The Wan2.2-Animate card advises against using LoRAs trained on Wan2.2 with Wan-Animate, yet character consistency often relies on LoRAs. What alternatives (reference-image conditioning, VACE reference-to-video, Animate fine-tuning) achieve stable character identity under motion transfer?

Why this is still open: The card states the limitation but offers no tested alternative.
