Wan Animate Replace is Rivya's URL-based character-replacement option for existing clips whose motion should stay intact. Paste the public source video URL, paste the replacement image URL, choose `480p`, `580p`, or `720p`, and use it when the job is subject replacement rather than a brand-new prompt-led video generation.

FAQ
Wan Animate Replace FAQ
What kind of video work is Wan Animate Replace actually the best fit for?
Wan Animate Replace is best when the clip's motion is already correct and only the visible subject needs to change. It works well for fast character-swap tests, public-URL replacement projects, and other fixed-structure swaps where the job is subject replacement, not prompt-led restyling.
What is Wan Animate Replace's real scope on Rivya right now?
On Rivya, this option is built around one public source video URL, one public replacement image URL, and a resolution tier. There is no prompt and no style-control layer here. It is a URL-based subject-replacement step designed to preserve the original motion.
What matters most when you are deciding whether Wan Animate Replace is the right tool?
The first question is whether the original motion should stay intact. If yes, then the next checks are whether both URLs are public and fetchable, whether the replacement image is the right identity anchor, and whether `480p`, `580p`, or `720p` is the right tradeoff for the run.
When is Wan Animate Replace worth its current credit tier?
This page lists explicit resolution tiers: `480p` at 12 credits, `580p` at 16, and `720p` at 20. That is easy to justify when a subject swap is all you need, because it avoids paying for a full rerender just to change who appears in the shot.
When should I choose Wan Animate Replace over prompt-led generation or broader video editing?
Choose Wan Animate Replace when the source clip already has the right motion and framing, and only the visible subject should change. Go back to prompt-led generation when the whole shot needs to be reimagined, or use a broader editing project when more than a subject swap is on the table.
What can I test first on this page?
Start here when the first result is simply about seeing whether one existing shot can take a clean subject swap. Use it for URL-based character replacement tests where the motion is already good and the only question is whether the replacement holds.
What can I set up on this page?
This page supports one public source video URL, one public replacement image URL, and one resolution setting. There is no prompt and no broader style project here. The job is to preserve the motion and swap the visible subject.
Which checks are worth making before I hit run?
Make sure both URLs are public, point to the exact source and replacement assets you want, and then pick the lowest resolution tier that answers the question. For many first results, `480p` is enough to validate whether the replacement is working before you spend more on higher output tiers.
Do I need to sign in before I run here, and how do credits work?
The page is public, but the actual replacement run is still gated behind sign in. This page currently lists `480p` for 12 credits, `580p` for 16, and `720p` for 20, so you can verify the URLs and pick the right resolution first, then sign in when you are ready to run it.
When should I stay on this page, and when should I move into the full Studio?
Stay on this page while you are checking one subject-swap run on one source clip. Open the full Studio once the work starts involving multiple versions, multiple assets, or a broader managed project around the same footage.
