Create character animations from any video
Video to video AI transforms any video into an animated character or swaps the person in your footage. Upload your video and choose a character—the AI transfers movements and expressions onto that character. Turn yourself into cartoon mascots, 3D avatars, clay characters, or hand-drawn personas. Or replace the person with a stylized character while keeping backgrounds, lighting, and everything else intact.
The AI captures every detail—head tilts, hand gestures, facial expressions. Content creators can make eye-catching social media videos. Marketers can test different brand characters in existing footage without expensive reshoots. Generate your video, then polish it in our AI video editor with subtitles, effects, and more.
How to use video to video AI:
Step 01
Choose your video to video mode
Select Animate Move to animate a character image with your video's movements, or Animate Replace to swap the person in your footage with a different character.
Step 02
Upload your video and add your character
Upload your source video (2-30 seconds works best). Then add a character image—either upload your own or choose from VEED's character presets. For best results, match your character's posture and camera angle to your video.
Step 03
Generate and download video
The AI transfers movements and expressions—head tilts, hand gestures, facial expressions—onto your character. Preview your animation, then download it in high quality. Move it into VEED's editor to combine clips, add text overlays, and more.

FAQ
Video to video AI is a technology that enhances or transforms existing video footage. It can restyle videos into animations, swap characters in videos, or transfer actions to a reference image. VEED's video to video tool offers both style transfer and character replacement options.
VEED offers two main AI models:
- Animate Move transfers movements and expressions from your video onto a character image, creating realistic animations.
- Animate Replace swaps the person in your footage with a character based on your reference image.
- Both models are built on Wan v2.2 technology for high-quality results.
Use videos that are 2-30 seconds long with clear footage of movements and expressions you want to transfer. Follow these tips:
- Record on clean backgrounds without clutter.
- Stick to 2/3 body shots (avoid full-body).
- For best results with Animate Move, the character image should match the video's posture and camera angle. Match portrait videos with portrait character images, or torso videos with torso character images.
- If you already have footage: Generate a matching character using a text-to-image AI generator. Describe your reference video's composition—like "front-facing portrait, shoulders visible, looking at camera."
- If you're planning your shoot: Record front-facing with 2/3 body shots. Match your character reference image to this standard composition, keeping the same camera angle, posture, and framing.
- Social media & marketing: Turn yourself into cartoon characters or animate brand mascots for campaigns
- Education & demos: Create illustrated personas for tutorials or product demonstrations
- Character replacement: Swap people in existing footage with stylized characters
Video-to-video models on VEED work on a credit-based system. Paid plans include monthly credits, with each AI model requiring different credit amounts per generation. You’ll see the credit cost before generating a video, so you can manage your credits effectively.
