😮 Highlights
MagicTime shows excellent performance in metamorphic video generation.
Metamorphic Videos vs. General Videos
Compared to general videos, metamorphic videos contain physical knowledge, long persistence, and strong variation, making them difficult to generate. We show compressed .gif on github, which loses some quality. The general videos are generated by the Animatediff and MagicTime.

Integrate into DiT-based Architecture
The mission of this project is to help reproduce Sora and provide high-quality video-text data and data annotation pipelines, to support Open-Sora-Plan or other DiT-based T2V models. To this end, we take an initial step to integrate our MagicTime scheme into the DiT-based Framework. Specifically, our method supports the Open-Sora-Plan v1.0.0 for fine-tuning. We first scale up with additional metamorphic landscape time-lapse videos in the same annotation framework to get the ChronoMagic-Landscape dataset. Then, we fine-tune the Open-Sora-Plan v1.0.0 with the ChronoMagic-Landscape dataset to get the MagicTime-DiT model. The results are as follows (257×512×512 (10s)):

🤗 Demo
Gradio Web UI
Highly recommend trying out our web demo by the following command, which incorporates all features currently supported by MagicTime. We also provide online demo in Huggingface Spaces.
python app.py
⚙️ Requirements and Installation
We recommend the requirements as follows.
git clone https://github.com/PKU-YuanGroup/MagicTime.git
cd MagicTime
conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate magictime
🗝️ Training & Inference
The training code is coming soon! For inference, some example are shown below:
# For [Realistic](https://civitai.com/models/4201/realistic-vision-v20)
python inference_magictime.py --config sample_configs/RealisticVision.yaml
# For [ToonYou](https://civitai.com/models/30240/toonyou)
python inference_magictime.py --config sample_configs/ToonYou.yaml
# For [RcnzCartoon](https://civitai.com/models/66347/rcnz-cartoon-3d)
python inference_magictime.py --config sample_configs/RcnzCartoon.yaml
# or you can directly run the .sh
sh inference.sh
🐳 ChronoMagic Dataset
ChronoMagic with 2265 metamorphic time-lapse videos, each accompanied by a detailed caption. We released the subset of ChronoMagic used to train MagicTime. The dataset can be downloaded at Google Drive. Some samples can be found on our Project Page.
👍 Acknowledgement
Animatediff The codebase we built upon and it is a strong U-Net-based text-to-video generation model.
Open-Sora-Plan The codebase we built upon and it is a simple and scalable DiT-based text-to-video generation repo, to reproduce Sora.
