Wan 2.2 Animate: Replacement for a Person in a Clip

Wan 2.2 Animate is the character model AI Remake uses when you want a different person in a clip you already have. You bring one photograph and one video. Hair, jewelry, and clothes come from the photograph. The walk, the camera path, and the room stay with the footage.

What the published model takes in

Alibaba's announcement describes Wan2.2-Animate as a digital-human video model that can exchange the person on screen. The Wan-Video project publishes the checkpoint Wan2.2-Animate-14B for that work, and it lists the weights on Hugging Face and ModelScope as well as GitHub. The models in that repository sit under the Apache 2.0 license.

The project describes a pair of inputs: a video, plus a character image. For this edit, Alibaba's write-up says the person already in the video is exchanged for the person in the source image, expressions and movement are kept, and the original light and color are copied so the new person belongs in the shot. AI Remake follows that path and returns one file.

Notes that come with replacement

The project's preprocessing notes leave pose retargeting off for this edit on purpose, because the person may be touching the set, a chair, or another object. A large gap in proportions, the notes warn, can bend the result or leave artifacts.

The mask step in those notes is written for footage of one person. Several people in the frame can throw off the pose track. That lines up with how AI Remake behaves in practice: one main subject is the case it is built for.

Those details describe the open model. They are not extra controls on this site.

What you get back from AI Remake

The finished picture is 720p. That is this product's delivery setting, not a limit printed on every way the open weights can be run. Duration follows the upload. The longest clip accepted is one minute, and a longer file is refused before any credits move.

The uploader takes MP4 files, MOV files, and WebM files. Anything heavier than 100 MB is refused. Speech and music from the upload are placed back on the rendered file so the timing matches.

The still should show one person, looking toward the camera, with light that reaches the face. A waist-up photograph against a waist-up clip usually holds together more easily than a tiny full-body snapshot against a tight close-up.

How the seconds are billed

Each second bills 40 credits. Anything shorter than five seconds is charged as five. Ten seconds therefore comes to 400 credits. The figure next to AI Remake follows the length of the file you selected. A run that does not finish puts the credits back on its own.

Packs are a single purchase: 260 credits at $9.90, 520 at $17.90, and 1,300 at $39.90. The balance can be used across 365 days. Nothing renews by itself. The pricing notes put a half-minute remake at roughly eight minutes of waiting, so a short clip is the comfortable first test.

When a face swap is the closer job

AI Remake paints the entire person from the still. A face swap only carries the face, and the hair and outfit remain whatever the clip already had. When that narrower change is what you want, use the video face swap. A full-head swap is 26 credits. Face-only, which leaves the clip's hair and the head's outline in place, is priced from 40 credits and rises after the clip passes eight seconds. A still can be swapped once a day on the same network with no account, from the photo face swap.

Crowds, whip pans, and several speaking faces make replacement less steady. One person, moderate movement, and a sharp still are the combination that matches the tool.

Run one on a clip you already have

Open AI Remake, sign in, and add the footage plus the still. Read the credit line for that length, then start. When the preview plays, listen for the original soundtrack and look at whether the hair and accessories follow the photograph. If they do, download the file. If the bodies fight each other, pick a still whose framing is closer to the person in the clip and run it again.
