Animate any character using a reference video. Wan Animate transfers pose, expression, and timing from real footage to your static image for lifelike motion.
Swap people in existing clips while preserving lighting, color tone, and scene composition—ideal for ads, promos, and creator remixes.
Replicates nuanced body mechanics and facial micro-expressions, delivering natural movement across multi-shot sequences and camera changes.
Dial in photoreal, cinematic, or anime-style looks via prompts and controls. Keep identity consistent across scenes with robust appearance retention.
Bring your own image + reference video and get an instant preview. Iteratively refine prompts, pacing, and framing without reshoots.
Fast GPU rendering with privacy-first handling of uploads. Great for agencies and teams that need speed, scale, and predictable delivery.
Why teams choose Wan Animate for AI video
"Wan Animate cut our turnaround from a week to a day. Character replacement looks clean even under tricky lighting—clients think we shot it on set."
"Motion transfer is the real deal. Subtle eye movement and weight shifts read naturally on screen, which sells the performance."
"We prototype concepts in hours, not days. Swapping talent in test cuts helps us validate ideas fast and pitch with confidence."
Learn everything about Wan Animate, the AI video generator for character animation and replacement
Wan Animate—also known as Wan 2.2 Animate—is an advanced AI video generator built for motion transfer, character animation, and realistic character replacement. It allows you to bring static characters, illustrations, or photos to life by transferring movement and expressions from real reference videos.
Most AI video generators focus on text-to-video or simple style filters. Wan Animate goes deeper: it uses motion-transfer technology to capture pose, timing, and physics-aware body dynamics, ensuring the generated character behaves like a real actor within the same lighting and scene environment.
Yes. You can upload stylized art, 2D character sheets, or anime frames, then guide motion using a live-action reference clip. Wan Animate adapts expressions and poses while maintaining the original art style—ideal for VTubers, animators, and content creators.
You need two things: a static image of the character you want to animate, and a short reference video that demonstrates the movement or action. The AI aligns both automatically, generating a high-fidelity animated result that mirrors the reference performance.
Absolutely. In 'replacement mode', Wan Animate replaces a person in a real video with your chosen character while preserving lighting, shadows, reflections, and environmental color tone—creating seamless composite results without traditional green-screen editing.
Wan Animate’s neural motion engine replicates fine-grained details such as eye blinks, breathing rhythm, and muscle tension. Movements feel grounded in physics, giving each generated video a cinematic sense of weight and realism rarely seen in AI-generated content.
Short clips (3–10 seconds) typically render within minutes using GPU acceleration. Longer or 4K sequences may take longer. Outputs are delivered in standard MP4 or WebM formats, ready for editing, social upload, or direct playback.
Yes. Many creators pair Wan Animate with text-to-speech or image-to-image models to build complete production pipelines. Combine it with diffusion models for background generation or voice synthesis for fully AI-driven animated storytelling.
Wan Animate includes watermarking, safety filters, and privacy-first data handling. You can use the generated videos commercially, provided all source materials (photos, footage, voices) are legally owned or licensed. Always follow platform and local regulations.
While highly advanced, Wan Animate may produce artifacts in extreme cases—such as overlapping limbs, fast occlusion, or inconsistent lighting. It also performs best when reference videos have stable framing and minimal motion blur. Continuous updates aim to improve robustness and generalization.
Yes. You can specify cinematic attributes such as camera direction, frame rate, color grading, and style (photorealistic, cinematic, anime). Prompts and presets help fine-tune output for storytelling, advertising, or creative experiments.
Through its identity encoder and consistency engine, Wan Animate preserves facial geometry, clothing texture, and color palette across shots. This ensures your character maintains a stable look throughout multi-scene videos.
All uploads are encrypted and processed in isolated cloud sessions. No image or video is reused for model training unless you opt-in. You can delete files anytime from your project workspace to ensure full data privacy.
Digital artists, video creators, marketers, game studios, and educators use Wan Animate to save time and budget on animation and compositing. It’s perfect for producing cinematic clips, virtual avatars, explainer videos, and branded content at scale.
You can access Wan Animate via Flux AI or other partnered platforms offering the Wan 2.2 Animate model. Tutorials, prompt guides, and sample projects are available to help you master motion transfer and character replacement quickly.
