Apple researchers unveil ‘Keyframer’: An AI tool that animates still images using LLMs


Researchers at Apple have developed an AI-powered animation tool called Keyframer that allows anyone to animate static images using natural language prompts, opening up animation design to broader audiences.

You’ve got static images and a story to tell, but the thought of countless hours bending over an iPad to breathe life into your creations is, well, exhausting. In what is seen as a significant leveling of the playing field, Keyframer offers non-experts the capacity to bring stories to life through animation—a task that once required considerable technical skill and resources. Apple’s move with Keyframer could well be a precursor to a new era where the boundaries between creator and creation become increasingly fluid, guided by the invisible hand of artificial intelligence.
