Configuration

Configuration#

Multi-GPU Setup#

FastVideo automatically distributes the generation process when multiple GPUs are specified:

# Will use 4 GPUs in parallel for faster generation
generator = VideoGenerator.from_pretrained(
    "Wan-AI/Wan2.1-T2V-1.3B-Diffusers",
    num_gpus=4,
)

Customizing Generation#

  • PipelineConfig: Initialization time parameters

  • SamplingParam: Generation time parameters

You can customize various parameters when generating videos using the PipelineConfig and SamplingParam class:

from fastvideo import VideoGenerator, SamplingParam, PipelineConfig

def main():
    model_name = "Wan-AI/Wan2.1-T2V-1.3B-Diffusers"
    config = PipelineConfig.from_pretrained(model_name)
    config.vae_precision = "fp16"
    config.use_cpu_offload = True

    # Create the generator
    generator = VideoGenerator.from_pretrained(
        model_name,
        num_gpus=1,
        pipeline_config=config
    )

    # Create and customize sampling parameters
    sampling_param = SamplingParam.from_pretrained("Wan-AI/Wan2.1-T2V-1.3B-Diffusers")
    
    # How many frames to generate
    sampling_param.num_frames = 45
    
    # Video resolution (width, height)
    sampling_param.width = 1024
    sampling_param.height = 576
    
    # How many steps we denoise the video (higher = better quality, slower generation)
    sampling_param.num_inference_steps = 30
    
    # How strongly the video conforms to the prompt (higher = more faithful to prompt)
    sampling_param.guidance_scale = 7.5
    
    # Random seed for reproducibility
    sampling_param.seed = 42  # Optional, leave unset for random results

    # Generate video with custom parameters
    prompt = "A beautiful sunset over a calm ocean, with gentle waves."
    video = generator.generate_video(
        prompt, 
        sampling_param=sampling_param, 
        output_path="my_videos/",  # Controls where videos are saved
        return_frames=True,  # Also return frames from this call (defaults to False)
        save_video=True
    )

    # If return_frames=True, video contains the generated frames as a NumPy array
    print(f"Generated {len(video)} frames")

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
