# DynamiCrafter (320x512) (text-)Image-to-Video/Image Animation Model Card
![row01](DynamiCrafter-512.webp)

<!-- Provide a quick summary of what the model is/does. -->

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

## Model Details

### Model Description

<!-- Provide a longer summary of what this model is. -->

DynamiCrafter, a (Text-)Image-to-Video/Image Animation approach, aims to generate <br>
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 <br>
given a context frame of the same resolution.

## Uses

<!-- Address questions around how the model is intended to be used, including the foreseeable users of the model and those affected by the model. -->

### Direct Use

<!-- This section is for the model use without fine-tuning or plugging into a larger ecosystem/app. -->

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



## Limitations

<!-- This section is meant to convey both technical and sociotechnical 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.
