In the past, creating an AI dance video was a real headache. Users had to type long, detailed prompts, wait for the model to process them, and then hope the output would look natural. More often than not, the final result was disappointing: awkward character motions, jerky transitions, and a lack of consistency across frames. But those days are gone. With APOB’s ReVideo feature powered by Wan2.2 Animate, you can skip the prompt-writing struggle. All you need is a short dance video and a single image, and the person in your image will move exactly like the dancer in the video — smooth, coordinated, and completely natural. Curious about the magic behind Wan2.2 Animate? Let’s dive in.
How to Generate an AI Dance Video with Wan2.2 Animate
Thanks to APOB’s seamless integration of Wan2.2 Animate, you don’t need to wrestle with prompts or complex animation tools. Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating your first AI dance video:
Step 1: Get Started Log in to APOB’s platform and claim your 80 free daily credits. Head to the dashboard and click Create Portrait Model to build your AI model.

Step 3: Upload Your Media Upload a short Original dance video (less than 5 seconds) along with a Reference image. If you don’t upload a reference image, the system will use your AI model image by default.

What Can Wan2.2 Animate Do?
Wan2.2 Animate is a high-end model that can animate characters in a realistic manner. Two of its most astounding capabilities are:
1.Character Animation (Motion Transfer)
With Wan2.2 Animate, you have the ability to put a static character image in motion and emote like a real person. By placing a reference video with a static image, the model “drives” the character, causing it to mirror the actor’s gestures, expression, and dance steps in the video. Picture a digital avatar moving as smoothly as a live artist — that’s the magic of motion transfer.
2.Character Replacement (Role-Swap)
Another extremely helpful application of Wan2.2 Animate is role-swapping. You can swap out the actor in a video with another character or avatar and keep the original background, lighting, and camera pan of the source footage. It’s similar to replacing the main actor of a scene without interrupting the flow of the video. You can essentially swap out the character as well as the background by compositing over a reference video with a new image.
Pros and Cons of Wan2.2 Animate
Pros
- No need for prompts: Avoid the frustration of typing lengthy, elaborate prompts.
- Seamless motion transfer: Captures not only body movement but also subtle facial expressions.
- Convenience: Rigging, keyframing, and technical animation expertise are not needed.
- Freedom to innovate: Replace characters, experiment with various avatars, and develop entertaining, interactive content in minutes.
Cons
- Input quality matters: If your reference clip and character image differ greatly in pose, composition, or view, results may be less accurate.
- Relighting limitations: Although Wan2.2 Animate accommodates relighting, it is not always best. Shadows and reflections can sometimes look a little synthetic.
- Short video constraint: Up until this point, optimal results from short videos (under 5 seconds) can sometimes be limiting for productions longer than those.
