Model Studio AnimateAnyone

Validation

bash
mkdir -p output/aliyun-animate-anyone
python -m py_compile skills/ai/video/aliyun-animate-anyone/scripts/prepare_animate_anyone_request.py && echo "py_compile_ok" > output/aliyun-animate-anyone/validate.txt
Pass criteria: command exits 0 and 
output/aliyun-animate-anyone/validate.txt
is generated.

Output And Evidence

  • Save normalized request payloads, detection outputs, template IDs, and task polling snapshots under 
    output/aliyun-animate-anyone/
    .
  • Record whether the result should keep the reference image background or the source video background.
Use AnimateAnyone when the task needs motion transfer from a template video rather than plain talking-head animation.

Critical model names

Use these exact model strings:
  • animate-anyone-detect-gen2
  • animate-anyone-template-gen2
  • animate-anyone-gen2
Selection guidance:
  • Run image detection first.
  • Run template generation on the source motion video.
  • Use 
    animate-anyone-gen2
    for the final video job.

Prerequisites

  • China mainland (Beijing) only.
  • Set 
    DASHSCOPE_API_KEY
    in your environment, or add 
    dashscope_api_key
    to 
    ~/.alibabacloud/credentials
    .
  • Input files must be public HTTP/HTTPS URLs.

Quick start

bash
python skills/ai/video/aliyun-animate-anyone/scripts/prepare_animate_anyone_request.py \
  --image-url "https://example.com/dancer.png" \
  --template-id "tmpl_xxx" \
  --use-ref-img-bg

Operational guidance

  • The action template must come from the official template-generation API.
  • Full-body images work best when 
    use_ref_img_bg=false
    ; half-body images are not recommended in that mode.
  • This skill is best for dancing or large body motion transfer, not generic talking-head tasks.

Output location

  • Default output: 
    output/aliyun-animate-anyone/request.json
  • Override base dir with 
    OUTPUT_DIR
    .
