Features
WAN 2.1 Synthetic-To-Real Ditto — Video-to-Video Model
WAN 2.1 Synthetic-To-Real Ditto converts stylized or synthetic videos (3D, anime, game footage, VTuber-style avatars, etc.) into realistic, live-action–like footage. It mirrors the original motion and facial expressions while replacing the look with a more natural, photographic style. The model is exposed through a ready-to-use REST inference API with fast warm-starts and affordable pricing.
What it does
- Takes a source video with a synthetic or stylized character.
- Tracks body motion, facial expressions, and timing.
- Generates a new realistic human version of the same performance.
- Preserves framing and pacing so you can swap footage without re-editing your timeline.
This makes it ideal for:
- Upgrading animated storyboards into realistic previews
- Turning VTuber or game-style performances into semi-realistic actors
- Rapid prototyping of live-action shots from synthetic previz
Key Capabilities
- High-fidelity motion mirroring Copies head turns, eye blinks, lip movements, and body motion from the input clip with tight temporal alignment.
- Synthetic-to-real translation Transforms toon, 3D, or heavily stylized characters into natural-looking humans while keeping their core identity and staging.
- Consistent lighting and shading Adapts the original scene’s lighting so the new actor feels anchored in the same environment.
- Resolution flexibility Supports both 480p and 720p output for different production needs.
Inputs and Controls

video (required) Upload or paste the URL of the source video.
-
resolution
- 480p
- 720p
Pricing
| Resolution | Price per second | Min billed seconds | Min total price | Max billed seconds | Max total price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 480p | $0.04 | 5 s | $0.20 | 120 s | $4.80 |
| 720p | $0.08 | 5 s | $0.40 | 120 s | $9.60 |
How to Use
- Upload your synthetic or stylized video in the video field. (up to 120s)
- Select the desired resolution (480p or 720p).
- Make sure Enable Safety Checker is checked.
- Click Run.
- After processing, preview the real-style output in the right panel and download it for editing or further post-production.
Tips for Best Results
- Use clips with clear, front-facing characters and stable framing to get the best facial detail.
- Avoid heavy motion blur or rapid strobing; clean animation yields more faithful translations.
- Keep clips short when iterating (around 3–5 seconds) to explore different looks quickly and control costs.
- Once you find a look you like, batch-convert key shots from your project to build a consistent, realistic version of your synthetic footage.
