Wan video steps

Four steps from first frame to clip.

Follow these four steps in order inside Frameo.

  1. Pick your video model

    Open the composer and choose Wan from the model list. Every frontier model sits on the same canvas, so you can switch later without leaving.

  2. Start from text or a first frame

    Type the scene, or upload the still you want the clip to open on. A first frame fixes the look, the product or the face before any motion begins.

  3. Write subject, motion and camera

    Name one subject, one action and one camera move, such as a slow dolly or an orbit. Add light and a single style word.

  4. Set ratio and length, then generate

    Choose 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1 and a clip length. The exact cost of a render is shown before you start it.

Wan video questions

Wan is Alibaba's open-weights video model: it turns text or a starting image into a short clip. Running it yourself means a GPU and setup. Frameo runs it in your browser, and the exact credit cost is shown before each render.

Use text when you only have an idea. Use a first frame when the look, the product or the face has to match what you already have.

Wan makes short shots, one per run. The length choices and the exact cost of a render are shown before you start it.

Ask for one action and one camera move per prompt. Reuse the same first frame or character still across shots so the cast stays the same.

Your first frame is waiting. Make the clip.

Pick Wan, add a line of text or a starting image, and direct the shot.
