What it does
Chains generations into animation inside AUTOMATIC1111, with camera motion, keyframed parameters and audio sync — the toolchain behind a whole era of morphing AI video. Development stopped in August 2024, and the authors themselves warn that frequent webui updates break extension compatibility, recommending you keep a known-good folder separate. Getting a working combination is now the hard part, and the parameter surface is large. Check the licence at source.
