What Wan does well
The strengths worth knowing before you write your first prompt.
Fast turnarounds
A typical clip is ready in about two minutes, so you can test several looks in the time a premium render takes.
Broad creative range
Watercolor, pixel art, claymation, glitch, film grain. Wan is happy to try unusual styles, which makes it great for exploring.
Animate a still
Upload one start image and describe the motion. Concept art, illustrations and photos all work well as a first frame.
Every aspect ratio
Render in 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4 or 21:9 at 480p or 720p.
Silent clips
Wan renders picture only. That keeps it simple for loops, backgrounds and edits where you will add your own sound.
What you can make with Wan
Style exploration
Try the same idea in five different looks before you pick a direction for the real project.
Looping backgrounds
Animated textures, abstract motion and stylized scenery for websites, streams and presentations.
Animated illustrations
Give a drawing or a piece of concept art gentle motion while keeping its hand-made character.
How to use Wan
Four steps from an idea to a finished clip, all in the workspace above.
- 01
Choose Image or Text
Start from Text to describe the whole clip, or from Image to bring one picture you already have to life.
- 02
Add a start image
In Image mode, upload one sharp, well-lit picture. It becomes the opening frame, so leave a little room around the subject if the camera will move.
- 03
Write the prompt
Describe the action, the camera move and the mood in a sentence or two. One main action per clip reads better than three.
- 04
Set the shot and generate
Choose 5 or 8 seconds, 480p or 720p and an aspect ratio, check the credit cost on the button, then generate. Keep the best take or continue it from the last frame.

What is Wan?
Wan is a fast video model on NovaMotions AI for stylized and experimental clips. It makes 5 or 8 second silent videos in 480p or 720p from text or from one start image.
Does Wan generate audio?
No, Wan clips are silent. For sound in the same render, use Wan 2.7, Wan 3.0 or Seedance 2.0 Mini.
Which lengths, resolutions and ratios are available?
Choose 5 or 8 seconds, 480p or 720p, and 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4 or 21:9.
Can I use references or a last frame?
Wan animates one start image and does not take a last frame or extra reference files. Wan 2.7 adds both if you need them.
How do I get a strong style?
Name the style at the start of the prompt, like claymation style or pixel art, then add two or three details that define it, such as visible fingerprints or a limited palette.
How fast is Wan?
Most clips are ready in about two minutes. Shorter clips at 480p come back fastest, which makes Wan good for testing many ideas in a row.
When should I move to a bigger model?
When you have found the look and need sound, references, 1080p or clips longer than 8 seconds. Paste the same prompt into Wan 2.7 or Wan 3.0 to continue.
How many credits does a Wan clip use?
It depends on the clip. Longer clips, higher resolutions and native audio use more credits. The exact amount shows on the Generate button before you spend anything, and the same balance works for video, images and music.
What happens if a Wan generation fails?
Every credit goes straight back to your balance automatically. There is nothing to claim or report. Adjust the prompt or the settings and try again.
Can I use Wan videos commercially?
Yes. Every plan includes commercial use and downloads have no watermark. You are still responsible for what you make, so avoid real people, logos or characters you do not have the rights to.
