Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Wan 2.6's multi-shot capability unique?
Wan 2.6 is the first model to truly understand storyboard logic. Unlike Wan 2.5 which created messy "morphing" effects, Wan 2.6 can automatically segment a single prompt into multiple distinct shots with coherent transitions, maintaining character consistency across scene changes.
How does Reference-to-Video (R2V) work?
Upload a 2-30 second reference video, and Wan 2.6 extracts the character's appearance, movement patterns, and voice characteristics. You can then generate new videos featuring the same character with consistent identity—ideal for creating character-driven content series.
What video formats and durations are supported?
Wan 2.6 generates 1080p videos at 24fps with durations from 5 to 15 seconds. Supported aspect ratios include 16:9 (YouTube), 9:16 (Instagram Reels/TikTok), and 1:1 (square format), optimized for each platform without requiring post-production cropping.
Can Wan 2.6 render text in videos?
Yes! Wan 2.6 features industry-leading text rendering for product packaging, signage, and branded content. The model can generate clear, readable text within video frames—a critical feature that Seedance and most competitors lack.
What's the difference between T2V, I2V, and R2V modes?
T2V (Text-to-Video) generates from text prompts with multi-shot capability. I2V (Image-to-Video) animates still images with precise text rendering. R2V (Reference-to-Video) uses video references to preserve character identity across generations. Choose based on your input type and consistency needs.
Do I have commercial rights to generated videos?
Yes! Every Wan 2.6 creation comes with full commercial usage rights. Videos are production-ready for marketing campaigns, client deliverables, branded content, and commercial applications without additional licensing requirements.

Wan 2.6 Spicy Image-to-Video
Wan 2.6 Spicy Image-to-Video turns a first-frame image into a short motion clip with expressive character movement and stable temporal detail. This AtlasCloud variant uses a dedicated Wan 2.6 image-to-video LoRA deployment for a more stylized motion profile.
Highlights
- First-frame image-to-video: Use one starting image plus a text prompt to control movement and camera direction.
- 720p, 1080p, and SR output: Use native 720p/1080p, or choose 1080p-SR / 1440p-SR for FlashVSR super-resolution from a 720p source.
- Short-form generation: Supports 5s, 10s, and 15s clips.
- Optional audio control: Provide an audio URL to guide motion, or disable generated audio for silent output.
- Negative prompt support: Add optional constraints to reduce blur, distortion, or unwanted artifacts.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
model | Yes | atlascloud/wan-2.6-spicy/image-to-video |
prompt | Yes | Text prompt describing the desired motion. |
image | Yes | First-frame image URL or Base64 image. |
audio | No | Audio URL to guide the generated motion. |
negative_prompt | No | Text describing what to avoid. |
resolution | Yes | 720p, 1080p, 1080p-sr, or 1440p-sr. SR modes render a 720p source and apply FlashVSR. |
duration | No | 5, 10, or 15 seconds. Defaults to 5. |
enable_prompt_expansion | No | Enable upstream prompt expansion. Defaults to false. |
shot_type | No | single or multi. Multi-shot mode requires prompt expansion. Defaults to single. |
generate_audio | No | Whether to include generated audio. Defaults to true; set false for silent output. |
seed | No | Random seed. -1 means random. |
How To Use
curl -X POST "https://api.atlascloud.ai/api/v1/model/generateVideo" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $AIP_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ --data-raw '{ "model": "atlascloud/wan-2.6-spicy/image-to-video", "prompt": "The woman turns toward the camera with a confident smile, hair moving naturally as the camera slowly pushes in.", "image": "https://static.atlascloud.ai/media/images/db548fe3bd5cafa4ef7e0141d69c8566.jpeg", "negative_prompt": "blurry, low quality, distorted hands, extra limbs", "duration": 5, "resolution": "720p", "generate_audio": true, "seed": -1 }'
Pricing
Pricing uses Wan 2.6 Image-to-Video native-resolution multipliers before account or environment discounts. SR tiers are priced at 80% of the equivalent native-resolution price.
| Resolution | Multiplier | 5s Base Price | 10s Base Price | 15s Base Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 720p | 1.0x | $0.50 | $1.00 | $1.50 |
| 1080p | 1.5x | $0.75 | $1.50 | $2.25 |
| 1080p-sr | 1.2x | $0.60 | $1.20 | $1.80 |
| 1440p-sr | 2.1333x | $1.0667 | $2.1333 | $3.20 |
Formula:
sku_base * max(5, duration) * ( resolution == "1440p-sr" ? 2.1333 : (resolution == "1080p-sr" ? 1.2 : (resolution == "1080p" || resolution == "1080P" ? 1.5 : 1)) )
sku_base = $0.1000/s for 720p. The runtime then applies the model/account discount configured in that environment.
Notes
- This model is allowlist-enabled. Contact AtlasCloud if it is not visible or callable from your account.
- 480p is not exposed for this model.
- This endpoint uses the input image as the first frame of the generated video.
