Stable Video Diffusion
Stable Video Diffusion turns a still image into a short video. The original image-conditioned model generates 14 frames and uses a decoder adapted for temporal consistency.
Model design and access
The card also provides a frame-wise decoder for comparison. It warns of very limited motion, imperfect faces and unreadable text. SVD is an image-conditioned video model; a still image is the starting condition rather than a complete motion plan.Stable Video Diffusion official model card
The XT checkpoint extends generation to 25 frames and was fine-tuned from the 14-frame model.Stable Video Diffusion XT model card
Stability ended its Stable Video Diffusion API on 24 July 2025. Self-hosted use remains available. This page lists downloadable weights as the available access route.Stability AI API release notes
Practical use
Practical guidance. These weights suit local motion experiments and research that needs a fixed earlier release. A strong starting image helps define appearance, but it does not establish a precise action. Inspect the whole clip for deformation and scene changes, especially when the input contains people or small text.
