## Description

StoryDiffusion is a generative AI system designed for consistent character image and video generation. It utilizes a pluggable cross-attention module to inject shared character representations into pretrained diffusion models, allowing for visual identity stability across multiple images and scenes without retraining the base model.

The project features a video generation pipeline that produces temporally coherent sequences from text prompts or condition images. It employs a latent space motion interpolator to predict intermediate frames and semantic motion, enabling long-range video generation and larger motion transitions by operating within a compressed variational autoencoder space.

The system includes capabilities for AI comic creation and a text-to-video pipeline. To support hardware accessibility, it implements precision-reduced model serving and low-memory inference to run the full generation pipeline on consumer GPUs.

An interactive demo interface is provided via a local web dashboard for content creation.
