Given two cartoon keyframes, the model generates plausible intermediate frames including content not visible in either keyframe, filling the gap generatively. The paper is open-sourced with public weights, making it directly deployable in teaching labs. It matches the scope contract's exemplar class of SIGGRAPH papers on neural in-betweening.}, keywords = {generative-ai, video-generation, character-animation, motion-synthesis, production-practice}, note = {AI \& Animation Education Knowledge Base} }
