Bringing Static Images to Life

AnimateDiff is an innovative AI video generation framework. Simply input text or images to seamlessly create stunning animations using the powerful Stable Diffusion model ecosystem, bringing your creativity to life.

Core Concept: Modular Animation

The magic of AnimateDiff lies in its clever architectural design, which completely separates "what to draw" (appearance) and "how to move" (motion), injecting vitality into static models through pre-trained motion modules.

Text-to-Video

Transform your text descriptions directly into vivid video clips. Simply provide scenes, characters, or concepts, and the system will generate animations that match your description.

Unlimited Creative Applications

From artistic creation to commercial applications, AnimateDiff is bringing new possibilities to various fields.

🎨 Art & Animation

Artists and animators can quickly transform sketches and concepts into animated prototypes, greatly saving manual production time and effort.

🎮 Game Development

Rapidly generate character actions and scene animations for game mechanics and interaction prototyping, accelerating development workflows.

🎬 Storyboarding & Concept Visualization

Transform abstract ideas and story scripts into dynamic visual previews, facilitating team communication and project rehearsal.

📈 Dynamic Graphics & Marketing

Create compelling dynamic graphics and short films for videos, advertisements, and presentations in a highly automated manner.

🎓 Education & Presentation

Transform complex concepts and educational content into engaging animated videos, enhancing learning experience and information delivery efficiency.

📱 Social Media Content

Generate novel and interesting animated posts and stories for social platforms with simple text descriptions, attracting more attention.

Powerful Toolkit for Unleashing Creativity

AnimateDiff provides a series of advanced features that transform you from a simple animator into a director with full control.

🎥

Director Camera Work (MotionLoRA)

Easily achieve professional camera movements like panning, zooming, and rotation through lightweight LoRA models.

🎭

Guided Motion (ControlNet)

Precisely transfer motion or composition from source videos, achieving highly controllable video-to-video style conversion.

📜

Dynamic Storytelling (Prompt Travel)

Change prompts at different nodes in the animation timeline, creating dynamic stories where content and style evolve smoothly over time.

🔁

Infinite Length (Sliding Window)

Break through native frame limitations through clever context overlap techniques, generating theoretically infinite-length animations.
