The latest innovation from Character.AI transforms static images into vivid, expressive videos with synchronized speech – a breakthrough for creative applications.
AvatarFX uses an advanced Diffusion Transformer (DiT) model to bring images to life. Unlike traditional text-to-video models, this technology enables the animation of existing images with precise lip-sync and natural movements of the face, hands and body. The platform supports different styles – from 2D cartoons to 3D renderings and even pets – and is designed to integrate with the Character.AI platform.
The technical architecture is based on a flow-based diffusion model that is superior in motion consistency. By decoupling motion generation and static image properties, AvatarFX can animate custom images without requiring full retraining – a significant efficiency gain over traditional approaches.
Of particular note is the ability to handle long video content of up to 5 minutes – significantly more than competitors such as Runway Gen-3 with a maximum of 4 seconds. This feature is achieved through hierarchical temporal modeling, which enables complex narratives with multiple characters. Advanced users can control animations through keyframes for postures or camera angles, offering finer control than purely text-driven tools.
To combat abuse, AvatarFX implements a multi-layered security framework that includes input filtering, content moderation and provenance tracking. Uploaded images of real people are modified by a GAN that subtly adjusts facial geometry to prevent recognizable deepfakes. In addition, dialogs are checked for problematic content and videos are provided with cryptographic watermarks.
