AI Video Creation
AI Animate & Replace: Swap Video Content with an Image
The VdoBloom Animate & Replace tool is an AI video generator that replaces the subject or content in an existing video with a person or character from an image you upload. Provide a source video and a reference image, and the AI re-renders the clip so the new subject performs the original footage's motion — producing a seamless animated video.
The tool is powered by the Wan 2.2 Animate Replace model available on the VdoBloom platform. It is ideal for re-casting footage without reshooting — putting a new character into an existing performance, swapping the presenter in recorded material, or reusing one good take across different subjects.

Frequently asked questions
What does animate and replace mean in AI video?
It means taking an existing video and substituting its subject with one from a still image. The AI maps the motion of the original footage onto the person or character in your uploaded image, so the output is the same scene and movement performed by a new subject.
What inputs does the tool need?
Two files: a source video (MP4) that provides the motion and scene, and an image that provides the replacement subject. You then pick an output resolution — 480p, 580p, or 720p — and generate. No text prompt is required.
What model powers the replacement on VdoBloom?
VdoBloom's animate-and-replace workflow runs on the Wan 2.2 Animate Replace model, a video-to-video approach built for replacing video content with an uploaded image. You access it through the browser like every other VdoBloom tool — no local software needed.
How do I get clean results when replacing a subject?
Use a source video where the subject is clearly visible and well lit, and a replacement image that is sharp and front-facing. Footage with heavy motion blur or a frequently obscured subject gives the model less to track, so steadier clips and a clean reference image produce the most convincing swaps.
