timestamps ([0–5s], [5–10s]) and make each beat a single readable action.
  • Look deviates from the key visual → start from Image→Video (hero frame), then only ask for motion; keep the style recipe identical.
  • Transitions feel jumpy → explicitly name the transition + keep the camera move continuous between beats.

Hard limits to keep in mind

  • Reference-to-Video supports only 5s or 10s (not 15s).
  • Reference mode uses 1–3 videos and expects @Video1/@Video2/@Video3 tags.
  • Prompts are short-form (800 characters); keep the “must-have” details early.
  • Audio URL / sound bed is not part of Reference-to-Video in this routing.
