Hi HN, I built Wan-Animate because I wanted an easier way to animate characters without learning complex tools. With it, you can take a static character (drawing, photo, or 3D render) and bring it to life by transferring motion and expressions from a reference video.

Right now it:

Handles character animation + replacement

Outputs up to 120s of video (480p or 720p)

Supports natural gestures, facial expressions, and smooth motion

It’s still early, and I’d love to hear your thoughts, especially on what features you’d find most useful.
