Features

SCAIL — Studio-Grade Character Animation

SCAIL (Studio-Grade Character Animation with In-context Learning) is an open-source framework enabling high-fidelity character animation across diverse and challenging conditions.
Unlike traditional methods, it handles large motion variations, stylized characters, and multi-character interactions without explicit per-frame structural guidance.

Key Features

• Diverse Character Support
  Works with realistic humans, stylized characters, and anime — despite minimal anime training data.

• Large Motion Handling
  Handles challenging motions like flipping and turning that break traditional pose-based methods.

• Multi-Character Interactions
  Performs spatiotemporal reasoning across entire motion sequences for complex multi-character scenes.

• Identity Preservation
  Uses 3D-consistent pose representations to prevent identity leakage while retaining rich motion details.

• Easy Setup
  Works with a single reference image and a driving video — no complex preprocessing required.

Pricing

Billing Rules

• Minimum charge: 5 seconds — any video shorter than 5 seconds is billed as 5 seconds.
• Maximum billed duration: 120 seconds (2 minutes)

How to Use

1. Upload image — A clear reference image of the character (recommended formats: JPG / PNG, avoid WEBP).
2. Upload video — The motion source; SCAIL extracts pose and motion dynamics from this clip.
3. Add prompt (optional) — Guide the output with descriptive text. Long, detailed prompts work best.
4. Select resolution — Choose between 480p or 720p.
5. Generate — Wait while SCAIL processes the animation.
6. Review & Iterate — Fix a seed to reproduce results, or vary it for different outputs.

Tips for Best Results

• Use Detailed Prompts: SCAIL benefits from long, descriptive prompts for optimal results.
• Match Pose & Composition: Keep your reference image’s camera angle and framing close to the target video.
• Keep Aspect Ratios Consistent: Use the same aspect ratio between your input image and video.
• Experiment with Stylized Content: The model handles anime and stylized characters surprisingly well.
• Multi-Character Scenes: SCAIL can handle complex multi-character interactions.
