Wan 3.0 Video Edit edits existing videos with text prompts and optional reference images or audio, supporting prompt-guided scene changes, visual refinements, and multimodal video editing. Inputs longer than 15 seconds are trimmed to the first 15 seconds, with output aspect ratio automatically matched to the input video. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing.

Edit video 1: make the lighting warm golden-hour sunlight. Preserve the original subjects, composition, actions and camera motion.
Wan 3.0 Video Edit edits an existing video with natural-language instructions. Provide a source video, describe the changes you want, and optionally add reference images or audio to guide the result.
The source video is processed as video reference input, while the prompt controls the requested edit, motion, appearance, scene changes, and other transformations.
Prompt-based video editing
Edit an existing video using natural-language instructions.
Multimodal reference guidance
Add reference images and audio to provide additional visual or audio context.
Flexible output duration
Generate an edited result from 2 to 15 seconds.
480p, 720p, and 1080p output
Choose the resolution that fits your quality and cost requirements.
Audio control
Generate audio with the edited video or preserve the source audio track when available.
Prompt expansion
Enable prompt expansion when you want the input instruction optimized automatically.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| prompt | Yes | Editing instruction describing the desired result. Refer to uploaded assets as Video 1, Image 1, or Audio 1 when needed. |
| video | Yes | Input video URL. Videos longer than 15 seconds are trimmed to the first 15 seconds; videos shorter than 1 second are padded. |
| reference_images | No | Optional reference images for visual guidance. Supports up to 10 images. |
| reference_audios | No | Optional reference audio clips. Supports up to 5 clips, normalized to a combined maximum of 15 seconds. |
| duration | No | Output duration in seconds. Range: 2–15. If omitted, it follows the normalized source duration rounded up to a whole second, with a minimum of 2 seconds. |
| resolution | No | Output resolution: 480p, 720p, or 1080p. Default: 720p. |
| generate_audio | No | Whether to generate audio for the output. Default: true. When false, the source audio track is preserved when available. |
| enable_prompt_expansion | No | Enable automatic prompt expansion. Default: false. |
| seed | No | Random seed for generation. Use -1 for a random seed. |

The input video duration is rounded up to the next whole second and limited to 1–15 seconds.
If duration is omitted, the output duration follows the normalized input duration, with a minimum of 2 seconds and a maximum of 15 seconds.

|---|---|
| 480p | $0.05 |
| 720p | $0.10 |
| 1080p | $0.20 |
| Input Video | Output Duration | Total Billed Duration | 480p | 720p | 1080p |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1s | Default → 2s | 3s | $0.15 | $0.30 | $0.60 |
| 5s | Default → 5s | 10s | $0.50 | $1.00 | $2.00 |

| 15s | Default → 15s | 30s | $1.50 | $3.00 | $6.00 |
For example, a 5s source video with a 10s requested output at 720p is billed for 15 total seconds:
(5 + 10) × $0.10 = $1.50
reference_images, reference_audios, generate_audio, enable_prompt_expansion, and seed do not add separate charges.

time.sleep(2)Wan 3.0 Video Edit is a Alibaba model for video editing, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. Wan 3.0 Video Edit edits existing videos with text prompts and optional reference images or audio, supporting prompt-guided scene changes, visual refinements, and multimodal video editing. Inputs longer than 15 seconds are trimmed to the first 15 seconds, with output aspect ratio automatically matched to the input video. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.
POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID. Poll the result endpoint starting around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. The playground generates production-oriented Python, JavaScript, and cURL examples with timeouts, transient-error handling, and safe GET retries. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/alibaba/alibaba-wan-3.0-video-edit.
Wan 3.0 Video Edit starts at $0.50 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.
Key inputs: `prompt`, `video`, `resolution`, `seed`, `reference_images`, `enable_prompt_expansion`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/alibaba/alibaba-wan-3.0-video-edit.
Sign up for a free WaveSpeedAI account to claim starter credits, copy your API key from /accesskey, then call the endpoint shown in the API tab of the playground. The playground also auto-generates a code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for the parameters you've set.
Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (Alibaba). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
