⚡⚡ User Prompt to 270p, NFE = 50, Takes ~30s ⚡⚡

⚡⚡ 270p to 1080p , NFE = 4, Takes ~72s ⚡⚡

🔥 Update

• [2025.02.10] 🔥 🔥 🔥 Inference code and both stage model weights have been released.

🌿 Introduction

In this repository, we provide:

• The stage-I weight for 270P video generation.
• The stage-II for enhancing 270P video to 1080P.
• Inference code of both stages.
• Training code and related augmentation. Work in process PR#12
  • Loss function
  • Dataset and augmentation
  • Configuration and training script
• Implementation with diffusers.
• Gradio.

Install

1. Environment Setup

This repository is tested with PyTorch 2.4.0+cu121 and Python 3.11.11. You can install the necessary dependencies using the following command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Preparing the Checkpoints

To get the 3D VAE (identical to CogVideoX), along with Stage-I and Stage-II weights, set them up as follows:

cd FlashVideo
mkdir -p ./checkpoints
huggingface-cli download --local-dir ./checkpoints  FoundationVision/FlashVideo

The checkpoints should be organized as shown below:

├── 3d-vae.pt
├── stage1.pt
└── stage2.pt

🚀 Text to Video Generation

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE ⚠️ : Both stage-I and stage-II are trained with long prompts only. For achieving the best results, include comprehensive and detailed descriptions in your prompts, akin to the example provided in example.txt.

Jupyter Notebook

You can conveniently provide user prompts in our Jupyter notebook. The default configuration for spatial and temporal slices in the VAE Decoder is tailored for an 80G GPU. For GPUs with less memory, one might consider increasing the spatial and temporal slice.

Inferring from a Text File Containing Prompts

You can conveniently provide the user prompt in a text file and generate videos with multiple gpus.
