Zero-Shot Text-to-Video Generation

Overview

Text2Video-Zero: Text-to-Image Diffusion Models are Zero-Shot Video Generators by Levon Khachatryan, Andranik Movsisyan, Vahram Tadevosyan, Roberto Henschel, Zhangyang Wang, Shant Navasardyan, Humphrey Shi.

Our method Text2Video-Zero enables zero-shot video generation using either

1. A textual prompt, or
2. A prompt combined with guidance from poses or edges, or
3. Video Instruct-Pix2Pix, i.e., instruction-guided video editing.

Results are temporally consistent and follow closely the guidance and textual prompts.

The abstract of the paper is the following:

Recent text-to-video generation approaches rely on computationally heavy training and require large-scale video datasets. In this paper, we introduce a new task of zero-shot text-to-video generation and propose a low-cost approach (without any training or optimization) by leveraging the power of existing text-to-image synthesis methods (e.g., Stable Diffusion), making them suitable for the video domain. Our key modifications include (i) enriching the latent codes of the generated frames with motion dynamics to keep the global scene and the background time consistent; and (ii) reprogramming frame-level self-attention using a new cross-frame attention of each frame on the first frame, to preserve the context, appearance, and identity of the foreground object. Experiments show that this leads to low overhead, yet high-quality and remarkably consistent video generation. Moreover, our approach is not limited to text-to-video synthesis but is also applicable to other tasks such as conditional and content-specialized video generation, and Video Instruct-Pix2Pix, i.e., instruction-guided video editing. As experiments show, our method performs comparably or sometimes better than recent approaches, despite not being trained on additional video data.

Usage example

Text-To-Video

To generate a video from prompt, run the following python command

import torch
import imageio
from diffusers import TextToVideoZeroPipeline

model_id = "runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5"
pipe = TextToVideoZeroPipeline.from_pretrained(model_id, torch_dtype=torch.float16).to("cuda")

prompt = "A panda is playing guitar on times square"
result = pipe(prompt=prompt).images
result = [(r * 255).astype("uint8") for r in result]
imageio.mimsave("video.mp4", result, fps=4)

You can change these parameters in the pipeline call:

• Motion field strength (see the paper, Sect. 3.3.1):
  • motion_field_strength_x and motion_field_strength_y. Default: motion_field_strength_x=12, motion_field_strength_y=12
• T and T' (see the paper, Sect. 3.3.1)
  • t0 and t1 in the range {0, ..., num_inference_steps}. Default: t0=45, t1=48
• Video length:
  • video_length, the number of frames video_length to be generated. Default: video_length=8

Text-To-Video with Pose Control

1. Download a demo video

   Copied

   from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
   
   filename = "__assets__/poses_skeleton_gifs/dance1_corr.mp4"
   repo_id = "PAIR/Text2Video-Zero"
   video_path = hf_hub_download(repo_type="space", repo_id=repo_id, filename=filename)

2. Read video containing extracted pose images

   Copied

   from PIL import Image
   import imageio
   
   reader = imageio.get_reader(video_path, "ffmpeg")
   frame_count = 8
   pose_images = [Image.fromarray(reader.get_data(i)) for i in range(frame_count)]

   To extract pose from actual video, read ControlNet documentation.

3. Run StableDiffusionControlNetPipeline with our custom attention processor

   import torch
   from diffusers import StableDiffusionControlNetPipeline, ControlNetModel
   from diffusers.pipelines.text_to_video_synthesis.pipeline_text_to_video_zero import CrossFrameAttnProcessor
   
   model_id = "runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5"
   controlnet = ControlNetModel.from_pretrained("lllyasviel/sd-controlnet-openpose", torch_dtype=torch.float16)
   pipe = StableDiffusionControlNetPipeline.from_pretrained(
       model_id, controlnet=controlnet, torch_dtype=torch.float16
   ).to("cuda")
   
   # Set the attention processor
   pipe.unet.set_attn_processor(CrossFrameAttnProcessor(batch_size=2))
   pipe.controlnet.set_attn_processor(CrossFrameAttnProcessor(batch_size=2))
   
   # fix latents for all frames
   latents = torch.randn((1, 4, 64, 64), device="cuda", dtype=torch.float16).repeat(len(pose_images), 1, 1, 1)
   
   prompt = "Darth Vader dancing in a desert"
