Stable Video Diffusion
Stable Video Diffusion is a model for generating video from Stable Diffusion. It supports text-to-video and image-to-video generation, including image-based animation. The product page describes outputs of 14 or 25 frames at customizable rates from 3 to 30 frames per second, with video creation stated as taking two minutes or less. Listed model versions include 14-frame, 25-frame, and 1.1 variants. Stability AI provides self-hosting instructions that involve downloading model weights and running the reference implementation locally or on your own infrastructure. Hosted API endpoints were deprecated on July 24, 2025, and API access is unavailable. Stability AI says its foundation models are available on Amazon Bedrock and Amazon SageMaker JumpStart. The Community License is listed at free for users below $1M in annual revenue, subject to model-specific terms. Businesses above that threshold are directed to Enterprise licensing with custom pricing.
