A short YouTube video (by LARRUZ) demonstrating and praising ToonCrafter, a generative-AI animation tool that interpolates frames between two cartoon images. The speaker calls it “by far the best tool” of its kind and demonstrates examples (a candle flame appearing; a character’s eye movement and smile), concluding outputs are very usable and the tool is available now.
Making animations using generative AI has become even easier with tooncrafter. And what it does is that if you give it two images of a cartoon, it will generate all the frames in between. So here you have one frame with the candle not burning here of the second one. And look at this flame coming up. This is not just decent, this is very, very usable, and that's why this got a lot of attention. This is by far the best tool to do this that has come out yet, and you can use it today. So we tried it out on a few examples of our own to see if this actually works. Here's image one. And here is image two. Here's what Tonecrafter produced. Okay, that's not terrible. This is one of the trickiest things you can throw at it. Let's maybe look at something easier yet crucial to a story. This image of a character. Image one, image two, where she's smiling. And here's what Tombcrafter created. Look at that. The eye movement, the smile. This one is really good.
