What is Wan 2.2 Animate?

Wan 2.2 Animate is a unified AI model for character animation and replacement that combines holistic movement and expression replication.

It features two modes:

  • Animation Mode: applies performer movements to static character images
  • Replacement Mode: replaces characters in existing videos while preserving lighting and environmental tone

As the first open-source solution handling body + face + environment together, it rivals proprietary systems in quality.

What's the difference between Animation and Replace modes?

Animation Mode: Animates the character in your input image with movements from the driving video, creating animated videos from static images.

Replace Mode: Replaces the character in the driving video with the character from your input image while maintaining the original scene's lighting and environmental context.

It extracts 2D skeleton for body motion, encodes facial features directly, and includes relighting capabilities for natural scene integration.

This comprehensive approach sets it apart from tools that only handle individual aspects.

What are the technical capabilities of Wan 2.2 Animate?

Wan 2.2 Animate precisely replicates performers' facial expressions and movements to generate highly realistic character videos.

Technical capabilities include:
