I started experimenting with AI video generation using just a ThinkPad T495.
Hardware Setup
I used a ThinkPad T495 with limited RAM and CPU-only processing.
Tools Used
- Stable Diffusion (CPU mode)
- Image animation techniques
- Frame interpolation
- FFmpeg assembly
Workflow
First I generate base frames using Stable Diffusion in CPU mode.
Then I animate the frames using interpolation techniques.
Finally I assemble everything using FFmpeg.
Results
Even on low-end hardware the results were surprisingly usable.
