LaVie: High-Quality Video Generation with Cascaded Latent Diffusion Models

This repository is the official PyTorch implementation of LaVie.

LaVie is a Text-to-Video (T2V) generation framework, and main part of video generation system Vchitect. You can also check our fine-tuned Image-to-Video (I2V) model SEINE.

News

[2024.07.08]: LaVie-2 will be released soon, stay tuned!

Inference

The inference contains Base T2V, Video Interpolation and Video Super-Resolution three steps. We provide several options to generate videos:

	Step1	Step2	Step3	Resolution	Length
option1	✔			320x512	16
option2	✔	✔		320x512	61
option3	✔		✔	1280x2048	16
option4	✔	✔	✔	1280x2048	61

Feel free to try different options :)

Step1. Base T2V

Run following command to generate videos from base T2V model.

cd base
python pipelines/sample.py --config configs/sample.yaml

In configs/sample.yaml, arguments for inference:

• ckpt_path: Path to the downloaded LaVie base model, default is ../pretrained_models/lavie_base.pt

• pretrained_models: Path to the downloaded SD1.4, default is ../pretrained_models

• output_folder: Path to save generated results, default is ../res/base

• seed: Seed to be used, None for random generation

• sample_method: Scheduler to use, default is ddpm, options are ddpm, ddim and eulerdiscrete

• guidance_scale: CFG scale to use, default is 7.5

• num_sampling_steps: Denoising steps, default is 50

• text_prompt: Prompt for generation

Following results were generated with the arguments:

seed: 400, sample_method: ddpm, guidance_scale: 7.0, num_sampling_steps: 50

(you might obtain different results on different device)

a shark swimming in clear Carribean ocean, 2k, high quality	a teddy bear walking on the street, 2k, high quality	jungle, river, at sunset, ultra quality

Step2 (optional). Video Interpolation

Run following command to conduct video interpolation.

cd interpolation
python sample.py --config configs/sample.yaml

The default input video path is ./res/base, results will be saved under ./res/interpolation. In configs/sample.yaml, you could modify default input_folder with YOUR_INPUT_FOLDER in configs/sample.yaml. Input videos should be named as prompt1.mp4, prompt2.mp4, ... and put under YOUR_INPUT_FOLDER. Launching the code will process all the input videos in input_folder.

Step3 (optional). Video Super-Resolution

Run following command to conduct video super-resolution.

cd vsr
python sample.py --config configs/sample.yaml

The default input video path is ./res/base and results will be saved under ./res/vsr. You could modify default input_path with YOUR_INPUT_FOLDER in configs/sample.yaml. Similar to Step2, input videos should be named as prompt1.mp4, prompt2.mp4, ... and put under YOUR_INPUT_FOLDER. Launching the code will process all the input videos in input_folder.
