WaveSpeedAI Wan 2.2 Animate

Animate characters from images using driving videos via WaveSpeed AI's Wan 2.2 Animate model. Two modes: animate (make the image character move like the video subject) and replace (swap the video subject with the image character while preserving motion and scene).

Quick Start

Animate Mode

Make the character in an image move like the subject in a driving video:

import wavespeed from 'wavespeed';

// Upload local image and video
const imageUrl = await wavespeed.upload("/path/to/character.png");
const videoUrl = await wavespeed.upload("/path/to/driving-video.mp4");

const output_url = (await wavespeed.run(
  "wavespeed-ai/wan-2.2/animate",
  {
    image: imageUrl,
    video: videoUrl
  }
))["outputs"][0];

Replace Mode

Swap the subject in a video with a character from an image:

const output_url = (await wavespeed.run(
  "wavespeed-ai/wan-2.2/animate",
  {
    image: imageUrl,
    video: videoUrl,
    mode: "replace"
  }
))["outputs"][0];

You can also pass existing URLs directly:

const output_url = (await wavespeed.run(
  "wavespeed-ai/wan-2.2/animate",
  {
    image: "https://example.com/character.png",
    video: "https://example.com/driving-video.mp4"
  }
))["outputs"][0];
