Introduction

In this article, I would like to show you how to utilize Stable Diffusion to create AI text animations for captivating effects and smooth transitions with words. The creation of the input animation does not require any AI tools; you can use sites like Canva or Python for a more technical approach. Afterward, we will use a ComfyUI workflow to add colors and dynamism to our input text.

Tools

The real magic is then done by combining three elements: prompt traveling, AnimateDiff, and ControlNet (using QRCode monster).

Prompt traveling is a simple technique used to have control over an animation: it’s just a list of text prompts, where each prompt will be activated sequentially and is associated with certain frames of the final animation.

AnimateDiff is a powerful model that can turn text into simple animations and can be combined with other SD tools and techniques to give more control over the generated video.

ControlNet, in this case, is used with QRCodeMonster, a model originally made to create QR codes using stable diffusion, resulting…
