Framepack is a lightweight, autoregressive video synthesis model. Instead of generating all frames simultaneously, it builds each frame step by step, preserving motion logic and fine details over time.
Originally developed by the author of ControlNet, Framepack focuses on real-world usability: speed, structure retention, and compatibility with modern image generation workflows.
Key Features
- Autoregressive Generation: Each video frame is conditioned on the previous, leading to fluid and logically consistent motion.
- High Structure Fidelity: Retains detailed spatial structures and visual elements from the input image, ideal for character animation or style-sensitive scenes.
- Fast & Lightweight: Built with efficiency in mind—Framepack runs rapidly on WaveSpeedAI’s backend with low compute cost.
- General-Purpose Prompt Support: Accepts image inputs and prompt-based guidance for versatile video output.
ComfyUI
framepack is also available on ComfyUI, providing local inference capabilities through a node-based workflow. This ensures flexible and efficient video generation on your system, catering to various creative workflows.
Limitations
- Generation Speed: While optimized for efficiency, the frame generation speed varies depending on hardware. For instance, on an NVIDIA RTX 4090, the generation speed can reach up to 0.6 frames per second with optimization techniques like teacache.
- Hardware Compatibility: Currently, FramePack requires NVIDIA RTX 30/40/50 series GPUs with support for FP16 and BF16 data formats. Compatibility with older NVIDIA GPUs, as well as AMD and Intel hardware, has not been verified
- Frame Rate Cap: The model has a 30 FPS cap, which may not meet the requirements of all professional applications.
Out-of-Scope Use
The model and its derivatives may not be used in any way that violates applicable national, federal, state, local, or international law or regulation, including but not limited to:
- Exploiting, harming, or attempting to exploit or harm minors, including solicitation, creation, acquisition, or dissemination of child exploitative content.
- Generating or disseminating verifiably false information with the intent to harm others.
- Creating or distributing personal identifiable information that could be used to harm an individual.
- Harassing, abusing, threatening, stalking, or bullying individuals or groups.
- Producing non-consensual nudity or illegal pornographic content.
- Making fully automated decisions that adversely affect an individual’s legal rights or create binding obligations.
- Facilitating large-scale disinformation campaigns.
Accelerated Inference
