Input Requirements

To leverage this action, you'll need to provide the following parameters:

  • animationPrompts: A string containing the prompts for each animation, separated by '|'.
  • animations: A sequence of animation actions, also separated by '|'.
  • promptDurations: The duration for each animation prompt in seconds, separated by '|'.
  • Optional parameters: You can also specify seed, steps, width, height, scheduler, maximumFrames, and framesPerSecond to customize your video further.

Expected Output

The output will be a URL link to the generated video, allowing you to easily access and share your creation.

Use Cases for this specific action

This action is ideal for:

  • Creative Professionals: Artists can visualize complex concepts or narratives through animated videos.

  • Educators: Develop animated lessons or presentations that enhance learning experiences.
  • Content Creators: Streamline the process of producing unique video content for platforms like YouTube or social media.

To illustrate, here’s an example input:

{
  "seed": 17,
  "steps": 80,
  "width": 640,
  "height": 640,
  "scheduler": "euler_ancestral",
  "animations": "live | right | right | right | live",
  "maximumFrames": 72,
  "framesPerSecond": 24,
  "promptDurations": "0.6 | 0.3 | 1 | 0.3 | 0.8",
  "animationPrompts": "winter forest, snowflakes, Van Gogh style | spring forest, flowers, sun rays, Van Gogh style | summer forest, lake, reflections on the water, summer sun, Van Gogh style | autumn forest, rain, Van Gogh style | winter forest, snowflakes, Van Gogh style"
}
