In this video, I break down WAN Animate, the open-source character animation & character replacement model that (in my tests) outperforms other tools. I’ll show real examples, my best settings, when to use Character Replacement vs Photo Animate, and two workflows: no-install on Enhancor and local/Cloud (ComfyUI).
