In light of releases not truly being open, I appreciate how Meta is continuing to lead on open source.

Excited to try this out with my nieces (and dig into the code).

Excited for when the website gets the save/export transparent GIF option. My students will love doing this themselves to bring their drawings into Scratch !

[SPHSPHSPHSPH]

So rad. Definitly a gonna use this a ton with my middle schoolers and Scratch!

Why doesn’t the app work anymore for me

It says “Not available in your region” or something like that

[patriciadees]

Is there a software like this that could be used for commercial purposes?

[ProlificSwan]

It would be cool if you could export these to a spritesheet or a rigged 2D model in blender. The spritesheet application is probably pretty easy if you split the gif up. Either one would open up a large amount of applications: i.e. artist drawings getting into 2D games easily, or rendering some 3D scene that makes use of some 2D frames (e.g. a TV)

This is WONDERFUL. Please develop it further for next Animation revolution. Greater control with puppet sliders should be possible which will make it greater that using template motion.

[Danielau]

This is great! Nice work.
Where's the technical paper? You said it was linked in the description, but I don't see a link to it?

[bambinoesu]

played with it, i like it alot.
How do you get the transparent animated playing on a different background?

[ajju]

do we need to use gpu for humanoid detector ?m

[mohali]

Not everything is open-source, or I can't find the source for training the models. Anyone can help?

[MaskedMarble]

Python? Command line? I feel like I'm in 1994. Where's the GUI for command line control.

[Peritoonstv]

Hi Sean, my name is Renee and I m reaching you regarding to use this application unfortunately whenever I try to open it it just don’t open on my desktop is anyway you can help me with tool so I can also create exciting characters on this application, thank you so much. This is Renee.

very cool project, but MP4 output is totally useless, I had to write my own MP4-to-spritesheet converter. Merging text-to-image AI, Animated Drawings and my converter leads to amazing results to create yuour own game! I hope somebody will be able to merge these three steps into one single page, one day or the other.

i could have a drawing pop up in a video??

that could be supper amazing

[rkatz]

lol at creating videos from your kitchen; Linus, is that you?

[EvokAi]

[theherborist]

Ok, i gotta ask: why are you in your kitchen?
