Wan Animate output

Actual Wan Animate generation using the image and motion reference shown here. animate · 480P · output 4.875s · 832 × 480.

Required inputs

image: URL of the character image
video: URL of the motion reference video (30 seconds or shorter)
mode: animate for motion transfer, replace for character replacement
resolution: 480P · 720P

Output

An MP4 at 480P or 720P whose duration follows the reference video. The API returns a job first, then a video_url when it completes.

Request and result

First POST the same image, video, mode and resolution to /v1/videos/generations/quote with a UUID x-request-id. Check the maximum charge, then submit to /v1/videos/generations with the same ID and x-modelrush-video-edit-quote token.Read poll_url from the HTTP 202 response and GET it with the same API key until status is completed or failed.On completed, use video_url. A failed job returns error details.

API example

Example URLs are placeholders. Set your own accessible media URLs and maximumAuthorizedCents budget. The quote is free and does not generate; the second POST authorizes a paid task.

Moving from Wan 2.2 Animate Mix or Move?

Map your old workflow to this model's image, video and animate/replace fields before sending it. The old request body is not interchangeable. For direct video editing, check the Wan 2.7 VideoEdit contract separately.
