    Wan 2.7 Video Edit edits footage you already have. A new generate is a different identity.

    Wan, category edit-video, 18 credits. Description: "Wan 2.7 video editing — modify a source video using prompts and an optional reference image for character, clothing, or style guidance." requires_image is false. Durations listed: 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 6s, 7s, 8s, 9s, 10s. Aspects: 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4. Qualities: 720p, 1080p. No max-resolution field on the record. audio is unset. This is a delta on a clip, not a second sample of Wan 2.7 Text to Video.

    2s through 10s is the edit window

    The title's 2s / 3s / 4s are the short end. The catalog lists every integer second from 2s to 10s. That window is the retouch, not a new short film. If the source is a 10-second keeper and you only need the jacket changed, pick the duration that matches the source rather than inventing a longer scene in the instruction.

    18 credits is the catalog figure. That is still an edit bill. Wan 2.7 Text to Video will give you a new identity for a different number. Do not "fix" a miss by editing it into a different commercial. That is a generate with extra steps.

    The agent door is edit or redo a previous generation. The tool is AI video editor. Wan's roster also holds 2.6 stills and 2.7 image-to-video. Best Wan model is the family rank. This page is the edit SKU.

    Optional still, required change

    One optional reference image can guide character, clothing, or style. It is optional. The source video is not. Write the change in plain language plus a style keyword — that is the Wan register — and put exclusions in the negative if you use one. Re-describing the whole scene hands the model a second identity to reconcile with the plate.

    If the plate is not a keeper, the optional still will not make it one. Five adjectives about "cinematic product lighting" on a take where the product is already cropped out is how you spend 18 credits to polish a miss. Go back to generate. Come here when one named thing is wrong.

    Audio is not listed as native on the record. Features mention preservation as a capability of the family, but the boolean audio is unset. If the original track must survive, say so in the job and verify the output. Do not assume a remix. Do not assume silence. Check.

    Retouch versus remake

    Happy Horse 1.0 Video Edit (the other retouch row in this week) caps at 15 seconds with up to five stills. This Wan row is 2–10s, one optional still, 18 credits, five listed aspects. They are not interchangeable. Pick Wan 2.7 Video Edit when the source already sits in that 2–10s window and the instruction is a delta. Pick a generate when the idea is still open.

    Wan 2.7 Image to Video is also not this. That row animates a still. This row modifies a clip. Mixing the two is how a product turn becomes a restyle of a clip you did not mean to keep.

    FAQ

    What durations does Wan 2.7 Video Edit actually list?

    2s through 10s, every second. The short examples in the title (2s, 3s, 4s) are inside that list, not a separate SKU. Match the source length. Do not prompt a 30-second rewrite.

    Do I need a reference image?

    No. requires_image is false. The description calls the still optional, for character, clothing, or style. Bring one when the edit has to match an approved look. Skip it when the change is a simple object or colour instruction.

    Is this cheaper than generating again?

    18 credits is this row's catalog figure. A new generate is a different row with a different identity. Cost is not the test. The test is whether the current take is already the idea. If it is not, editing it is how you pay twice.

    Does the catalog list native audio on this edit?

    No. audio is unset. Verify the soundtrack on the output. If you need a guaranteed mouth pass or a new mix, that is not this SKU's listed job.
