Good to know
Billing
Runs bill your account credits at provider cost with 0% markup. The submit response includes the credit estimate; failed generations are refunded automatically. Add ?dryRun=1 to get the estimate without running anything.
Errors
Errors are always { "error": { "code", "message" } } with stable codes: unauthorized, model_not_available, invalid_parameter, insufficient_credits, rate_limited. A failed run is not an HTTP error — poll responses report status: "FAILED" with the reason.
What makes Wan 3.0 Prime Image to Video different
Wan 3.0, up to seven times faster
Prime runs the full Wan 3.0 toolset (text, first-frame and reference generation, native audio, 30-second takes) on an accelerated pipeline. Choose it when turnaround matters: iterating on a long take, previewing variations for a client, or keeping a production queue moving.
Single takes up to 30 seconds
Any length from 2 to 30 seconds in one continuous pass, with no stitching. That is long enough for a complete ad spot, a full scene or a product walkthrough, generated as a single shot.
Native audio at no extra cost
Dialogue, sound effects and music are generated in sync with the picture and steered by your prompt. Audio is on by default and the price is the same with it on or off.
Billed at cost in a visual workflow
Wan 3.0 Prime runs as a node in Scenetra's node-based editor, next to image and video models on one canvas. Every render goes to the cheapest provider that supports your settings and is billed at provider cost with 0% markup.

Frequently asked questions
What is Wan 3.0 Prime image-to-video?+
It's the image-to-video mode of Alibaba's Wan 3.0 Prime. Your image becomes the first frame and the model generates a continuous 2 to 30 second video with native audio, faster than standard Wan 3.0. On Scenetra it runs as a node in the visual workflow editor and through the API as wan-3.0-prime-i2v.
Is Prime image-to-video better than standard Wan 3.0?+
