Wan Animate Move
Use the driving video as a motion reference for the character in your image. It works well for dance clips, gestures, talking-head movement, and stylized character performances.

Four workflows for different kinds of character edits
Each workflow uses a video and an image, but changes a different part of the result. Start with face swap if keeping the original body movement is your priority.

Wan Animate Replace
Use the image as the new character reference inside the driving video. Choose it when the source timing and scene work, but the on-screen person needs to change.
Face swap
Change only the face while retaining the original body, clothing and scene. Clear, visible faces are important; exact identity matching is not guaranteed.
Kling O3 video editing
Edit the performer or appearance using a prompt and reference image. Suitable for stylized edits; generated movement may differ from the source. Requires a 3–10-second video.

Wan Animate 2 is pushing driving-video animation forward
The newest Wan animation discussions center on end-to-end character animation, identity preservation, text-driven viewpoint control, and real-time character animation. Wan2.2-Animate-2-14B, Hugging Face, ComfyUI workflows, tutorials, and local deployment now appear together across current searches and discussions.
For creators, the practical idea stays simple: provide a strong character reference, use a clean driving video, and judge motion, identity, framing, and temporal consistency as separate quality signals.

Upload a driving video
Choose a clear MP4 up to 30 seconds and 10MB. Keep the performer visible and avoid abrupt cuts for more consistent motion.
Add a character image
Use a sharp PNG, JPG, or WebP with a readable face, body shape, and outfit. Match the source framing when possible.
Choose your goal and review the quote
Choose a mode, follow its input limits and review the credit quote. Resolution is selectable only for Wan Animate; video editing also requires a short prompt.
Wan 2.2 Animate FAQ
Which model runs in this Wan Animate tool?+
Move and Replace use Wan 2.2 Animate. Face swap uses a dedicated face-swap model. Video character editing uses Kling O3 Standard. Each mode shows its own input limits and credit quote.
What is a driving video?+
A driving video is the motion reference. Its body movement, timing, gestures, and camera framing guide the generated character animation.
What is the difference between Move and Replace?+
Move transfers motion from the driving video to the character image. Replace uses the character image to replace the person in the source video.
What files and resolutions are supported?+
All modes accept one MP4 and one PNG, JPG or WebP, each up to 10MB. Wan Animate and face swap allow up to 30 seconds. Video editing requires 3–10 seconds with both dimensions 700–3840px. Only Wan Animate offers 480p or 720p; other modes set output size automatically.
How are credits calculated?+
Credits depend on the selected mode and verified video duration, with a 3-second minimum. Wan Animate also considers the chosen resolution. The quote appears before submission. Failed jobs return the charged credits; visual quality is evaluated separately.
Do I need ComfyUI or a local GPU?+
No. This is a hosted browser workflow, so you can upload inputs and run the animation without installing a local ComfyUI workflow.
