✨ Features

Stable Video Diffusion (SVD) Image-to-Video takes in a still image as a conditioning frame and generates a video from it. It's a latent diffusion model trained to generate short video clips from an image conditioning, finetuned from SVD Image-to-Video [14 frames].

Model Details

Model Description

(SVD) Image-to-Video is a latent diffusion model trained to generate short video clips from an image conditioning. This model was trained to generate 25 frames at resolution 576x1024 given a context frame of the same size, finetuned from SVD Image-to-Video [14 frames]. We also finetune the widely used f8-decoder for temporal consistency. For convenience, we additionally provide the model with the standard frame-wise decoder here.

Uses

Direct Use

The model is intended for research purposes only. Possible research areas and tasks include:

• Research on generative models.
• Safe deployment of models which have the potential to generate harmful content.
• Probing and understanding the limitations and biases of generative models.
• Generation of artworks and use in design and other artistic processes.
• Applications in educational or creative tools.

Excluded uses are described below.

Out-of-Scope Use

The model was not trained to be factual or true representations of people or events, and therefore using the model to generate such content is out-of-scope for the abilities of this model. The model should not be used in any way that violates Stability AI's Acceptable Use Policy.

Limitations and Bias

Limitations

• The generated videos are rather short (<= 4sec), and the model does not achieve perfect photorealism.
• The model may generate videos without motion, or very slow camera pans.
• The model cannot be controlled through text.
• The model cannot render legible text.
• Faces and people in general may not be generated properly.
• The autoencoding part of the model is lossy.

Recommendations

The model is intended for research purposes only.
