conda create -n vgen python=3.8
conda activate vgen
pip install torch==1.12.0+cu113 torchvision==0.13.0+cu113 torchaudio==0.12.0 --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu113
pip install -r requirements.txt -i https://pypi.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/simple
You also need to ensure that your system has installed the ffmpeg
command. If it is not installed, you can install it using the following command:
sudo apt-get update && apt-get install ffmpeg libsm6 libxext6 -y
We have provided a demo dataset that includes images and videos, along with their lists in data
.
Please note that the demo images used here are for testing purposes and were not included in the training.
git clone https://github.com/ali-vilab/VGen.git
cd VGen
Executing the following command to enable distributed training is as easy as that.
python train_net.py --cfg configs/t2v_train.yaml
In the t2v_train.yaml
configuration file, you can specify the data, adjust the video-to-image ratio using frame_lens
, and validate your ideas with different Diffusion settings, and so on.
- Before the training, you can download any of our open-source models for initialization. Our codebase supports custom initialization and
grad_scale
settings, all of which are included in thePretrain
item in yaml file. - During the training, you can view the saved models and intermediate inference results in the
workspace/experiments/t2v_train
directory.
After the training is completed, you can perform inference on the model using the following command.
python inference.py --cfg configs/t2v_infer.yaml
Then you can find the videos you generated in the workspace/experiments/test_img_01
directory. For specific configurations such as data, models, seed, etc., please refer to the t2v_infer.yaml
file.
If you want to directly load our previously open-sourced Modelscope T2V model, please refer to this link.
(i) Download model and test data:
!pip install modelscope
from modelscope.hub.snapshot_download import snapshot_download
model_dir = snapshot_download('damo/I2VGen-XL', cache_dir='models/', revision='v1.0.0')
or you can also download it through HuggingFace (https://huggingface.co/damo-vilab/i2vgen-xl):
# Make sure you have git-lfs installed (https://git-lfs.com)
git lfs install
git clone https://huggingface.co/damo-vilab/i2vgen-xl
(ii) Run the following command:
python inference.py --cfg configs/i2vgen_xl_infer.yaml
or you can run:
python inference.py --cfg configs/i2vgen_xl_infer.yaml test_list_path data/test_list_for_i2vgen.txt test_model models/i2vgen_xl_00854500.pth
The test_list_path
represents the input image path and its corresponding caption. Please refer to the specific format and suggestions within demo file data/test_list_for_i2vgen.txt
. test_model
is the path for loading the model. In a few minutes, you can retrieve the high-definition video you wish to create from the workspace/experiments/test_list_for_i2vgen
directory. At present, we find that the current model performs inadequately on anime images and images with a black background due to the lack of relevant training data. We are consistently working to optimize it.
(iii) Run the gradio app locally:
python gradio_app.py
(iv) Run the model on ModelScope and HuggingFace:

Our DreamVideo uses ModelScopeT2V V1.5
as the base video diffusion model. ModelScopeT2V V1.5 is further fine-tuned on ModelScopeT2V for 365k iterations with more data.
!pip install modelscope
from modelscope.hub.snapshot_download import snapshot_download
model_dir = snapshot_download('iic/dreamvideo-t2v', cache_dir='models/')
Then you might need the following command to move the checkpoints to the "models/" directory:
mv ./models/iic/dreamvideo-t2v/* ./models/
Or you can download the checkpoint of ModelScopeT2V V1.5 and adapter weights of DreamVideo from this link.
(i) Subject Learning
Step 1: learn a textual identity using Textual Inversion.
python train_net.py --cfg configs/dreamvideo/subjectLearning/dog2_subjectLearning_step1.yaml
Step 2: train an identity adapter by incorporating the learned textual identity.
python train_net.py --cfg configs/dreamvideo/subjectLearning/dog2_subjectLearning_step2.yaml
Tips:
- Generally, step 1 takes
1500 to 3000
training steps, and step 2 takes500 to 1000
training steps. For certain subjects (like cats, etc.), excessive training may generate unnatural videos, and using text embedding with fewer training steps or reducing the training steps of step 2 may help. - For some subjects (like dogs, etc.), setting
use_mask_diffusion
toTrue
may achieve better results. Make sure to put the binary masks of the subject into the folderdata/images/custom/YOUR_SUBJECT/masks
, and you can use SAM to obtain these masks.
(ii) Motion Learning
Train a motion adapter on the given videos.
python train_net.py --cfg configs/dreamvideo/motionLearning/carTurn_motionLearning.yaml
You can customize your own configuration files for subject/motion learning.
Tips:
- Generally, motion learning takes
500 to 2000
training steps. - Try setting
p_image_zero
from0 to 0.5
to adjust the effect of appearance guidance during training. - Try increasing training steps or increasing the learning rate for single video motion customization to better align the motion pattern.
(i) Subject Customization
python inference.py --cfg configs/dreamvideo/infer/subject_dog2.yaml
(ii) Motion Customization
python inference.py --cfg configs/dreamvideo/infer/motion_carTurn.yaml
For inference with appearance guidance, make sure to add images of foreground objects (e.g., any image of a bear) to the folder data/images/motionReferenceImgs
and modify your test file.
Tips:
- Try setting
appearance_guide_strength_cond
andappearance_guide_strength_uncond
from0 to 1
to adjust the effect of appearance guidance during inference. - We do not use DDIM Inversion by default. However, for single video motion customization, you can try setting
inverse_noise_strength
to0~0.5
to better align the training video. For multi-video motion customization, we recommend settinginverse_noise_strength
to0
.
(iii) Joint Customization
python inference.py --cfg configs/dreamvideo/infer/joint_dog2_carTurn.yaml
Tips:
- Try changing
identity_adapter_index
andmotion_adapter_index
for better results. Typically, increasing identity_adapter_index improves identity preservation, while increasing motion_adapter_index enhances motion alignment. Balance the two for optimal results.
We provide some examples for inference. Before you start, make sure you download the models.
(i) Subject Customization
python inference.py --cfg configs/dreamvideo/infer/examples/subject_dog2.yaml
python inference.py --cfg configs/dreamvideo/infer/examples/subject_wolf_plushie.yaml
Subject | Generated Video | Subject | Generated Video |
|
|
|
|
dog | "a * eating pizza" seed: 2767 |
wolf plushie | "a * running in the forest" seed: 2339 |
(ii) Motion Customization
python inference.py --cfg configs/dreamvideo/infer/examples/motion_carTurn.yaml

(i) Download model:
!pip install modelscope
from modelscope.hub.snapshot_download import snapshot_download
model_dir = snapshot_download('iic/tf-t2v', cache_dir='models/')
Then you might need the following command to move the checkpoints to the "models/" directory:
mv ./models/iic/tf-t2v/* ./models/
(ii) We provide a config file for generating 16-frame video with 448x256 resolution. The command is as follows:
python inference.py --cfg configs/tft2v_t2v_infer.yaml
(If there are environmental problems during operation, we also provide the environment configuration "tft2v_environment.yaml" of TF-T2V for your reference.)
In a few minutes, you can retrieve the videos you wish to create from the workspace/experiments/text_list_for_tft2v
directory.
Then you can execute the following command to perform super-resolution on the generated videos:
