Create Engaging Dance AI Videos with Stable Diffusion Animation: A Step-by-Step Tutorial for Youtube Shorts

Written by Future Thinker @Benji - January 17, 2024


Welcome, everyone! Have you ever wondered how those incredible dance videos with AI animations are created on YouTube shorts? Well, today I'm here to walk you through the step-by-step process using stable diffusion animation techniques. It's truly fascinating how we can bring virtual dancers to life!

The Magic of Stable Diffusion Animation

Believe it or not, some people doubted if these dancers were real or AI-generated. One person even asked for this virtual girl's Tik Tok ID! But here's the twist - she's entirely virtual! It's amazing what technology can do these days.

Now, I know some of you in the comments have mentioned issues with the Move-to-Move extension not working with version 1.6. But fear not, my friends! I am here to show you that it indeed works like a charm. Let's dive into the tutorial and prove those doubters wrong!

Step 1: Automatic 1111 - The Easiest Way to Create Animations

To start creating your dance animations, the easiest method is to use Move-to-Move. Unlike other techniques, it requires minimal preparation. All you need are your short videos. Simply drag and drop them, add your prompts, and let the magic happen!

For this tutorial, I'm also using the Face Swap extension based on the ROT model. Please note that this extension is uncensored and NSFW enabled - I know some of you find that quite fascinating! Hah, technology never ceases to surprise us!

Don't worry, folks – I'll provide the links to everything I mention in the description below. Now, let's move on to the next step.

Step 2: The Smooth Experience of SD Web Reactor

The SD Web Reactor extension has been a smooth and seamless experience for me. During installation and initial use, you won't need to worry about downloading additional model files, as it automatically takes care of that for you. It's efficient, convenient, and supports Google Colab as well!

Before we explore the Face Swap extension, make sure to disable the SD Web UI RP extension and restart Automatic 1111. Trust me, you don't want to run both extensions simultaneously – it'll simply crash the system. Safety first, my friends!

Step 3: Mastering Move-to-Move

Now, let's dive into the Move-to-Move tab. In this updated version, they've added a fantastic feature called the Movie Editor. With this feature, you can select a specific frame and customize it to your heart's desire. For example, you can turn a scene from the original video, like a person sitting in a park, into someone sitting in a futuristic spaceship. How cool is that?!

This Movie Editor feature is a game-changer, my friends. It allows you to drag and drop a video, select a frame number, and create specific text prompts for each frame. The clip interrogate key frame and deep buru key frame features also give you the freedom to play around with key frame images. No more tedious work extracting frames and doing image-to-image transformations! Move-to-Move simplifies the process. It's a time-saver and a creativity booster!

In my example, I selected a key frame and added a text prompt about a woman dancing. With the clip interrogate key frame and deep buru key frame, you can let your imagination run wild. But remember, download the custom model the first time you use them.

Step 4: The Incredible Face Swap Extension

While we wait for those downloads to finish, let's enable the Face Swap extension. Just like the RP Web UI extension, select the face image you want for the swap and click enable. The extension even allows you to specify the target people if you have multiple individuals in the video clip – up to three people, to be exact!

Keep the other settings as default for now. We'll dive deeper into the various settings shortly. Time to try out a new video for face swapping and Move-to-Move animation. Let's see what kind of magic we can create!

Step 5: Unveiling the Results

Alright, folks, the moment of truth has arrived. Let's see the results on the right side of your screen. As you can see, we have the face swap result with a denoising strength of 0.4 and a noise multiplier set to one. But that's not all – I've also tested other settings to reduce noise and flickering, which I'll showcase later.

Now, the first generation might appear a bit rough, with a cartoony style using the REV animated checkpoint and a denoising strength of 0.5. But fear not! With the realistic Vision checkpoint models and lower denoising strength, we can achieve something similar to those captivating YouTube short dance videos. The improvement is significant – say goodbye to flickering and hello to smooth animations!

Voila! There you have it – using the stable diffusion extension solely for generating animations without any cumbersome AI tools. Let's take a moment to appreciate the stunning animation before we conclude.
