> These are the facts of the way Studio offers this model by default. Studio can also offer it with fewer ways of working or other limits; when it does, the model's page in Studio shows exactly what it takes — and the price, before you press.

The price is never written here — prices change. It is on the model's page in Studio: on the **Make** button and beside each length, size or quality that changes it, before you press.

## Writing for it

Everything on [Wan 3's page](https://routix.studio/help/video-models/wan-3) holds here: shots written one after another with their times, references named by their number (Image 1, Video 1, Audio 1), and in **Edit**, only what you name changes.
