Wan3.0 Video Generation - Alibaba Cloud Model Studio

Scope

Supported models vary by region and resources are independent across regions. For supported models per region, see the Model Studio console.
Before making calls, first Obtain an API key, then Configure API key as an environment variable. Replace {WorkspaceId} in the URL with your actual workspace ID.
When making API calls, ensure that the model, Endpoint URL, and API Key all belong to the same region. Cross-region calls will fail.

The sample code is applicable to the Singapore region.

Model capabilities

wan3.0-video / wan3.0-video-prime is an All-in-One model that covers all the following task types without switching model names. The model automatically routes based on the type field in input.media and the prompt intent.

Task type		Trigger method	Usage notes
Text-to-video		Only pass `prompt`, do not pass `media`	Supports free setting of resolution, aspect ratio, and duration
Image-to-video	First frame to video	`type` set to `first_frame`	`ratio` recommended as `adaptive`, model auto-matches first frame aspect ratio
Image-to-video	First and last frame to video	`type` set to `first_frame` and `last_frame`	`ratio` recommended as `adaptive`, model auto-matches first frame aspect ratio
Multi-modal reference	Image reference	`type` set to `reference_image`	Up to 10 images, each no more than 20MB
	Video reference	`type` set to `reference_video`	Up to 5 clips, total duration no more than 15 seconds, each no more than 100MB
	Audio reference	`type` set to `reference_audio`	Up to 5 clips, total duration no more than 15 seconds, each no more than 15MB
	Combined reference	`type` set to `reference_image`/`reference_video`/`reference_audio` combination	Supports any combination of image/video/audio references (image+video, image+audio, video+audio, image+video+audio)
	File/web page reference	`type` set to `file` or `link` (choose one, max 1 each)	Parse document/web page content to generate video. Only publicly accessible pages are supported.
Video editing		`type` set to `reference_video` + prompt with editing intent (e.g., "convert to", "remove", "replace", "change to")	Add/remove/modify elements, style conversion, lighting editing, dialogue editing. `ratio` recommended as `adaptive`, `duration` recommended as `-1` (auto-preserves original aspect ratio and duration)
Video extension		`type` set to `reference_video` + prompt with extension intent (e.g., "extend", "continue", "extend forward/backward")	Extend forward/backward/both directions. `ratio` recommended as `adaptive` (auto-preserves original aspect ratio)

Core capabilities

Before making calls, first Obtain an API key, then Configure API key as an environment variable. To call via SDK, please install the DashScope SDK.

Text-to-video

Generate video using only a prompt, without any media input. Natively supports up to 30-second multi-shot narratives with auto-generated synchronized dialogue, BGM, and sound effects.

Input prompt

Output video (multi-shot, with audio)

A vision of future technology and nature coexisting in harmony. Shot 1 [0-2s] Panoramic view of a futuristic city's aerial garden, floating plants swaying in the breeze. Shot 2 [2-4s] A robot gardener carefully trimming plants with precise and elegant movements. Shot 3 [4-7s] Sunlight streams through the transparent dome, illuminating the entire garden, showcasing the perfect fusion of technology and nature. Shot 4 [7-10s] Camera pulls back to reveal the spectacular view of the entire futuristic city, with the aerial garden being just one part of it.

Reference video generation

Provide reference images, videos, audio, files, or web links through input.media, and the model automatically understands the intent to generate video. In the prompt, use "Image 1", "Video 1", "Audio 1", etc. to refer to the corresponding materials in the media array.

Material designation rules: Images, videos, and audio are counted separately. The first reference_image in the input.media array corresponds to "Image 1" in the prompt, the second to "Image 2"; the first reference_video corresponds to "Video 1"; the first reference_audio corresponds to "Audio 1", and so on. The three types do not conflict and can coexist.

Input prompt: Video 1 holds Image 3, sitting on the chair in Image 4, playing a soothing country folk song, and says: "The sunshine is so nice today." Image 1 holds Image 2 in hand, walks past Video 1, places Image 2 on the table next to Video 1, and says: "That sounds great, can you sing it again?"
Input image (Image 1)	Input video (Video 1)	Input images (Image 2, Image 3)	Input image (Image 4)	Output video

Input media

Each element in the input.media array contains type and url fields. Supported types and constraints are as follows:

type	Description	Constraints
`first_frame`	First frame image, strictly used as the first frame of the video	Maximum 1
`last_frame`	Last frame image, strictly used as the last frame of the video	Maximum 1
`reference_image`	Reference image	Maximum 10
`reference_video`	Reference video	Maximum 5, total duration no more than 15 seconds
`reference_audio`	Reference audio	Maximum 5, total duration no more than 15 seconds
`file`	File (docx, ppt, pdf, txt, etc.)	Maximum 1, cannot be used with link simultaneously
`link`	Web link (public web pages)	Maximum 1, cannot be used with file simultaneously

reference_xx/file/link types and first_frame/last_frame types are mutually exclusive and cannot be used in the same request.

Output video

Format: MP4, 30fps frame rate.
The video URL is valid for 24 hours. Please save the video promptly.
Video dimensions are determined by resolution and ratio together. When using adaptive, the model automatically recommends an aspect ratio based on the input.

Wan3.0 Video Generation API Reference

FAQ

Q: What are the differences between wan3.0-video and wan2.7 series models?

A: wan3.0-video is an All-in-One model with the following key differences:

Unified model name: wan3.0-video replaces wan2.7-t2v, wan2.7-i2v, and other separate models.

Q: What do "Image 1" and "Video 1" mean in reference video generation?

A: Use "Image 1", "Video 1", "Audio 1" in the prompt to reference materials in the media array by their corresponding type. Images, videos, and audio are counted separately: the first reference_image in the array corresponds to "Image 1", the first reference_video corresponds to "Video 1", and so on.
