Wan-Dancer: Minute-Level Music-to-Dance Generation
The authors introduce Wan-Dancer, a model designed to generate long, high-resolution, rhythm-synchronized dance videos from full music tracks. It aims to overcome the instability that current diffusion video models face around the 20-second mark.
Core Approach
- Decouples generation into two tiers: global keyframe planning + local temporal refinement to ensure long-range consistency.
- Utilizes the full music context to maintain structural coherence over long durations.
- Introduces time-mapped RoPE for dynamic frame rate adaptation, improving audio-visual alignment.
- Employs optical flow-based loss to enhance motion continuity.
- Uses motion-speed control to preserve details during fast movements.
Results & Availability
- The paper claims it outperforms traditional duration-limited methods in experiments.
- Capable of generating stable dance videos exceeding 1 minute at 720p/30fps.
- Covers 5 dance styles and supports both audio and text conditions.
- Model weights and inference code are open-sourced, with demos available on ModelScope Studio and Hugging Face Space.
