DynamiCrafter (320x512) (text-)Image-to-Video/Image Animation Model Card

DynamiCrafter (320x512) (Text-)Image-to-Video is a video diffusion model that
takes in a still image as a conditioning image and text prompt describing dynamics,
and generates videos from it.

Model Details

Model Description

DynamiCrafter, a (Text-)Image-to-Video/Image Animation approach, aims to generate
short video clips (~2 seconds) from a conditioning image and text prompt.

This model was trained to generate 16 video frames at a resolution of 320x512
given a context frame of the same resolution.

Uses

Direct Use

We develop this repository for RESEARCH purposes, so it can only be used for personal/research/non-commercial purposes.

Limitations

• The generated videos are relatively short (2 seconds, FPS=8).
• The model cannot render legible text.
• Faces and people in general may not be generated properly.
• The autoencoding part of the model is lossy, resulting in slight flickering artifacts.
