MagicTime shows excellent performance in metamorphic video generation.
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.

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)):
 |
 |
 |
 |
| "Time-lapse of a coastal landscape [...]" | "Display the serene beauty of twilight [...]" | "Sunrise Splendor: Capture the breathtaking moment [...]" | "Nightfall Elegance: Embrace the tranquil beauty [...]" |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| "The sun descending below the horizon [...]" | "[...] daylight fades into the embrace of the night [...]" | "Time-lapse of the dynamic formations of clouds [...]" | "Capture the dynamic formations of clouds [...]" |

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 Hugging Face Spaces.
python app.py# For Realistic
python inference_magictime.py --config sample_configs/RealisticVision.yaml --human
# or you can directly run the .sh
sh inference_cli.shwarning: It is worth noting that even if we use the same seed and prompt but we change a machine, the results will be different.
We recommend the requirements as follows.
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/PKU-YuanGroup/MagicTime.git
cd MagicTime
conda create -n magictime python=3.10.13
conda activate magictime
pip install -r requirements.txtsh prepare_weights/down_base_model.sh
sh prepare_weights/down_dreambooth.shsh prepare_weights/down_magictime_module.shThe training code is coming soon!
For inference, some examples are shown below:
# For Realistic
python inference_magictime.py --config sample_configs/RealisticVision.yaml
# For ToonYou
python inference_magictime.py --config sample_configs/ToonYou.yaml
# For RcnzCartoon
python inference_magictime.py --config sample_configs/RcnzCartoon.yaml
# or you can directly run the .sh
sh inference.shYou can also put all your custom prompts in a .txt file and run:
# For Realistic
python inference_magictime.py --config sample_configs/RealisticVision.yaml --run-txt XXX.txt --batch-size 2
# For ToonYou
python inference_magictime.py --config sample_configs/ToonYou.yaml --run-txt XXX.txt --batch-size 2
# For RcnzCartoon
python inference_magictime.py --config sample_configs/RcnzCartoon.yaml --run-txt XXX.txt --batch-size 2We found some plugins created by community developers. Thanks for their efforts:
