This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
... How is this better than Animatediff?
At the moment, it doesn't really seem to be that much better. Maybe the frames generated are a little more coherent, but you have less control over it. And from what I have seen so far, it just does very simple motions, like billowing smoke, a turning head, or clouds moving through the sky.
This is the first I've heard of Animatediff. Where do you hear about stuff like that? Lemmy? Reddit? I try to stay up to date on AI stuff, but it feels like I have to do so much digging to get new info.
I just keep an eye on the extensions list for Automatic1111: https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/wiki/Extensions
