VideoCrafter1 I2V

VideoCrafter1 I2V from Tencent AI Lab: image-to-video and video-generation; Runner parity pending.
VideoCrafter1 I2V is the image-to-video member of Tencent AI Lab's VideoCrafter1 release: it animates a still image while preserving its content, style, and structure. The in-tree infer-only runtime wraps the official path with local checkpoint, fps, frame count, and seed controls.
No official teaser or method figure is checked into this docs tree.
The recorded paper is arXiv 2401.09047.

--jsonWhat it is for
videocrafter1-i2v is the recorded text/image-to-video line. Use it when you want both prompt and still conditioning on the same catalog card.
A U-Net latent video diffusion model conditioned on the input image embedding (per the upstream release). Checkpoint provenance lives on the family-level videocrafter entry; training and download scripts are intentionally not packaged.
Catalog tasks include image-to-video and video-generation. Catalog aliases include videocrafter1_i2v. Documented modalities: image in, video out.
Recorded evaluation entry points include EvalCrafter (Companion benchmark of the VideoCrafter effort).
Not VideoCrafter and VideoCrafter1 T2V. Score on EvalCrafter.
Runtime contract
Optional prompt, input_path, frames, fps, and height; artifacts generated_video and videocrafter1-i2v.mp4.
CLI task profiles: interactive-video. WorldFoundry binds VideoCrafter1I2VPipeline.
Family status: Runner parity pending.
Runner parity is pending. Expect 2023-era quality: short clips, modest motion. For higher fidelity image animation use DynamiCrafter or the DiT-based I2V entries.
Checkpoint provenance is tracked on the top-level videocrafter catalog entry to avoid duplicate HF repo aliases.
Running in WorldFoundry
The catalog launch is worldfoundry-eval run videocrafter1-i2v --pipeline.task-profile interactive-video. The command builder above switches --pipeline.task-profile among recorded tasks and still emits worldfoundry-eval run.
It runs in the unified environment worldfoundry-unified-cu128 (Python 3.11, CUDA 12.8).
Recorded weight repositories include VideoCrafter/Image2Video-512 and laion/CLIP-ViT-H-14-laion2B-s32B-b79K. Prepare the environment and check local assets with bash scripts/inference/prepare_model_infer.sh videocrafter1-i2v. Add --download to fetch missing public checkpoints.
Status: Runner parity pending.
