ToonCrafter is an AI tool that generates short cartoon video clips, around 2 seconds in length, from two static images and a text prompt describing dynamics. It is based on a generative cartoon interpolation approach. The AI model is trained to generate 16 video frames at a resolution of 512x320.

Key aspects of ToonCrafter:

• Generative Cartoon Interpolation: ToonCrafter is designed to create smooth transitions between cartoon key frames by generating intermediate frames, resulting in seamless animations.
• AI-Driven Animation: The tool uses AI to automatically generate fluid, lifelike animation clips from static cartoon images.
• Style Transfer Learning: ToonCrafter is trained on large cartoon datasets, which allows it to ensure that the generated animations blend seamlessly with the original art style, maintaining visual consistency.
• Pixel-Level Detail Extraction: The tool extracts fine textures, lines, and other visual elements from input frames and incorporates them into the generated animations.
• Controllable Generation: ToonCrafter offers sketch-based controllable generation, allowing animators to provide sketches that guide the creation of intermediate frames, giving them more control over the animation process
