To achieve robust multi-scale adaptability, DreamActor-M1 uses a progressive training strategy that incorporates data of varying resolutions and poses, enabling it to handle different image scales seamlessly. Its appearance guidance mechanism integrates motion patterns from sequential frames with complementary visual references, ensuring long-term temporal coherence even in regions not visible in the reference images. This results in smooth, consistent animations over extended video sequences, overcoming common issues like jitter or identity drift. The framework also generates multi-view pseudo-references to enhance detail propagation across frames, further improving the visual fidelity and realism of the output.
DreamActor-M1 is accessible via a web-based demo where users can upload images, adjust animation parameters such as movement intensity and scale, and generate lifelike animated videos with ease. The model runs on cloud infrastructure, requiring only a modern web browser and internet connection, with typical processing times ranging from one to two minutes per animation. While the demo is free for non-commercial use, commercial licensing terms apply for professional projects. DreamActor-M1 represents a significant advancement in human image animation technology, combining cutting-edge diffusion transformers with hybrid guidance to deliver expressive, high-quality, and temporally coherent animations that push the boundaries of digital character creation.
