🔆 Introduction

🤗🤗🤗 LongerCrafter (FreeNoise) is a tuning-free and time-efficient paradigm for longer video generation based on pretrained video diffusion models.

1. Longer Single-Prompt Text-to-video Generation

Longer single-prompt results. Resolution: 256 x 256; Frames: 512. (Compressed)

2. Longer Multi-Prompt Text-to-video Generation

Longer multi-prompt results. Resolution: 256 x 256; Frames: 256. (Compressed)

📝 Changelog

[2023.10.24]: 🔥🔥 Release the LongerCrafter (FreeNoise), longer video generation!
[2023.10.25]: 🔥🔥 Release the 256x256 model and support multi-prompt generation!

🧰 Models

Model	Resolution	Checkpoint	Description
VideoCrafter (Text2Video)	320x512	Temporarily Unavailable	Support 128 frames on NVIDIA A100 (40GB)
VideoCrafter (Text2Video)	576x1024	Hugging Face	Support 64 frames on NVIDIA A100 (40GB)
VideoCrafter (Text2Video)	256x256	Hugging Face	Support 512 frames on NVIDIA A100 (40GB)

(Reduce the number of frames when you have smaller GPUs, e.g. 256x256 resolutions with 64 frames.)

⚙️ Setup

Install Environment via Anaconda (Recommended)

conda create -n freenoise python=3.8.5
conda activate freenoise
pip install -r requirements.txt

💫 Inference

1. Longer Text-to-Video

Download pretrained T2V models via Hugging Face, and put the model.ckpt in checkpoints/base_1024_v1/model.ckpt.
Input the following commands in terminal.

  sh scripts/run_text2video_freenoise_1024.sh

2. Longer Multi-Prompt Text-to-Video

Download pretrained T2V models via Hugging Face, and put the model.pth in checkpoints/base_256_v1/model.pth.
Input the following commands in terminal.

  sh scripts/run_text2video_freenoise_mp_256.sh

FreeNoise is supposed to work on other similar frameworks. An easy way to test compatibility is by shuffling the noise to see whether a new similar video can be generated (set eta to 0). If your have any questions about applying FreeNoise to other frameworks, feel free to contact Haonan Qiu.
