Introduction

EasyAnimate is a pipeline based on the transformer architecture, designed for generating AI images and videos, and for training baseline models and Lora models for Diffusion Transformer. We support direct prediction from pre-trained EasyAnimate models, allowing for the generation of videos with various resolutions, approximately 6 seconds in length, at 8fps (EasyAnimateV5, 1 to 49 frames). Additionally, users can train their own baseline and Lora models for specific style transformations.

We will support quick pull-ups from different platforms, refer to Quick Start.

2. Local install: Environment Check/Downloading/Installation

a. Environment Check

We have verified EasyAnimate execution on the following environment:

The detailed of Windows:

• OS: Windows 10
• python: python3.10 & python3.11
• pytorch: torch2.2.0
• CUDA: 11.8 & 12.1
• CUDNN: 8+
• GPU： Nvidia-3060 12G

The detailed of Linux:

• OS: Ubuntu 20.04, CentOS
• python: python3.10 & python3.11
• pytorch: torch2.2.0
• CUDA: 11.8 & 12.1
• CUDNN: 8+
• GPU：Nvidia-V100 16G & Nvidia-A10 24G & Nvidia-A100 40G & Nvidia-A100 80G

We need about 60GB available on disk (for saving weights), please check! The video size for EasyAnimateV5-12B can be generated by different GPU Memory, including:

✅ indicates it can run under "model_cpu_offload", 🧡 represents it can run under "model_cpu_offload_and_qfloat8", ⭕️ indicates it can run under "sequential_cpu_offload", ❌ means it can't run. Please note that running with sequential_cpu_offload will be slower.

Some GPUs that do not support torch.bfloat16, such as 2080ti and V100, require changing the weight_dtype in app.py and predict files to torch.float16 in order to run.

The generation time for EasyAnimateV5-12B using different GPUs over 25 steps is as follows:

(⭕️) indicates it can run with low_gpu_memory_mode=True, but at a slower speed, and ❌ means it can't run.

The video size for EasyAnimateV3 can be generated by different GPU Memory, including:

b. Weights

We'd better place the weights along the specified path:

EasyAnimateV5:

How to use

a. Using Python Code

• Step 1: Download the corresponding weights and place them in the models folder.
• Step 2: Modify prompt, neg_prompt, guidance_scale, and seed in the predict_t2v.py file.
• Step 3: Run the predict_t2v.py file, wait for the generated results, and save the results in the samples/easyanimate-videos folder.
• Step 4: If you want to combine other backbones you have trained with Lora, modify the predict_t2v.py and Lora_path in predict_t2v.py depending on the situation.

b. Using webui

• Step 1: Download the corresponding weights and place them in the models folder.
• Step 2: Run the app.py file to enter the graph page.
• Step 3: Select the generated model based on the page, fill in prompt, neg_prompt, guidance_scale, and seed, click on generate, wait for the generated result, and save the result in the samples folder.

c. From ComfyUI

Please refer to ComfyUI README for details.

d. GPU Memory Saving Schemes

Due to the large parameters of EasyAnimateV5, we need to consider GPU memory saving schemes to conserve memory. We provide a GPU_memory_mode option for each prediction file, which can be selected from model_cpu_offload, model_cpu_offload_and_qfloat8, and sequential_cpu_offload.

• model_cpu_offload indicates that the entire model will be offloaded to the CPU after use, saving some GPU memory.
• model_cpu_offload_and_qfloat8 indicates that the entire model will be offloaded to the CPU after use, and the transformer model is quantized to float8, saving even more GPU memory.
• sequential_cpu_offload means that each layer of the model will be offloaded to the CPU after use, which is slower but saves a substantial amount of GPU memory.

2. Model Training

A complete EasyAnimate training pipeline should include data preprocessing, Video VAE training, and Video DiT training. Among these, Video VAE training is optional because we have already provided a pre-trained Video VAE.

We have provided a simple demo of training the Lora model through image data, which can be found in the wiki for details.

A complete data preprocessing link for long video segmentation, cleaning, and description can refer to README in the video captions section.

If you want to train a text to image and video generation model. You need to arrange the dataset in this format.

│       └── 📄 json_of_internal_datasets.json

The json_of_internal_datasets.json is a standard JSON file. The file_path in the json can to be set as relative path, as shown in below:

[
    {
      "file_path": "train/00000001.mp4",
      "text": "A group of young men in suits and sunglasses are walking down a city street.",
      "type": "video"
    },
    {
      "file_path": "train/00000002.jpg",
      "text": "A group of young men in suits and sunglasses are walking down a city street.",
      "type": "image"
    },
    .....
]

You can also set the path as absolute path as follow:

[
    {
      "file_path": "/mnt/data/videos/00000001.mp4",
      "text": "A group of young men in suits and sunglasses are walking down a city street.",
      "type": "video"
    },
    {
      "file_path": "/mnt/data/train/00000001.jpg",
      "text": "A group of young men in suits and sunglasses are walking down a city street.",
      "type": "image"
    },
    .....
]

Video VAE training is an optional option as we have already provided pre trained Video VAEs. If you want to train video vae, you can refer to README in the video vae section.

If the data format is relative path during data preprocessing, please set scripts/train.sh as follow.

export DATASET_NAME="datasets/internal_datasets/"
export DATASET_META_NAME="datasets/internal_datasets/json_of_internal_datasets.json"

If the data format is absolute path during data preprocessing, please set scripts/train.sh as follow.

export DATASET_NAME=""
export DATASET_META_NAME="/mnt/data/json_of_internal_datasets.json"

Then, we run scripts/train.sh.

sh scripts/train.sh

For details on setting some parameters, please refer to Readme Train and Readme Lora.
