About Wan Animate

Wan Animate is a unified approach for character animation and character replacement. Given one character image and a reference video, it can animate the character by following motion and expressions from the video. It can also replace the person in the video with the animated character while matching lighting and color tone for consistent integration.

Design Highlights

• Input separation: clear distinction between guidance inputs and regions to generate.
• Skeleton motion: spatially aligned pose signals drive body movement.
• Facial reenactment: expressions follow the video while identity is preserved from the image.
• Relighting LoRA: applies scene lighting and color tone for character replacement.

Modes

Move Mode: animate the character image using motion from the reference video.

Mix Mode: replace the person in the reference video with the animated character.
