Overview
This is an official ComfyUI workflow template for Wan Animate 2, an open character animation model from the Wan team at Alibaba. You give it a picture of a character, a video of someone moving and a short text prompt, and it makes a new video of your character doing the same moves, with a background drawn from the prompt. No pose or skeleton step is needed. The model files take about 24 GB. It suits creators who animate characters and can run large models on their own graphics card.
It reads motion straight from the video frames, so you skip the pose-extraction step the earlier Wan 2.2 Animate needed.

How it works
From the creator's documentation.
| Step | What happens | Data goes to |
|---|---|---|
| 1 · Model files | Download the model files listed in the template, about 24 GB in all | Your computer |
| 2 · Picture and video | You load the character picture and the video whose motion it should copy | Your computer |
| 3 · Prompts | One prompt describes the character's looks and background, another the motion | Your computer |
| 4 · Animate | Wan Animate 2 makes 81 frames, about 3.4 seconds, on your graphics card | Your computer |
| 5 · Save and compare | ComfyUI saves the clip and shows it side by side with the source video | Your computer |
Good to know
Animate a still character with motion taken from a driving video, using the official Wan Animate 2 graph. You describe the character's looks and the background in one prompt and the motion in another, and the template saves the new clip with a side-by-side comparison.
Limits
- Each pass makes 81 frames, about 3.4 seconds; longer videos need copies of the motion step chained by hand, as the template note explains.
- The template note says mismatched framing, such as a close-up picture with a full-body video, is the most common cause of poor results.
