AnimateDiff and QR CN = Craft Videos with Hidden Messages in Plain Sight (replicate.com)

Ever squint at those pictures where mountains turn into Ronaldo or kittens charging towards the camera reveal a hidden message if you tilt your head just right?

Now we're kicking it up a notch—into video.

Say hello to AnimateDiff. It's as if image-to-image models just learned how to dance. Drop in a GIF, like a spiral, add a prompt such as "forest in the wind" and there you have it: trees swaying with that hypnotic spiral rhythm. You decide how subtle or overt the effect is.

This trick's done with QR Monster ControlNet — the tool behind those artistic QR codes, but now for videos! Play around with the 'controlnet_conditioning_scale' to dial the illusion up or down (i.e. how much the animation will adhere to the input video).

So, next time you've got a video that needs mind bending illusions or a little easter egg for those who look closer, AnimateDiff's your go-to. Try it out and show us what hidden gems you've cooked up! https://replicate.com/zsxkib/animatediff-illusions

Full disclosure I work for Replicate and I thought this model had sooo much potential and so I wanted to share it
