Wan Animate is a cutting-edge AI framework for character animation and replacement. It accurately replicates facial expressions and movements from performer videos, enabling seamless character swaps while preserving original lighting and color tones. Built on Wan 2.2 technology with a Mixture-of-Experts architecture, it delivers highly realistic and controllable animations.
Wan Animate (Wan 2.2 Animate) is an advanced AI framework designed for character animation and replacement. It allows users to animate characters by accurately replicating facial expressions and movements from performer videos. The tool can also replace characters in existing videos while maintaining their expressions, movements, and seamlessly blending them with the original lighting and color tone. Built on the innovative Wan 2.2 technology, it utilizes a Mixture-of-Experts architecture for precise motion control and environmental integration, producing highly realistic and controllable animated content.
A.Wan Animate (also known as Wan 2.2 Animate) is a unified framework for character animation and replacement. It can animate characters by replicating expressions and movements from reference videos, or integrate animated characters into existing videos with seamless environmental integration.
A.Given a character image and reference video, Wan 2.2 Animate uses spatially-aligned skeleton signals for body motion control and implicit facial features for expression reenactment, generating high-fidelity character videos with precise replication.
A.Yes! Wan Animate can replace characters in videos while preserving their expressions and movements, and replicating the scene's lighting and color tone for seamless environmental integration using our Relighting LoRA.
A.Wan 2.2 Animate introduces Mixture-of-Experts architecture with 27B parameters, upgraded training data, high-compression video generation, and superior performance compared to leading commercial models. It uses carefully curated aesthetic data with detailed labels for lighting, composition, contrast, color tone, and more, enabling precise control over cinematic style.
A.Wan Animate is committed to open-sourcing both model weights and source code. The project supports both academic research and practical applications with appropriate licensing.
A.Unlike traditional animation software, Wan Animate uses AI to automatically replicate performer movements and expressions onto any character. It combines the precision of motion capture with the flexibility of AI generation, making professional-quality character animation accessible without extensive manual work or expensive equipment.
A.Wan Animate supports common image formats (JPG, PNG, WebP) for character input and various video formats for reference performers. Output videos can be generated in resolutions up to 720P at 24fps, with the system optimized for both short clips and longer sequences depending on hardware configuration.
