Wan Animate
PaidAI Video Character Replacement Made Simple
About Wan Animate
Wan Animate (also known as Wan 2.2 Animate) is a unified framework for AI character animation and replacement. It enables users to animate any character by precisely replicating facial expressions and movements from performer videos. Additionally, it can replace characters in existing videos, preserving their expressions, movements, and seamlessly integrating them with the original lighting and color tone. Built on cutting-edge Wan 2.2 technology, featuring a Mixture-of-Experts architecture, it offers advanced motion control and environmental integration to produce highly realistic and controllable animated videos.
How to Use
To use Wan Animate, users begin by providing a character image and a reference performer video. The platform supports various formats and automatically extracts motion and expression data. Next, the Wan 2.2's Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture processes spatially-aligned skeleton signals for body motion and implicit facial features for expressions. Finally, the system generates and exports high-fidelity character videos with precise expression and movement replication. Users can choose between 'Photo Animate' to animate a photo character based on a video or 'Character Swap' to replace a video character with a photo character.
