Stable Video Diffusion is now available for researchers and developers to deploy in their own applications, marking a significant leap forward for open source novel video synthesis. The system builds on the image synthesis capabilities of Stable Diffusion to generate high-quality, coherent videos from single still images. It can produce 14 or 25 frame videos that continue the scene or action depicted in the seed image, and its performance surpasses previous video AI models in qualitative evaluations. The model also offers fine-tuning capabilities on downstream data, making it suitable for various applications such as stock footage animation, personal photo generation, presentations, film previsualization, and more.
