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.
