Framepack
Framepack is a highly efficient, open-source Image-to-Video model that generates video by autoregressively predicting the next frame. Developed by the creator of ControlNet, its lightweight design makes it accessible for artists and developers to run on consumer hardware. This model is ideal for the AI art community for its focus on providing a foundational, easily modifiable tool for creating short, coherent animations from a single starting image.

Connect Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or Codex to Layer’s MCP server and Framepack becomes a tool your agent can reach for — it picks the parameters, runs the generation, and shows you the result in the conversation.

-H "Authorization: Bearer $LAYER_TOKEN"- prompt string
- Describe what to generate, or the change to make.
- color_palette any
- Colors the output should use. This model doesn't take a palette natively, so the colors are added to the prompt.
- negative_prompt string
- What to keep out of the result.
- aspect_ratio enumdefault LANDSCAPE_16_9_720p4 options
- The shape and size of the output.
- seed integer
- The starting point for the model's randomness. The same seed and settings give the same result.
- guidance_scale numberdefault 100–32
- How closely the result follows the prompt. Lower gives the model more freedom.
- duration_seconds integerdefault 5
- Length of the generated clip, in seconds.
- guidance_file_first_frame file[]required
- The frame the video starts on
- prompt_language string
- The language the prompt is written in, so it reaches the model as you meant it.
Why use Framepack for video?
Smooth frame interpolation for more natural, fluid motion
Framepack increases video fluidity by generating in between frames that smooth out motion. This improves readability for short promos, UA hooks, and character driven clips where jitter is distracting.
Reduces stutter, jitter, and abrupt transitions across the video
The model stabilizes fast movements, camera shifts, and scene transitions without altering the original content. Framepack is ideal for polishing AI generated sequences that need cleaner pacing.
Production ready motion enhancement for UA and promotional clips
Framepack upgrades the perceived quality of existing videos by improving their motion clarity. This makes creative assets look more professional and helps teams get more mileage out of the videos they already have.
Smoothing AI generated UA videos for higher performance
Enhance 1 to 3 second ad hooks by reducing jitter and improving visual flow. Framepack helps creatives feel cleaner and more engaging across mobile ad placements.
Polishing cosmetic reveals and character showcase loops
Improve subtle motions like outfit sways, eye movement, or small gestures. Framepack makes character driven clips feel higher quality without needing a full re render.
Enhancing environmental loops and thematic event footage
Smooth camera pans, lighting transitions, or biome shots to make them more atmospheric. Great for LiveOps content, seasonal event promos, and worldbuilding sequences.
FAQ
How much does Framepack cost? Is it free?+
How does Layer's pricing work?+
There are no seat fees, feature gates, or plans on Layer. Instead, our platform uses a consumption based system with Creative Units (CUs) with a flexible monthly subscription. Every generation on Layer (image, video, 3D, or audio) consumes a Creative Unit, and you only pay for what you create.
