Wan 3.0 Pro API

Introduction

Wan 3.0 Pro Video extend continues a clip you already have. Send it as video_url, and add a prompt for what happens next if you want one. The final frame of your clip becomes the opening frame of a new Wan 3.0 Pro image-to-video shot of 2 to 30 seconds, and the two are joined into one MP4: your original first, then the continuation, with the repeated seam frame removed. The new segment also comes back as its own file, so you can keep extending or edit the pieces separately.

Key features

Continuity comes from the last frame. Wardrobe, set, light and where everyone stands carry over because the new segment literally starts on your final frame. Motion does not carry over the same way: the model sees one still, not the whole clip, so describe the movement you want to continue instead of assuming it will keep its speed or direction.

You can choose the ending. last_image_url is an optional target end frame: the new segment closes exactly on that image, which suits a product that has to return to its hero angle or a move that has to land on a fixed composition. Without it, the model decides how the shot ends.

The tiers are those of Wan 3.0 Pro image-to-video: 1080p, 2k and 4k. A native render tops out at 1080p, so 2k and 4k are enlarged from it, and there is no 480p or 720p tier.

One file back, plus the new piece on its own. The joined result is an H.264 MP4 with AAC sound. It keeps your clip’s frame rate and its framing, with no black bars. To line the seam up, the picture may be trimmed or adjusted by a few percent at the edges. If the model returns a noticeably different shape, the new segment is scaled to fill your frame and centered, cropping what spills over. Sound from your source stays; sound generated for the new segment follows it; a silent side is padded with silence so picture and sound stay in step at the seam. The second asset in the output is the new segment alone, ready for another extend or for an editor.

Pricing

Prices are in credits, the same credits you use on the website (1 credit = $0.01). The hold is taken when the task is accepted and settled to the actual charge when it finishes; failed tasks are refunded.

For an exact number before you run, send the same body to POST /jobs/quote.

Use cases

Lengthen a shot that ended too early: a product turntable that stops before the label faces camera, or a walk that cuts before the subject reaches the door. Extend it by a few seconds and describe only the remaining motion.

Build a longer sequence step by step. Because every step starts from a single frame, watch each seam before stacking the next one.

Prompt guide & pro tips

Describe the next beat, not the whole scene. The frame already fixes who and where, so spend the prompt on the action that follows and the camera move. Repeat the camera language your clip ended on, such as a slow push in or a locked shot, so the seam reads as one take. The prompt is optional; without one, the model continues from the frame alone.

Trim before you extend. The last frame is the only thing the model sees, so a blurred, mid-cut or heavily compressed ending carries straight into the continuation. Cut your source on a clean, sharp frame first. Sources of up to 60 seconds are accepted as MP4, MOV or WebM.

API quick start

Call the Wan 3.0 Pro API in three steps

1. Create an API key. Sign in to PopNow and create a key in the API console. Keys start with sk-popnow- and use the same credits as the website.
2. Send the request. POST /jobs/createTask with model alibaba/wan-3.0-pro/video-extend and an input object that follows the parameter table. The response returns a task ID straight away.
3. Get the result. Poll GET /jobs/recordInfo with the task ID, or pass a callBackUrl and we post the result to it. Download the output links when the task succeeds.

# 1. Create the task. Keep the Idempotency-Key if you retry after a network error.
export IDEMPOTENCY_KEY="$(uuidgen)"
curl -X POST https://api.popnow.ai/api/v1/jobs/createTask \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $POPNOW_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $IDEMPOTENCY_KEY" \
  -d '{
  "model": "alibaba/wan-3.0-pro/video-extend",
  "input": {
    "video_url": "https://media.popnow.ai/effects/flower-bloom-1abd6efb.mp4",
    "resolution": "1080p",
    "duration_seconds": 5
  }
}'

# 2. Copy data.taskId from the response, then poll until state is succeeded, failed, canceled or expired.
TASK_ID="TASK_ID_FROM_RESPONSE"
curl "https://api.popnow.ai/api/v1/jobs/recordInfo?taskId=$TASK_ID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $POPNOW_API_KEY"

Replace the prompt and any links with your own. The API tab has the response, polling and callback reference.
