Made with Wan 3.0

Real renders from this site, with the exact prompt. Use one as a starting point.

  • “A red paper boat drifts down a rain-soaked city gutter at dusk, neon reflections ripple on the water, the camera follows low and close, soft rain and distant traffic”

    Use this prompt

  • “Handheld walk through a crowded night market in Taipei, steam rising from food stalls, a vendor flips skewers and smiles at the camera, sizzling grills and chatter”

  • “A teenage skater carves down an empty sunset street, the camera tracks beside her at board height, wheels rumbling on asphalt, warm lens flare”

  • “Top-down macro of a barista pouring latte art, milk folding into a rosetta, slow motion, quiet café ambience and a spoon clinking”

    Text · Wan 3.0 Prime · 720P · 5s

    Use this prompt

  • “Drone shot gliding low over a turquoise glacier lake at sunrise, mist drifting across the water, a slow rise reveals snow peaks, deep wind and ambient strings”

Built for production

The parts you'd otherwise build yourself around a raw model endpoint.

  • Async tasks

    Submit returns in about a second with a task id. Poll or take a callback; no open connections for minutes.

  • Callbacks

    Pass callback_url and get the finished task POSTed to your server, with retries.

  • Safe retries

    An Idempotency-Key header makes a retried request return the first task instead of rendering twice.

  • Automatic refunds

    Blocked, timed-out or failed renders put the credits back without a support ticket.

  • Links that last

    Outputs are copied to our storage, so video_url keeps working after provider links expire.

  • Keys and logs

    Several named keys per account, instant revoke, and a log of every request with status and cost.
