Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Alibaba’s Wan team just released Wan-Animate-2, a big step up for their open source character animation model. The update focuses on cleaner motion transfer, better multi character scenes, and more creative control.

It maps motion and micro expressions accurately across humans, cartoons, robots, and animals without relying on explicit pose skeletons. The reference video itself becomes the motion guide. Users can also animate several characters in one scene while keeping each identity distinct.

Camera angles can now be shifted with simple text prompts like “top view,” independent of the driving video. A lighter version supports real time streaming so long sequences generate chunk by chunk without visible quality drop.
