## 🔆 Introduction

⚠️ Please check our [disclaimer](#disc) first.

🤗 ToonCrafter can interpolate two cartoon images by leveraging the pre-trained image-to-video diffusion priors. Please check our project page and paper for more information. <br>

## 🧰 Models

|Model|Resolution|GPU Mem. & Inference Time (A100, ddim 50steps)|Checkpoint|
|:---------|:---------|:--------|:--------|
|ToonCrafter_512|320x512| TBD (`perframe_ae=True`)|[Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/Doubiiu/ToonCrafter/blob/main/model.ckpt)|


Currently, our ToonCrafter can support generating videos of up to 16 frames with a resolution of 512x320. The inference time can be reduced by using fewer DDIM steps.



## ⚙️ Setup

### Install Environment via Anaconda (Recommended)
```bash
conda create -n tooncrafter python=3.8.5
conda activate tooncrafter
pip install -r requirements.txt
```


## 💫 Inference
### 1. Command line

Download pretrained ToonCrafter_512 and put the `model.ckpt` in `checkpoints/tooncrafter_512_interp_v1/model.ckpt`.
```bash
  sh scripts/run.sh
```


### 2. Local Gradio demo

Download the pretrained model and put it in the corresponding directory according to the previous guidelines.
```bash
  python gradio_app.py 
```

## 📢 Disclaimer
Calm down. Our framework opens up the era of generative cartoon interpolation, but due to the variaity of generative video prior, the success rate is not guaranteed.

⚠️This is an open-source research exploration, instead of commercial products. It can't meet all your expectations.

This project strives to impact the domain of AI-driven video generation positively. Users are granted the freedom to create videos using this tool, but they are expected to comply with local laws and utilize it responsibly.
