FAQs

• What are the system requirements for running AnimateDiff?

  AnimateDiff requires an Nvidia GPU, ideally with at least 8GB VRAM (10+ GB for video-to-video), a powerful GPU like an RTX 3060 or better, Windows or Linux (macOS via Docker), 16GB system RAM, and at least 1TB of storage. It's compatible with AUTOMATIC1111 or Google Colab and Stable Diffusion v1.5 models.
  How to Install the AnimateDiff extension?

  Start the AUTOMATIC1111 Web UI. Go to Extensions, click "Install from URL," and enter the GitHub URL: https://github.com/continue-revolution/sd-webui-animatediff. After installation, restart the Web UI. Download and place motion modules as per the documentation, and restart again.
  What are some current limitations of AnimateDiff?

  Limitations include a constrained motion range based on training data, potentially generic movements, occasional visual artifacts, compatibility limited to Stable Diffusion v1.5, dependence on training data quality, the need for hyperparameter tuning, and challenges in maintaining motion coherence in longer videos.
  How can I use AnimateDiff for free?

  You can use AnimateDiff for free on the animatediff.org website without needing your own computing resources. Simply enter a text prompt, and the site will generate a short animated GIF.
  What are advanced options about AnimateDiff?

  Advanced options include Close loop(Makes the first and last frames identical), Reverse frames (Doubles the video length), Frame interpolation (Increases frame rate), Context batch size (Controls temporal consistency between frames), Motion LoRA(Adds camera motion effects), ControlNet (Directs motion based on a reference video's motions), Image-to-image (Allows defining start and end frames), FPS (Frames per second control), Number of frames (Determines the total length), Motion modules (Different modules produce different motion effects)
