Video workflow
How to plan video shots with Wan 5
Take a clear brief through the Wan 5 video workflow: describe subject action and camera movement, choose a model, add a reference image for the first frame, and review the clip.
02
Select your generation model
Choose from the models available in the Wan 5 generator. Review the selected model’s input controls and output options, then confirm the displayed credit estimate for your request.
03
Add a reference image for the first frame
Upload a reference image if your selected model accepts one. Explain whether it should guide the subject, composition, or color palette for the opening frame; keep the reference’s purpose clear rather than adding conflicting instructions.
04
Review and refine your video clip
Inspect your Wan 5 result. Check the subject action, camera movement, and continuity. Change one part of the prompt for a comparison you can evaluate.
Shot briefs & reference images
Wan 5 video generation and shot planning
Direct your Wan 5 shot with a precise shot brief and, when supported by the selected model, a visual reference. Define what moves, what changes, and which details matter most.
Text-to-video shot direction
Start a Wan 5 shot from a written brief. Describe the subject, action, and camera movement, then add the framing and continuity details that make the clip useful for your project.
- Name the subject and its action.
- Specify camera angle, movement, and duration.
- Check the returned clip against your brief.
Reference-guided video changes
Use a supported reference image to explain a particular subject, pose, or visual style for the first frame. In Wan 5, state the intended change clearly and review whether important details remain consistent.
- Check that the selected model supports image input.
- Explain the reference’s role in your shot brief.
- Compare subject details and motion before choosing a result.
Camera motion and shot composition
Plan a Wan 5 shot with a clear camera movement. Specify the subject’s position, the intended crop, and the motion path; review generated motion separately.
- Describe the camera path and negative space.
- Check individual subject movement and object placement.
- Complete final editing in a video editor.
Lighting, texture, and visual style
Give Wan 5 a specific lighting direction and a coherent palette. Describe surfaces such as matte fabric, wet stone, or brushed metal, then compare how the clip interprets those details.
- Choose a light source and color temperature.
- Name the materials that matter to the scene.
- Refine one visual variable at a time.

Generation workspace
Plan your Wan 5 video workflow
Keep your shot brief, selected model, and review criteria aligned in Wan 5. Explore model previews below and decide which inputs and controls fit the clip you need.
Choose the model for your request
Wan 5 is the website’s workspace name. The generator identifies the actual model used, including the available Wan versions and other video models. Check that selection before generating.
Match the input to your goal
Use text for a new scene and a supported reference image when visual guidance matters. Check input limits in the Wan 5 generator instead of assuming every model accepts the same files or settings.
Compare a focused visual direction
Use model previews to explore composition and camera motion ideas. They are illustrative stills; compare your own Wan 5 results against the same subject, framing, and movement brief.
Confirm controls and credit cost
Review the visible output options and current credit estimate. If you change the model or format in Wan 5, check the estimate again before submitting the next request.
Credits
Wan 5 credits, plans, and generation costs

The displayed cost estimate for your request

Task status and balance confirmation
