SkyReels-A1: Expressive Portrait Animation in Video Diffusion Transformers

This repo contains Diffusers style model weights for Skyreels A1 models. You can find the inference code on SkyReels-A1 repository.
Overview of SkyReels-A1 framework. Given an input video sequence and a reference portrait image, we extract facial expression-aware landmarks from the video, which serve as motion descriptors for transferring expressions onto the portrait. Utilizing a conditional video generation framework based on DiT, our approach directly integrates these facial expression-aware landmarks into the input latent space. In alignment with prior research, we employ a pose guidance mechanism constructed within a VAE architecture. This component encodes facial expression-aware landmarks as conditional input for the DiT framework, thereby enabling the model to capture essential low- dimensional visual attributes while preserving the semantic integrity of facial features.
