Show HN: Wan-Animate – Unified Character Animation and Replacement

Hi HN,I’ve been working on Wan-Animate, a tool that brings static characters to life through motion transfer and holistic replication.Key features include:Animate static characters by transferring movements and expressions from a reference videoSeamless character replacement with consistent gestures, expressions, and styleVideo generation up to 120 seconds in 480p or 720pAccurate lip–audio alignment and realistic expression transferMultimodal instruction control using video, image, and text promptsThe goal is to make character animation feel natural and adaptable across open scenarios, not just limited templates.I’d love feedback from the HN community on:Features you’d like in an AI-powered animation toolUse cases where motion transfer could be most impactful (games, avatars, education, etc.)Thoughts on scalability, ethics, and creative applicationsThanks for reading — looking forward to your thoughts!
