Social Hook Clip (First-Frame Stopping Power) Prompt for Wan
This is the Wan version of the social hook clip (first-frame stopping power) prompt: a vertical clip engineered around the first frame: already mid-action at frame one, payoff held at the end — built to stop a scrolling thumb. It is formatted the way Wan takes prompts best. Free — copy it, replace the bracketed parts, and paste it in.
The prompt
Push copies this prompt with a reference line naming your image, and downloads the image file — attach it in the model to complete the pair. This page stages the pair for you; it cannot upload into the model itself (sites cannot reach into each other), so the final attach happens there. The image is downscaled to at most 1024px and stored only in this browser, paired with this prompt. If browser storage is full, it is kept for this visit only.
The deliverable — and how to check it
Deliverable: one 6-second vertical 9:16 clip whose very first frame is already mid-action (no fade-in, no empty lead), ending on the payoff image held for the final full second. Acceptance check: scrub to frame one — if the action has not already started, the clip fails; the hook cannot be repaired in the edit.

Using this prompt with Wan
Wan (Alibaba) is the open-weights video anchor: the 2.2 line is Apache-2.0 and runs locally in ComfyUI/Diffusers; newer generations are API-only on Alibaba Cloud. Its prompt sweet spot is subject-first descriptive prose — roughly 15 to 60 words naming the subject, the one action, the environment and the camera. It supports a real negative prompt (carried in this version), and image-to-video animates a reference frame, so your keyframe becomes the literal first frame of the shot.
What this route costs — and how to pay less
Cost structure: open weights — the Wan 2.2 line runs on your own hardware, so the marginal cost per generation is zero; only the newer API-only generations are metered (per generation on Alibaba Cloud). The same prompt is pre-configured in this library for every major model, so you can run it on whichever route fits your budget — comparing the structures before you generate is a free way to save money.
Replace the bracketed placeholders — [HOOK ACTION], [SETTING], [PAYOFF IMAGE] — with your own details before pasting.
