How to Write Wan3.0 Prompts? Practical Templates and Optimization Tips for Clearer AI Video Creation

To use Wan3.0 to generate videos that match your creative idea, prompts need to clearly state the action, camera movement, and sound arrangement. Based on the model guide, this article organizes prompt templates for image-to-video, multi-reference generation, and multi-shot storytelling to help you express creative requirements in a more structured way.

Wan3.0 Prompt Templates: Choose the Wording by Creation Scenario

Different generation methods require different descriptive priorities. The following templates and examples are organized according to the model guide and can be adapted with actual materials; they are not built-in platform templates. Image-to-video: motion + camera movement. The first-frame or first-and-last-frame images already provide information about the subject, scene, and style, so the prompt can focus on how the image changes and how the camera moves.

Template

The [subject] in the image [action and speed], [environmental dynamics]. The camera [movement direction and method].

Example

The girl in the image slowly turns around, raises her head to look out the window, and a light breeze gently moves the curtains. The camera slowly pushes in to a close-up of her face.

Multi-reference generation: reference subject + action + dialogue

When using reference materials, you should explain the purpose of each material, such as character appearance, camera movement style, or voice timbre, to reduce unclear reference intent.

Template

Use [the person in the reference image] as the main character to complete [action]; use [reference video] as the reference for camera movement. The character says in a [emotion, speaking speed] manner: “[dialogue],” with the voice timbre referencing [reference audio]. In actual use, associate the corresponding files through the available material reference method. Multi-shot video: overall description + shot number + timestamp + storyboard content. When a short film or advertising idea involves multiple shots, you can first state the overall style, then describe the action and visual focus by time segment.ExampleA warm, realistic café short film using soft morning light. Shot 1 [0—3 seconds]: medium shot, a staff member places a coffee cup on a wooden table. Shot 2 [3—6 seconds]: close-up, steam from the coffee slowly rises, and the camera gently pushes in. Shot 3 [6—10 seconds]: close shot, the customer picks up the cup and smiles. There is no dialogue throughout the film; keep the sound of the cup touching the table, paired with gentle piano background music.

Wan3.0 Prompt Optimization: Make Vague Requirements Specific

Use action details instead of abstract adjectives

Rather than only writing “the character is very nervous,” you can write “the character grips the letter in their hand, lowers their head and pauses, then quickly looks toward the door.” Let emotions correspond to visible expressions and actions, making it easier to express the visual intent.

Make clear whether the camera cuts

When you need a sense of continuous filming, you can write “generate a single shot, one continuous take”; when you need multi-shot storytelling, list shot numbers and time ranges. Avoid conflicting descriptions such as “fixed camera” and “continuous orbit” in the same requirement.

Describe voice, sound effects, and music separately

Sound can be organized as “voice + sound effects + background music.” For dialogue, state the content and tone; for sound effects, state the sound source and action. When dialogue or music is not needed, you can clearly write “no dialogue throughout the film” or “no background music” to reduce the space for the model to improvise.

Organizing Prompts and Creative Materials in NadouPro

NadouPro is a professional AI film and television production and video creation platform under iQIYI. Creators can organize text, image, video, and audio nodes through Canvas, and can also structure scripts, subjects, and storyboards in Workbench to prepare clear shot requirements for prompts. Combining reference materials, storyboard descriptions, and generated results for review helps determine what needs to be adjusted in the next round. This article introduces prompt writing methods; the specific modes and parameters of Wan3.0 should be based on the interface actually available in NadouPro.

FAQ
Are longer Wan3.0 prompts better?

There is no need to pursue length. Prioritize clearly stating the subject’s action, camera movement, and sound, then add details related to the image.

Does image-to-video require describing the entire image again?

The first frame already provides information about the subject, scene, and style, so you can focus on adding the dynamic process and camera movement requirements.

How do I prompt Wan3.0 to generate a one-continuous-take video?

You can write “generate a single shot, one continuous take” and describe the continuous action and camera path, then still check the result after generation.

How can I avoid the video automatically adding dialogue or background music?

Clearly write “no dialogue throughout the film” or “no background music” in the prompt to express the corresponding requirement.

Are these templates a one-click optimization feature of NadouPro?

No. These are writing templates organized according to the model guide and can be modified and used according to creative needs.
