EasyAnimate

EasyAnimate is an open-source, end-to-end pipeline with 2,200+ stars on GitHub for generating high-resolution, long AI videos with transformer diffusion models — and for training the models behind them.

Overview

Developed by Alibaba’s PAI team, EasyAnimate covers the whole text-to-video workflow in one repository. At its core is a Diffusion Transformer (DiT) generator that can produce videos of roughly six seconds at various resolutions directly from pretrained models, alongside the supporting machinery most projects leave to you: VAEs adapted for processing long videos, metadata preprocessing for training data, and training support for both baseline models and LoRA adaptations. That makes it useful in both directions — generate videos today from the model zoo, or fine-tune and train your own variants on your own footage. The project is documented in English, Chinese and Japanese, has an accompanying arXiv paper, and offers hosted demos on ModelScope Studio and Hugging Face Spaces so you can try generation before committing GPU time. It was last updated in 2025 under the Apache License 2.0.

Key Features

• High-resolution long video generation – transformer diffusion pipeline for multi-second clips.
• Training included – train baseline DiT models and LoRA adaptations, not just inference.
• Long-video VAE – video VAE components designed for processing extended footage.
• Data preprocessing – metadata preprocessing tools for building training datasets.
• Hosted demos – try it on ModelScope Studio or Hugging Face Spaces without installing.
• Model zoo – pretrained EasyAnimate models ready for direct prediction.

💳 Pricing

EasyAnimate is free and open source under the Apache License 2.0. You run generation and training on your own GPUs; the hosted demos are free to try, and there is no paid tier for the software.

Who Is It For

AI video researchers, generative media developers and technical creators who want a complete, trainable open pipeline for text-to-video instead of a closed generation API.
