Magic Animate

What is Magic Animate?

Magic Animate is a groundbreaking open-source project that simplifies animation creation, allowing you to produce animated videos from a single image and motion video. This website is designed to aggregate relevant content for easy learning and practical use. It’s a diffusion-based framework for human image animation, excelling in maintaining temporal consistency, faithfully preserving the reference image, and significantly enhancing animation fidelity. It can animate reference images with motion sequences from various sources, including cross-ID animations and unseen domains like oil paintings and movie characters. It also integrates seamlessly with T2I diffusion models like DALLE3, bringing text-prompted images to life with dynamic actions.

How to use Magic Animate?

To use MagicAnimate, download the pretrained base models for StableDiffusion V1.5 and MSE-finetuned VAE. Then, download the MagicAnimate checkpoints. Ensure you have the necessary installation prerequisites: python>=3.8, CUDA>=11.3, and ffmpeg. Install with conda using the provided environment.yml file. You can also try the online demo on Hugging Face or Replicate, or use it on Colab.
