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

This repository is the official PyTorch implementation of [LaVie](https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.15103).

**LaVie** is a Text-to-Video (T2V) generation framework, and main part of video generation system [Vchitect](http://vchitect.intern-ai.org.cn/).

## Installation
```
conda env create -f environment.yml 
conda activate lavie
```

## Download Pre-Trained models
Download [pre-trained models](https://huggingface.co/YaohuiW/LaVie/tree/main), [stable diffusion 1.4](https://huggingface.co/CompVis/stable-diffusion-v1-4/tree/main), [stable-diffusion-x4-upscaler](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-x4-upscaler/tree/main) to `./pretrained_models`.

## Inference
The inference contains **Base T2V**, **Video Interpolation** and **Video Super-Resolution** three steps. We provide several options to generate videos:
* **Step1**: 320 x 512 resolution, 16 frames
* **Step1+Step2**: 320 x 512 resolution, 61 frames
* **Step1+Step3**: 1280 x 2048 resolution, 16 frames
* **Step1+Step2+Step3**: 1280 x 2048 resolution, 61 frames

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
```
Edit `text_prompt` in `configs/sample.yaml` to change prompt, results will be saved under `./res/base`. 

### 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`. Smiliar 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`.
