What is this?
Animate Anyone is a research project for character animation: it turns a character image into video, synthesizing consistent and controllable motion.
Can I download and run this as an app, or is it a research repo?
It's a research repository: the README is essentially the paper's title, its author list, and a citation note, with no demo, app, or usage guide attached.
How would I run it on my own images then?
There is no documented path: the README contains no install steps, dependency list, or quickstart, so running it means working from the paper and the code itself.
The README mentions Wan-Animate โ what is that?
It's the authors' open-source follow-up in the Animate Anyone series; the README points anyone interested in the series to that project.
Does it animate a video from just one still image?
Yes, that's the core setup: image-to-video synthesis, where a character image drives a generated video with consistent appearance and controllable motion.
Is the code free to use, even commercially?
The repository is released under the Apache-2.0 license, so the code can be used, modified, and distributed freely, including in commercial projects.
