Video model guide

Wan 2.6 video generation across three workspaces

Generate from a description, animate one starting picture, or restyle a clip you already own. Text and image tasks run 5, 10 or 15 seconds at 720p or 1080p; tasks that start from a video run 5 or 10 seconds.

Controls and specifications

Choose text to video for a written description, image to video for one starting picture, or video to video for one source clip. The buttons on this page open all three workspaces with Wan 2.6 selected.

Length is where the workspaces differ. Text and image tasks offer 5, 10 and 15 seconds. A task that starts from a video offers 5 and 10 seconds only — 15 seconds is not on that entry, so a longer result has to come from the text or image workspace. Every entry offers 720p and 1080p.

Pick the workspace first, then a length, 720p or 1080p, and the Multi-shots switch if you want it. There is no shape selector and no sound switch on this model. Descriptions are capped at 2000 characters in the text and image workspaces, and are required in the text workspace.

What this model is good at

Three starting points

Begin with nothing but a description, with a single picture you have already approved, or with an owned clip whose look you want changed. The controls stay familiar across the three, so switching the starting point does not mean relearning the panel.

A switch for multi-shot tasks

Enable Multi-shots when you want to request multiple shots within a clip. It is off by default. Review the generated transitions before using the result.

Two quality settings, three lengths

720p and 1080p are offered on every entry, and 5, 10 and 15 seconds on the text and image entries. The number changes with the pair you pick, which makes it easy to weigh a 15-second plan against two shorter ones before you commit.

Typical projects

A longer clip without stitching

When 5 seconds is too short for the story, move to 10 or 15 in the text or image workspace and weigh the number against two separate shorter tasks before you decide how to spend the credits.

Restyle footage you already own

Open the video-to-video entry with a clip from your own library, describe the look you want instead, and keep the length at 5 or 10 seconds to match the source you are working from.

Prepare a composition for your placement

Choose source material with the subject positioned for your intended placement. Check the generated framing and crop the final clip if needed; source proportions do not guarantee the output shape.

Limits to know before you start

  • The video-to-video entry stops at 10 seconds. Its length buttons are 5 and 10 only; the 15-second option exists in the text and image workspaces and nowhere else on this model.
  • There is no aspect-ratio selector. Prepare your source material for the intended composition, then check the output framing before publishing.
  • There is no sound switch. Listen to the generated result before publishing, and mute or replace its audio in editing when needed.
  • One input per task: one starting picture in the image workspace, one source clip in the video-to-video workspace. There are no other material slots, and no voice or character uploads.
  • The description is capped at 2000 characters in the text and image workspaces. It is required in the text workspace and optional in the image workspace, where an empty box sends a short instruction asking for natural motion.

How to start

1

Open the workspace

Use a button on this page. It opens the right workspace with this model already selected, in the language you are reading now.

2

Describe the result

Write what should happen in the shot or image. Concrete subjects, framing and action give the model more to work with than short labels.

3

Set the controls and confirm

Choose length or quality tier, shape and sound where offered, then read the credit quote for those exact settings before you generate.

What it costs

Generation uses account credits. Cost depends on the model, quality and output size or duration. Reference images, video or audio may add charges in some modes. Check the workspace quote for your selected inputs and settings before generating; the pricing page lists credit packages.

Questions about this model

Which workspaces can I use Wan 2.6 in?

Text to video, image to video and video to video. Use the corresponding button on this page to open Wan 2.6 in that workspace.

How long can the clip be?

5, 10 or 15 seconds in the text and image workspaces, and 5 or 10 seconds in the video-to-video workspace. Fifteen seconds is not offered on a task that starts from a video.

What does the Multi-shots switch do?

Enable Multi-shots when you want to request multiple shots within a clip. It is off by default. Review the generated transitions before using the result.

Can I set the shape of the video?

There is no aspect-ratio selector. Prepare your source material for the intended composition, then check the output framing before publishing.

Does it generate sound?

There is no sound switch. Listen to the generated result before publishing, and mute or replace its audio in editing when needed.

How many pictures or clips can I attach?

One. The image workspace takes one starting picture and the video-to-video workspace one source clip. There are no other material slots on this model.

Is a description required?

In the text workspace and in the video-to-video workspace, yes. In the image workspace you can leave it empty and the workspace sends a short instruction asking for natural motion. The limit is 2000 characters in the text and image workspaces.

What does a task cost?

The number rises with the length you pick and with the quality setting, and is shown per task before you confirm. Because the video-to-video entry stops at 10 seconds, a 15-second plan always comes from the text or image workspace.
