ICLR 2024 (spotlight) · Guo, Y., Yang, C., Rao, A., Liang, Z., Wang, Y., Qiao, Y., Agrawala, M., Lin, D., Dai, B. · Jan 2024

Key points

  1. Plug in motion module animates any personalised Stable Diffusion model without retraining.
  2. Separates appearance from motion, enabling character consistent generated animation.
  3. Foundation for thousands of node based animation workflows used in teaching.

Summary

AnimateDiff, accepted as a spotlight at ICLR 2024, introduces a plug-in motion module that can animate any personalised Stable Diffusion model without requiring model-specific retraining. By separating appearance (handled by the base model) from motion (handled by the shared motion module), it enables character-consistent generated animation with a wide range of visual styles. The framework became the entry-point architecture for AI video in animation curricula and underpins thousands of node-based workflows used in teaching labs globally.
