WAN 2.2 Animate AI Generator
Generated on PixelDojo with WAN 2.2 Animate. Produced by PixelDojo's generation pipeline.
WAN 2.2 Animate costs 2 credits for every second you request, so a 5 second run is 10 credits, and ours took about 7 minutes 17 seconds on August 26, 2026. It is built to drive a character image with the motion from a separate reference video. In our test the returned clip kept the character but did not carry over the reference video's own scene, which is worth knowing before you plan a shot around it. This page covers the price, the timing, what we actually got back, and how Animate differs from its sibling, Replace.

What the run showed
2 credits per second, rounded up
Same formula as its sibling Replace. We requested video_duration 5 and were charged 10 credits.
Two required inputs, no prompt field
video (the motion reference) and character_image are both required. There is nothing to type beyond those two URLs and a handful of numeric settings.
About 7 minutes 17 seconds, the slowest run in this comparison
Longer than the roughly 110 second Replace run against the same two inputs, and longer than any of the WAN i2v runs measured elsewhere in this batch.
The output followed the character image's own scene, not the reference video's
We fed it a cafe clip of a barista pouring latte art as the motion reference and a portrait of a fisherman on a dock as the character. The returned clip showed the fisherman continuing to mend his net on the dock, in his own portrait's setting, rather than pouring anything in a cafe. Test your own pairing before relying on this to relocate a character into a new scene.
The requested duration did not match the file
We asked for 5 seconds and measured about 9.96 seconds in the returned file, closer to double the request.
Output orientation followed the character image, not the source video
Our fisherman portrait was tall, and the returned clip came back 544 by 720, a portrait shape, even though the barista source video was landscape.
Why Choose Pixel Dojo for WAN 2.2 Animate
Professional-quality results with cutting-edge AI technology
2 credits per second, same math as Replace
Straightforward to budget: seconds requested, rounded up, times 2.
No prompt writing required
Just a video and a character_image. There is nothing to word for the motion itself.
How It Works
How we ran it, so you can repeat it:
Provide a motion reference video and a character image
We used an 8 second cafe clip as the video and a portrait as the character_image. No prompt field exists on this endpoint.
Set video_duration and resolution
We requested 5 seconds at 480p for 10 credits.
Check whose scene actually shows up
Ours returned the character in his own portrait's setting, not the reference video's cafe, after about 7 minutes 17 seconds.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about WAN 2.2 Animate
What does WAN 2.2 Animate cost?
2 credits per second of the video_duration you request, rounded up. A 5 second run is 10 credits.
How fast is WAN 2.2 Animate?
About 7 minutes 17 seconds in our August 26, 2026 run, the longest turnaround among the WAN models measured in this batch.
Does it place my character into the reference video's scene?
Not reliably, based on our test. We paired a cafe pouring clip with a dock portrait and got back the character in his own portrait scene rather than the cafe. If relocating a character into a specific new background is the goal, verify that combination on your own footage first, or consider WAN 2.2 Replace, which kept the source scene intact in our test.
How do I call it from the API?
POST to /api/v1/models/wan-2.2-animate/run with your API key, a video URL, a character_image URL, and video_duration. There is no prompt field.
How is this different from WAN 2.2 Replace?
Both take the same video plus character_image inputs at 2 credits per second. In our tests, Replace kept the source video's background, camera work, and action, only swapping the character in place. Animate instead followed the character image's own scene and ran nearly four times longer for the same inputs.
