# Wan 2.2 Video Generation Guide

Wan 2.2 is our glow-up for AI video: faster renders, smarter motion, and prompts that feel like you’re directing a real crew. Let’s break down the new tricks and how to steer them. 🎬

## What's New in Wan 2.2 🚀

* **Cinema-grade control** — Lighting, lenses, and shot design respond to natural cinematography language.
* **Smoother motion** — Athletic moves, hero shots, and subtle acting land without the wobble.
* **Sharper realism** — The model keeps subjects on mark, even in busy scenes.
* **Quicker turnaround** — Iterations ship faster, so experimenting never feels like waiting on renders.

## Prompt Recipes 🍳

Prompts are the script for every clip. Choose the formula that matches your comfort level, then layer detail as you experiment.

### Quick Text-to-Video Formula

`Prompt = Subject + Scene + Motion`

* **Subject** — Who or what we’re looking at (person, creature, object).
* **Scene** — The setting, foreground to background.
* **Motion** — How everything moves (`walking through rain`, `floating gently`).

Perfect when you’re prototyping ideas or riffing on inspiration.

### Advanced Control Stack

`Prompt = Subject (Description) + Scene (Description) + Motion (Description) + Aesthetic Control + Stylization`

* **Subject description** — Key traits (`A black-haired Miao girl in embroidered attire`).
* **Scene description** — Environmental details and vibe.
* **Motion description** — Tempo and character of the movement (`slow spin`, `glass shattering on impact`).
* **Aesthetic control** — Cinematography cues: lighting, camera angles, lenses, shot sizes.
* **Stylization** — The finishing coat (`cyberpunk`, `watercolor`, `post-apocalyptic`).

Stacking these gives you frame-to-frame consistency and lets you direct like a DP.

### Image-to-Video Flow 🖼️➡️🎬

`Prompt = Motion Description + Camera Movement`

With an input image, your subject, scene, and style are already locked. Focus on:

* **Motion description** — What changes in the scene and how fast (`character waves slowly`, `petals swirl around her`).
* **Camera movement** — Moves like `dolly in`, `pan left`, or call out a `static shot` for a locked camera.

> `A black-haired Miao girl in traditional embroidered clothing stands on a misty mountain terrace at sunrise, slow breathing, petals drifting in the wind, cinematic lighting, soft focus, pan left`

## Cinematic Dials 🎥

Use these levers to sculpt the look:

* **Light source** — Direction and intensity of key lights.
* **Lighting style** — Natural, studio, neon, or mixed setups.
* **Time of day** — Morning haze, golden hour, midnight city glow.
* **Shot size** — Extreme close-up, medium shot, wide establishing.
* **Composition** — Rule of thirds, symmetry, leading lines.
* **Lens choice** — Focal length cues (`35mm prime`, `anamorphic`) and their impact.
* **Color tone** — Warm nostalgia, cold sci-fi blue, monochrome noir.

## Motion & Emotion Controls 💃

* **Action speed** — Call out how fast or dramatic the motion should feel.
* **Character emotion** — Specify facial expressions and body language.
* **Basic camera moves** — Pan, tilt, zoom, dolly.
* **Advanced choreography** — Multi-part moves like `steadicam orbit` or `drone swoop`.

## Style Finishing Touches 🎨

* **Visual style** — Realistic, anime, painterly, voxel, sketch.
* **Effects** — Lens flares, motion blur, grain, glitch, color grading passes.

## Success Checklist ✅

* **Start simple.** Validate the concept with the basic formula first.
* **Layer specifics.** Add adjectives, motion notes, and camera language for precision.
* **Reference cinema.** Borrow from shot lists, director notes, or favorite scenes.
* **Iterate fast.** Generate variants, keep the keepers, and tweak what misses.
* **Stay curious.** Swap prompts, remix styles, and treat each render like a storyboard panel.

Have fun directing—Wan 2.2 is ready to roll whenever you yell “Action!” 🎥✨
