Wan 2.1 for tutorial golden retriever work
Wan 2.1 is the first generation of the family, best known for motion consistency. This page is the 5-second animate route for a golden retriever, in a tutorial treatment.
What to set
- Duration: 5 seconds. Longer runs cost more credits, and the credit cost is shown next to the form before you submit, so the price is known before anything runs.
- Task: animate. Drive a subject from a performance clip rather than describing the motion in text.
- Aspect: 16:9 - landscape, the default for anything that plays on a screen.
- Style: tutorial. Put the style words first in the prompt - they weigh more than modifiers placed at the end.
A prompt that works for a golden retriever
tutorial, a golden retriever in motion, natural light, shallow depth of field, 5-second shot, no text
Treat the first render as a test rather than a final asset: watch the motion, then change one thing at a time. The live controls on the page are the source of truth for what the model accepts, not this text.
