## Text-to-video

[VideoFusion: Decomposed Diffusion Models for High-Quality Video Generation](https://huggingface.co/papers/2303.08320) is by Zhengxiong Luo, Dayou Chen, Yingya Zhang, Yan Huang, Liang Wang, Yujun Shen, Deli Zhao, Jingren Zhou, Tieniu Tan.

The abstract from the paper is:

*A diffusion probabilistic model (DPM), which constructs a forward diffusion process by gradually adding noise to data points and learns the reverse denoising process to generate new samples, has been shown to handle complex data distribution. Despite its recent success in image synthesis, applying DPMs to video generation is still challenging due to high-dimensional data spaces. Previous methods usually adopt a standard diffusion process, where frames in the same video clip are destroyed with independent noises, ignoring the content redundancy and temporal correlation. This work presents a decomposed diffusion process via resolving the per-frame noise into a base noise that is shared among all frames and a residual noise that varies along the time axis. The denoising pipeline employs two jointly-learned networks to match the noise decomposition accordingly. Experiments on various datasets confirm that our approach, termed as VideoFusion, surpasses both GAN-based and diffusion-based alternatives in high-quality video generation. We further show that our decomposed formulation can benefit from pre-trained image diffusion models and well-support text-conditioned video creation.*

Official checkpoints can be found at [damo-vilab](https://huggingface.co/damo-vilab) and [cerspense](https://huggingface.co/cerspense).

### Usage example

#### `text-to-video-ms-1.7b`

Let’s start by generating a short video with the default length of 16 frames (2s at 8 fps):

Copied

```
import torch
from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline
from diffusers.utils import export_to_video

pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained("damo-vilab/text-to-video-ms-1.7b", torch_dtype=torch.float16, variant="fp16")
pipe = pipe.to("cuda")

prompt = "Spiderman is surfing"
video_frames = pipe(prompt).frames
video_path = export_to_video(video_frames)
video_path
```

Diffusers supports different optimization techniques to improve the latency and memory footprint of a pipeline. Since videos are often more memory-heavy than images, we can enable CPU offloading and VAE slicing to keep the memory footprint at bay.

Let’s generate a video of 8 seconds (64 frames) on the same GPU using CPU offloading and VAE slicing:

Copied

```
import torch
from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline
from diffusers.utils import export_to_video

pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained("damo-vilab/text-to-video-ms-1.7b", torch_dtype=torch.float16, variant="fp16")
pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload()

# memory optimization
pipe.enable_vae_slicing()

prompt = "Darth Vader surfing a wave"
video_frames = pipe(prompt, num_frames=64).frames
video_path = export_to_video(video_frames)
video_path
```

It just takes **7 GBs of GPU memory** to generate the 64 video frames using PyTorch 2.0, “fp16” precision and the techniques mentioned above.

We can also use a different scheduler easily, using the same method we’d use for Stable Diffusion:

Copied

```
import torch
from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline, DPMSolverMultistepScheduler
from diffusers.utils import export_to_video

pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained("damo-vilab/text-to-video-ms-1.7b", torch_dtype=torch.float16, variant="fp16")
pipe.scheduler = DPMSolverMultistepScheduler.from_config(pipe.scheduler.config)
pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload()

prompt = "Spiderman is surfing"
video_frames = pipe(prompt, num_inference_steps=25).frames
video_path = export_to_video(video_frames)
video_path
```

Here are some sample outputs:

#### `cerspense/zeroscope_v2_576w` & `cerspense/zeroscope_v2_XL`

Zeroscope are watermark-free model and have been trained on specific sizes such as `576x320` and `1024x576`. One should first generate a video using the lower resolution checkpoint [`cerspense/zeroscope_v2_576w`](https://huggingface.co/cerspense/zeroscope_v2_576w) with [TextToVideoSDPipeline](https://huggingface.co/docs/diffusers/v0.21.0/en/api/pipelines/text_to_video#diffusers.TextToVideoSDPipeline), which can then be upscaled using [VideoToVideoSDPipeline](https://huggingface.co/docs/diffusers/v0.21.0/en/api/pipelines/text_to_video#diffusers.VideoToVideoSDPipeline) and [`cerspense/zeroscope_v2_XL`](https://huggingface.co/cerspense/zeroscope_v2_XL).

