# SkyReels V2

Local video-extension experiments in an existing V2 pipeline

- **Availability**: legacy
- **Where it runs**: local
- **Costs**: Budget for your own GPU or rented GPU time, storage and review. Longer continuations increase that workload; hosted V2 access and billing have not been verified.
- **Adult content policy**: conditional

SkyReels V2 gives local video-extension experiments a useful set of controls: its diffusion-forcing workflow can continue an existing clip and accept start and end frames. Those controls do not guarantee a coherent long take. Check each continuation for character drift, broken motion and visible joins, and decide where the shot should stop before the render becomes an editing project of its own. The released checkpoints cover different tasks and resolutions, so choose the exact variant your pipeline needs. If V2 already works for you, compare the newer V3 separately before rebuilding the workflow.

## Commercial use & license

The weights link to the custom Skywork Community License, which permits commercial use subject to restrictions. Confirm the terms for your checkpoint: the linked agreement names Skywork-13B. Do not assume Apache-2.0 licensing.

## Adult content rules

The linked terms prohibit unlawful use and require respect for third-party rights. They do not explicitly authorize adult content; check the applicable checkpoint terms, local law and input rights before use.

[Read the policy](https://github.com/SkyworkAI/SkyReels-V2)

## What you need

Use a released 1.3B diffusion-forcing or image-to-video checkpoint at 540p, or a 14B diffusion-forcing, text-to-video or image-to-video checkpoint at 540p or 720p, with the project’s GPU inference setup. For diffusion forcing at 540p, the project reports about 14.7GB peak VRAM for 1.3B and 51.2GB for 14B; usage depends on settings.

Ranks are recommendations for the task described, based on reviewed documentation. Model ranks cover non-explicit development work. We have not run practical benchmarks. Check content policies and commercial terms separately. [How the ranks work](https://bestadultgames.io/en/developers/methodology.md)

Last checked 5 October 2026.

## Why consider it

- Diffusion-forcing workflow for extending existing video
- Start and end frame control in the released inference code
- Released 540p and 720p checkpoint options

## Tradeoffs to plan for

- Long continuations still need checks for drift and broken motion
- Larger checkpoints demand substantial GPU memory
- 5B variants remain listed as Coming Soon

The tier reflects documented fit for the workflow described here and availability. No numeric score or hands-on performance results are provided.
