SCAIL | Studio-Grade Character Animation with In-Context Learning

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

Resolution	Price per 5s	Price per second	Max Length
480p	$0.20	$0.04 / s	120 s
720p	$0.40	$0.08 / s	120 s

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

Upload image — A clear reference image of the character (recommended formats: JPG / PNG, avoid WEBP).
Upload video — The motion source; SCAIL extracts pose and motion dynamics from this clip.
Add prompt (optional) — Guide the output with descriptive text. Long, detailed prompts work best.
Select resolution — Choose between 480p or 720p.
Generate — Wait while SCAIL processes the animation.
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.

SCAIL enables high-fidelity character animation using reference images. It handles large motion variations, stylized characters, and multi-character interactions without explicit per-frame structural guidance. Ready-to-use REST inference API, no coldstarts, affordable pricing.