Copied

```
import torch
from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline
from diffusers.utils import export_to_video

pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained("cerspense/zeroscope_v2_576w", torch_dtype=torch.float16)
pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload()

# memory optimization
pipe.unet.enable_forward_chunking(chunk_size=1, dim=1)
pipe.enable_vae_slicing()

prompt = "Darth Vader surfing a wave"
video_frames = pipe(prompt, num_frames=24).frames
video_path = export_to_video(video_frames)
video_path
```

Now the video can be upscaled:

Copied

```
pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained("cerspense/zeroscope_v2_XL", torch_dtype=torch.float16)
pipe.scheduler = DPMSolverMultistepScheduler.from_config(pipe.scheduler.config)
pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload()

# memory optimization
pipe.unet.enable_forward_chunking(chunk_size=1, dim=1)
pipe.enable_vae_slicing()

video = [Image.fromarray(frame).resize((1024, 576)) for frame in video_frames]

video_frames = pipe(prompt, video=video, strength=0.6).frames
video_path = export_to_video(video_frames)
video_path
```

Here are some sample outputs:

( )

Disable sliced VAE decoding. If `enable_vae_slicing` was previously enabled, this method will go back to computing decoding in one step.

( )

Enable sliced VAE decoding. When this option is enabled, the VAE will split the input tensor in slices to compute decoding in several steps. This is useful to save some memory and allow larger batch sizes.

( )

Enable tiled VAE decoding. When this option is enabled, the VAE will split the input tensor into tiles to compute decoding and encoding in several steps. This is useful for saving a large amount of memory and to allow processing larger images.

Parameters

* **prompt** (`str` or `List[str]`, *optional*) — prompt to be encoded device — (`torch.device`): torch device
* **num\_images\_per\_prompt** (`int`) — number of images that should be generated per prompt
* **do\_classifier\_free\_guidance** (`bool`) — whether to use classifier free guidance or not
* **negative\_prompt** (`str` or `List[str]`, *optional*) — The prompt or prompts not to guide the image generation. If not defined, one has to pass `negative_prompt_embeds` instead. Ignored when not using guidance (i.e., ignored if `guidance_scale` is less than `1`).
* **prompt\_embeds** (`torch.FloatTensor`, *optional*) — Pre-generated text embeddings. Can be used to easily tweak text inputs, *e.g.* prompt weighting. If not provided, text embeddings will be generated from `prompt` input argument.
* **negative\_prompt\_embeds** (`torch.FloatTensor`, *optional*) — Pre-generated negative text embeddings. Can be used to easily tweak text inputs, *e.g.* prompt weighting. If not provided, negative\_prompt\_embeds will be generated from `negative_prompt` input argument.
* **lora\_scale** (`float`, *optional*) — A lora scale that will be applied to all LoRA layers of the text encoder if LoRA layers are loaded.

Encodes the prompt into text encoder hidden states.

### TextToVideoSDPipelineOutput

#### class diffusers.pipelines.text\_to\_video\_synthesis.TextToVideoSDPipelineOutput

[\<source>](https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/blob/v0.21.0/src/diffusers/pipelines/text_to_video_synthesis/pipeline_output.py#L13)

( frames: typing.Union\[typing.List\[numpy.ndarray], torch.FloatTensor] )

Parameters

* **frames** (`List[np.ndarray]` or `torch.FloatTensor`) — List of denoised frames (essentially images) as NumPy arrays of shape `(height, width, num_channels)` or as a `torch` tensor. The length of the list denotes the video length (the number of frames).

Output class for text-to-video pipelines.
