Installing Stability Animation on Mac

1. Create an account at Stability AI's DreamStudio: https://beta.dreamstudio.ai/

2. Probably interesting to add some credits to be able to generate the frames, I added $10 to start playing with it :-)

3. Copy your API KEY (you'll use it in the commands bellow): https://beta.dreamstudio.ai/account

   

4. Download and install Python 3: https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.11.3/python-3.11.3-macos11.pkg

5. Open Terminal and run the following commands (some will take a bit of time to install at first time):

mkdir stability_animation
cd stability_animation
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
export STABILITY_KEY=paste_your_api_key_here
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install 'stability_sdk[anim_ui]'
python -m stability_sdk animate --gui

1. Open the URL displayed in the Terminal: http://127.0.0.1:7860 That will open the UI on your Web browser
2. Check section "Using” bellow 👇🏻

Using

I created a project with the "Prompt interpolate” preset (then click on Create):

Now move to the "Render”, edit the animation prompts (feel free to add more lines, the number represent the frame and the string on the right, the prompt to interpolate from/to):

You can move to the other sub-tabs "Config", etc… and play with the parameters.

Then click in "Render".

Note: generating frames consume your credits, so keep an eye on it 😅

Running again

1. Next time you want to use it, you don't need to execute all those commands. Just open Terminal and run:
