Wan 2.7 Pro Edit is an image row

Wan 2.7 Pro Edit is an 8-credit image editor. Wan 2.7 Video Edit is the 18-credit clip editor. Do not swap the slugs because both say 2.7 and both say edit. Wan 2.7 Pro Edit is content type image, category edit-image, 8 credits, requires an image, no duration list, audio empty. The catalog line: professional-grade image editing with text-guided instructions, supporting up to four reference images. Wan 2.7 Video Edit is content type video, category edit-video, 18 credits, durations 2–10 seconds. That is a clip job. This page is the stills row. It is not a Wan 2.7 video tour, and it is not the I2V contract on Wan 2.7 Image to Video.

Alibaba Cloud Model Studio ships wan2.7-t2v, wan2.7-i2v, wan2.7-r2v, and a video-edit line (as of 21 September 2026). Versely publishes those as separate cards. Pro Edit is the image one. Opening it because you wanted to restyle a 6-second take is how you spend 8 credits and get a PNG of a problem you still have as a video.

The name is the trap

Wan 2.7 is a family. Families attract the wrong click.

People grep "Wan 2.7," sort by the word Pro, and press generate. Pro sounds like the video they saw in a demo. On this catalog, Pro Edit is stills. The video siblings are named like video siblings: text-to-video (15 credits, 1080p, 2–15s, audio null on that row), image-to-video (15 credits, 1080p, 2–15s, audio null), reference-to-video (18 credits, 1080p, 2–10s), video-edit (18 credits, 2–10s). Do not mix Wan 2.6 native audio into 2.7. wan-v2-6-text-to-video is the row that lists native audio. 2.7's published video cards do not. Inventing audio on Pro Edit is a second error: there is no video, so there is no band.

The display name "Wan 2.7 Pro Edit" does not contain the word image. The content type does. Trust the content type. If the UI shows a duration menu, you are not on Pro Edit. If the UI demands a source image and offers no seconds, you are.

Requires an image is the other tell. You cannot describe a bottle from scratch on this slug. Upload the locked still. Write the change. A text-to-image prompt belongs on a T2I row — Wan 2.6 Text to Image is 3 credits and 4K if you wanted a Wan still from a sentence. Pro Edit is the delta on a file you already approved.

What the image card actually is

Fields, not the landing-page tone.

• ctype: image
• cats: edit-image
• credits: 8
• requires_image: true
• durs: empty
• audio: null
• max output: unset — do not stamp 4K on this card because other Wan stills list it
• aspects: 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4
• features: image_editing, text_guided, multi_image_reference, prompt_expansion, pro
• provider: Wan

Up to four reference images is the listed control. Use them as the SKU, the face, the type sample, the set — on-model with the still you are changing. A four-image mood board will pull the edit toward the board. Prompt expansion is a feature flag, not permission to paste a shot list. The instruction still needs a where, a verb, and a do-not-touch list. "Make it more premium" is how Pro Edit restyles the label you already legalled.

Eight credits is not cheap among stills editors. Qwen Image Edit 2511 is 3 credits for an instruction on a locked still. Pruna Image Edit is 1 credit and 4K listed. Pay 8 when the brief is a Wan-family stills edit with multiple references, not because Pro is a compliment. If the job is "remove the cup on the left, keep everything else," start on a 3-credit instruction row. Move to Pro Edit when the change is multi-ref and the still already lives in Wan's look.

Match the source aspect. Asking this row to become a 9:16 poster it was not given is a crop job wearing an edit prompt.

What video-edit is instead

Wan 2.7 Video Edit modifies a source video with prompts and an optional reference image for character, clothing, or style. Content type video. 18 credits. Durations 2s through 10s. Features listed include edit_video, reference_image, audio_preserve, prompt_extend. That is a clip you already have. It is not how you fix a label on a PNG.

If your source is a still, video-edit is the wrong door. You would be asking an 18-credit clip editor to invent time around a problem that is still a still. If your source is a clip and the job is "change the jacket in second three," Pro Edit is the wrong door. You would be flattening a take into a frame and calling it done.

The honest sequence for a Wan stills job:

1. Generate or photograph the still. If you need Wan T2I, use the T2I slug, not Pro Edit.
2. Edit on Pro Edit until you would print it. Four refs max. One change per run if the last run drifted.
3. If the still must move, image-to-video. Wan 2.7 I2V is 15 credits, 1080p, 2–15s, audio null. Hailuo 2.3 Fast is 6s / 10s at 28 credits when you wanted cheap short motion instead of Wan motion.
4. If you already had a clip and needed a video edit, skip this page. Use the video-edit slug.

The AI video generator will not run Pro Edit as a clip. The duration menu will be empty because the content type is image.

The sequence

Monday: lock the still. Camera file or a T2I row. Kill the ones you would not print.

Tuesday: one Pro Edit pass if a button, hem, or background is wrong. Not ten new generates named "edit."

Wednesday: I2V on the keeper, or stop if the deliverable was a still.

Thursday: captions on the clip, not inside the PNG. Add captions to video. Disclose if Article 50 applies to a realistic synthetic of a real person.

Friday: do not open Pro Edit to "see it in motion." Open a video row. Do not open video-edit to "just tweak the packshot." Open Pro Edit.

The test is one question: is the source a still? If yes, wan-2-7-pro-edit. If the source is a clip, wan-2-7-video-edit. If you needed motion from a locked still, that is I2V, not either edit slug.

Confirm the slug, then sign up when the job is an 8-credit stills edit, not a 2.7-shaped guess. Pro Edit stays an image row.

FAQ

Does Pro Edit generate video if I write a duration into the prompt?

No. Empty durs is the contract. You will get a still that looks like a frame from the shot you described. Buy motion on an I2V or T2V slug after the still is locked.

Can I use Pro Edit without a source image?

No. requires_image is true. A blank-page Wan still is a text-to-image card. This slug is the change.

Why is it 8 credits when Qwen Edit is 3?

Different contracts. Pro Edit sells a Wan-family, multi-reference, text-guided stills edit. Qwen 2511 sells a cheaper instruction on a locked file. Pick the brief. Do not pick Pro because the word looks like a upgrade.
