Launching Wan Animate

This week I hit a milestone I’m really proud of — I officially launched Wan Animate, an AI-powered tool that turns static images or videos into fluid character animations.

The journey wasn’t easy. I had to learn how to balance ease of use with professional results, and there were plenty of technical challenges (like making sure characters stayed consistent across different motions). But seeing the first smooth animation come to life felt like a real breakthrough.|

What I learned along the way:

• Start simple: focusing on just two core features (image-to-motion and video recasting) made the product more reliable.
• Talk to users early: feedback from creators and marketers helped me refine the workflow.
• Small wins matter: each working prototype built my confidence to push forward.

I’m excited about the future of Wan Animate and how it might help creators save time and explore new storytelling possibilities.

👉 What about you? Have you ever had a “small project” suddenly feel like a big win? I’d love to hear your stories.
