Driving-range ads lock the bay net; course flyovers belong on golf-courses

The SKU is the stall, the mat, the numbered bay. Wan 2.7 I2V holds the net. Fairway identity is /for/golf-courses, not range OEM.

A driving-range ad that books a bay is this stall: the divider, the numbered plaque, the mat you actually installed, the net that stops a mishit. It is not a drone down a signature par-3, not a dew-on-greens report, not a membership fourball. Those shots fill a tee sheet. They do not sell a stall. Photograph the bay. Animate the net. Leave the fairway to the course page.

The bay is the SKU

Range OEM and range operators sell hardware and a numbered space. The buyer already knows what a golf ball looks like. They need to recognise their stall: mat texture, tee-line paint, net mesh, the heater if the bay is covered. Text-to-video will invent a cousin range — a prettier net, a different number, a house behind the fence that is not on your lot.

Image-to-video starts from the still you upload. Prompt camera and physics: a slow push down the stall, mesh breathing, no new divider. Re-describing “luxury golf range at golden hour” is how the model starts drawing a course.

Turn a photo into a video is the named agent job for one still in, motion out. Cost is priced per model, shown before you confirm. That is the bay wiggle, not a flyover.

Crop people out if you do not have a grant. Golfers in the next stall are private figures, not extras. If you need a ball in the net, shoot the ball in the net. Do not prompt a generated swing of a person you did not cast.

Wan 2.7 holds the net

Wan 2.7 Image to Video is the identity-hold row: a still required, 2s–15s in one-second steps, 1080p ceiling, 15 credits. Three modes: first-frame to video, first-and-last-frame interpolation, or video continuation. Catalog audio is unset. Optional driving audio is a track you attach, not a soundtrack the model always invents. Do not treat this as a native-audio talking row.

First-frame. Your bay still is 0:00. Prompt mesh and camera, not a new fence. Two seconds is the floor. Fifteen is the ceiling. A wrong 15s clip is a longer wrong net.

First-and-last-frame. Pin empty stall and stall-with-ball-in-net if both stills share geometry. A last frame of hole 7 is a morph.

Video continuation. Extend a take that is already on-model. That is not how you invent the range.

If the plaque number is wrong in the still, every mode spends 15 credits animating the typo. Fix the frame, then come back. Do not confuse this with Wan text-to-video or reference-to-video. Same generation number, different slugs. The bay job is image-to-video.

Muted autoplay still needs hours or a bay-count line on the file. Wan 2.7 will not typeset it. Overlay after lock.

Fairway identity is a different audience

/for/golf-courses is perishable tee times: greens this morning, a twilight rate, a hole flyover, a membership story. That is the course’s problem. A driving range that copies it will look like a club the visitor cannot book a stall at.

Do not rewrite that /for page onto range OEM. A signature-hole flyover is fairway identity. A numbered bay is stall identity. If you operate both, run two objects: course conditions on the golf-courses playbook, bay stills on Wan. Mixing them is how a stall ad grows a green you do not mow.

Generated golfers on the mat are a likeness problem. Empty bay, or a consented person you filmed. Hours and bay count are overlay, not Wan glyphs.

What the still has to keep

The net mesh. The plaque number. The mat. The roof line of this cover. A ball that is already in the frame, if any. Weather that does not rewrite geometry — wind in a flag that is already there, not a new tree behind the fence.

Do not “improve” the neighbour’s house or grow a turf brand you do not install. A regular who parks in bay 12 will notice before they notice your logo. If the still is a wide of twenty stalls, pick a hero bay. A wide is a facility plate. A close-up of mesh is a product plate. Do not prompt one generate to be both. Fifteen credits is the catalog price. Confirm the net at 2s. Then buy length.

FAQ

Can I text-to-video a cinematic range and skip the bay photo?

You can. You will get a cousin net and a number you do not own. Range OEM is the stall you photographed. Wan 2.7 I2V requires that image.

Does Wan 2.7 add a soundtrack to the bay clip?

Catalog audio is unset. Optional driving audio is a track you supply. It is not native dialogue from a silent prompt. Overlay hours. Score later if you need mix. Do not expect a generated teaching pro.

Why not run the golf-courses playbook on our range?

/for/golf-courses fills tee sheets with conditions and flyovers. A range books a numbered bay. Fairway identity is that page. Stall identity is this still. Copying flyovers onto OEM is a different park.

First-frame or first-last for a bay?

First-frame if you have one approved stall still and you want mesh motion. First-last if you have two stills of the same bay (empty, then ball in net) and the shot must land. Unrelated hole photography as a last frame is a morph.
