Frequently Asked Questions about Wan Animate

Can I use Wan Animate to swap a character in an existing video with a different character image?

Yes. Wan Animate's character swap feature lets you replace the performer in a video with any character image you provide. The AI transfers the original performer's facial expressions and body movements to your chosen character while preserving the lighting and color of the scene.

What resolution options does Wan Animate output, and how many credits does each cost?

Wan Animate produces 480p video at 1 credit per second with a 5-credit minimum, or 720p video at 2 credits per second with a 10-credit minimum. The minimum credit purchase means even a short animation clip will consume at least 5 or 10 credits depending on which resolution you choose.

Does Wan Animate maintain the original lighting and colors of the character when animating it?

Yes. Wan Animate uses Relighting LoRA technology to preserve your character's appearance, including environmental lighting and color tones, during animation. This ensures the character integrates naturally into the scene without looking artificially composited.

Can I animate a character using movements from a video of a real person?

Yes. Wan Animate takes a reference video of a performer and automatically extracts their motion and expression data, then applies those movements to your character image. This lets you turn footage of yourself or another person into animation for any character you want.
