Seamless looping clip on Wan 3.0: same first and last frame, priced
Wan 3.0 takes a start and an end frame. Use one image for both for a loop: 5 seconds costs $0.32 at 480p, $0.63 at 720p, $1.25 at 1080p.

Wan 3.0 image-to-video supports an end frame. Pass the same image as start and end and the clip starts and ends on the same picture, which is how you build a loop. Prices are Sume billable rates (provider list x 1.25, rounded up to the cent per job), read 2026-10-07.
Loop price
| Resolution | Rate | 5 s job |
|---|---|---|
| 480p | $0.0625 | $0.32 |
| 720p | $0.125 | $0.63 |
| 1080p | $0.25 | $1.25 |
Check the seam by playing the clip twice in a row before you ship it, since the motion has to arrive back at the first pose. Shorter loops (2 to 3 seconds) are easier to land; 3 seconds at 720p is $0.38. Payload shape (field names follow the catalog, confirm with GET /v1/videos/models):
import json
img = "https://example.com/start.jpg"
payload = {"model": "wan-3.0", "duration": 5,
"resolution": "720p", "frame_images": [
{"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": img},
"frame_type": "first_frame"},
{"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": img},
"frame_type": "last_frame"}]}
print(json.dumps(payload)[:80])Sources
