Unlock Cinematic Potential with Wan Animate
Wan Animate transforms static images and reference videos into lifelike animations with motion transfer, expression sync, and cinematic aesthetic control.
Unified, Reference-Driven Animation & Replacement
Use Wan Animate with one image and a reference video to turn a static character into an animated performance, then optionally replace the original subject in the clip. Inputs are clearly separated (reference vs. generated regions), keeping motion following and integration predictable for production.
- Animate static images with Wan Animate + reference video
- Clear separation of inputs for stable results
- Seamless character replacement
Motion & Camera Transfer from Reference Videos
In Wan Animate, Wan2.2 Animate extracts precise body movement and camera perspective from the reference, then applies them to your character for realistic AI animation. Complex turns, gestures, head tilts and dynamic shots are reproduced with temporal stability.
- Replicate gestures and full-body motion in Wan Animate
- Support for dynamic camera movements
- Stable temporal consistency
Expression & Gesture Fidelity
A dedicated expression engine in Wan Animate transfers smiles, frowns and nuanced gestures using implicit facial cues and skeleton alignment, so micro-movements stay synchronized with the body for lifelike image-to-animated-video results.
- High-fidelity expression transfer
- Facial micro-movements synchronized
- Gesture and body alignment
Scene-Matched Relighting & Seamless Integration
Relighting LoRA in Wan Animate adjusts lighting, shadows and color tone to match the environment, so character replacement looks native and consistent across cuts—ideal for compositing into real footage.

- Natural color tone matching
- Seamless compositing into scenes

- Customizable tones and contrast
- Consistent cinematic style
