How to make: AI Animations

[@thegiftedone]

By far….best video on how to create A.I. animations on any and every platform! Thank you for being 5 stars across the map!

LINKS and TROUBLESHOOTING ERRORS BELOW Hugging Face: huggingface.co/CompVis/stable-diffusion-v-1-4-original/blob/main/sd-v1-4.ckpt Cloud Deforum: colab.research.google.com/github/deforum/stable-diffusion/blob/main/Deforum_Stable_Diffusion.ipynb If you are getting errors, here are some troubleshooting options for a few common errors. If you can't render your video preview go to your Google Drive, and you'll see your frames in the Stable Diffusion folder. If you download that folder, you can upload it as an image sequence in editing programs like Premiere, and it should work great! For errors and Red Signs: 1) Sometimes, Colab will bug out with free users. However, I have reloaded Colab, and waited an hour or two, or even until the next day, and it worked fine without changing anything. This error comes up a bit when running multiple animations in a day. 2) triple-check that all of the play buttons are pressed and have a green check mark next to them. I accidentally miss one all the time. Last Resort: Try re-downloading the CKPT (make sure you have over 4GB on hard drive) and ensuring it's in your Google Drive model folder. Re-watch the video and follow it step by step.

[@IntiArtDesigns]

That link doesn't work, takes me to a totally different page than the one in your video, no weights download anywhere.

[@TheIllusionRecords]

@@IntiArtDesigns same, did you figure it out?

[@BlackJacketJones]

when you follow the hugging face link there are no weights to download...

[@IntiArtDesigns]

Wtf, are you deleting my replies? That's twice i've corrected you on this, first time i posted the link, it got removed, second time i only said what search term to put into google to find it, that's been deleted too. What's going on?

[@xrmotion]

@Paper2Gold What? No. We 100% did deleted one comment that said this is a terrible tutorial with other remarks. Sorry not sorry if that was your comment.

[@downupblockinc1380]

wow thanks for making this so approachable. you are a great teacher

[@AaronSteinPittsburgh]

This is absolutely brilliant! I think it would be super helpful to see a more in depth look at how you prep a campaign like, Waterdeep: Dragon Heist for example, using this method. I suggest this one in particular because I think its being self contained within Waterdeep City makes it particularly good for this method. Or Strixhaven as another example. Wild Beyond the Witchlight might *really* fit this because of how it's maps sort of *are* like Amusement Park maps.

[@xrmotion]

That's a great idea!

[@johndavis7543]

Yes, you are right, I would also add lip sync to the animations using pixbim animate photos.

[@guibeckerupdate]

i've been watching all sort of tutorials on youtube but this one is mind blowing. im re-thinking my carrer from now on.

[@SelfLoveIgnitesMe]

thank you for sharing Lyell, I have written 4 children books on mindfulness I was thinking of animate the pictures in the book and have a series on KZbin, but you have open my eyes to another possibility. Wow you are amazing thank you Sanet

So I literally watched a video about how to make money on KZbin by reviewing the work of others, and I believe I'm seeing this here? Good job! :P

[@xrmotion]

I wouldn't call this video a review. It's more of a "How to" video" right? Our goal was to take a tool that seems daunting to learn and make it as easy as possible for people to use! Although review videos isn't a bad idea :P

[@vjchatgpt]

Thank you so much will be using this for live PRODUCTION and concerts

[@stubbsmusic543]

[@xrmotion]

Make sure you clicked EVERY previous play icon and that there is a green check mark next to it. We miss it too from time to time. We have noticed that the Tesla GPU in the first step does not actually connect even though you get the green check mark; I have waited an hour or two and tried connecting again, and it fixed this issue. If those steps don't work, I would do the tutorial again step by step. If you missed one thing, it could cause an error.

[@Dm-tu4wf]

Bro that’s what is bothering me the most. Everything was going fine until I had to run it.

[@xrmotion]

Hey zombie! If you are getting errors, here are some troubleshooting options for a few common errors. If your video frames won’t render out there are several reason. One, if you are idol or AFK for awhile google colab might disconnect the cloud GPU they give you. I recommend starting over but in a new browser. For errors and Red Signs: 1) Sometimes, Colab will bug out with free users. However, I have reloaded Colab, and waited an hour or two, or even until the next day, and it worked fine without changing anything. This error comes up a bit when running multiple animations in a day. 2) triple-check that all of the play buttons are pressed and have a green check mark next to them. I accidentally miss one all the time. If you were able to create the frames but can't render your video preview then go to your Google Drive, and you'll see your frames in the Stable Diffusion folder. If you download that folder, you can upload it as an image sequence in editing programs like Premiere, and it should work great! Last Resort: Try re-downloading the CKPT (make sure you have over 4GB on hard drive) and ensuring it's in your Google Drive model folder. Rewatch the video and follow it step by step. Also make sure to try this in a new browser!
