Prompting tips for Wan 2.5 and visual examples
Wan 2.5 works best with clear, structured prompts that guide both visual and audio elements. Use these tips to improve output quality:
- Focus on motion and mood: A fox runs through snowy woods, wind blowing, soft footsteps.
- Add ambient or sound cues: City street at night, headlights, distant voices.
- Use camera language: Overhead angle, slow zoom out.
- Mention light conditions (e.g., golden hour) and how the scene should progress (e.g., slow pan over 10 seconds).
- Break complex actions into short sequences.
Example 1
Prompt: Close-up shot: A woman in a vintage suit sits pensively at a table with colorful microphones. The camera slowly zooms in on her thoughtful expression, and talk to the microphone, capturing the tension in the room. Soft, warm lighting enhances the retro aesthetic, while a subtle background movement suggests a bustling environment.
Example 2
Prompt: Smooth dolly shot: A young man in a modern apartment carefully unpacks a box of headphones. The camera gently zooms in on his focused expression and the variety of headphones, showcasing the city skyline through the large windows in the background.
