WanAnimate 2.2 exact inpainting struggles: mask expansion wrecks faces, dev seeks fix
Reasonable-Aide1259 · reddit · 2026-09-23
A dev uses WanAnimate 2.2 to swap only clothing in videos, but the required mask expansion/blockification bleeds onto neck and face, producing ugly artifacts. Their workaround: build a clean facial mask via set difference against the expanded mask, preserving features — though residual noise masks still alter areas near the face. A second issue: WanAnimate repaints the background too, causing per-chunk color drift. Passing custom masks via the noisemask key in a custom node gives weird results, and they're offering money for a proper exact-inpainting method.
