Now you can generate high-resolution videos on SDXL with/without personalized models. Checkpoint with better quality would be available soon. Stay tuned.

Somethings Important

Generate videos with high-resolution (we provide recommended ones) as SDXL usually leads to worse quality for low-resolution images.
Quality strongly depends on the sampler and #sampling stepes (we use EulerDiscrete sampler for 100 steps). Be careful.
Follow and slightly adjust the hyperparameters (e.g., #sampling steps, #guidance scale) of various personalized SDXL since these models are carefully tuned to various extent.

We demonstrate some results with our model. The GIFs below are manually downsampled after generation for fast loading.

Original SDXL

LoRA

Model：DynaVision

Model：DreamShaper

Model：DeepBlue

Inference Example

Inference at recommended resolution of 16 frames usually requires ~13GB VRAM.

Step-1: Prepare Environment

git clone https://github.com/guoyww/AnimateDiff.git
cd AnimateDiff
git checkout sdxl


conda env create -f environment.yaml
conda activate animatediff_xl

Step-2: Download Base T2I & Motion Module Checkpoints

We provide a beta version of motion module on SDXL. You can download the base model of SDXL 1.0 and Motion Module following instructions below.

git lfs install
git clone https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0 models/StableDiffusion/

bash download_bashscripts/0-MotionModule.sh

You may also directly download the motion module checkpoints from Google Drive / HuggingFace / CivitAI, then put them in models/Motion_Module/ folder.

Step-3: Download Personalized SDXL (you can skip this if generating videos on the original SDXL)

You may run the following bash scripts to download the LoRA checkpoint from CivitAI.

bash download_bashscripts/1-DynaVision.sh
bash download_bashscripts/2-DreamShaper.sh
bash download_bashscripts/3-DeepBlue.sh

Step-4: Generate Videos

Run the following commands to generate videos of original SDXL.

python -m scripts.animate --exp_config configs/prompts/1-original_sdxl.yaml --H 1024 --W 1024 --L 16 --xformers

Run the following commands to generate videos of personalized SDXL. DO NOT skip Step-3.

python -m scripts.animate --config configs/prompts/2-DynaVision.yaml --H 1024 --W 1024 --L 16 --xformers
python -m scripts.animate --config configs/prompts/3-DreamShaper.yaml --H 1024 --W 1024 --L 16 --xformers
python -m scripts.animate --config configs/prompts/4-DeepBlue.yaml --H 1024 --W 1024 --L 16 --xformers

The results will automatically be saved to samples/ folder.

Customized Inference

To generate videos with a new Checkpoint/LoRA model, you may create a new config .yaml file in the following format:


motion_module_path: "models/Motion_Module/mm_sdxl_v10_beta.ckpt" # Specify the Motion Module

# We support 3 types of T2I models. 
  # 1. Checkpoint: a safetensors model contains UNet, Text_Encoders, VAE.
  # 2. LoRA: a safetensors model contains only the LoRA modules. 
  # 3. You can convert the Checkpoint into a folder with the same structure as SDXL_1.0 base model.
  

ckpt_path: "YOUR_CKPT_PATH" # path to the checkpoint type model from CivitAI.
lora_path: "YOUR_LORA_PATH" # path to the LORA type model from CivitAI.
base_model_path: "YOUR_BASE_MODEL_PATH" # path to the folder converted from a checkpoint


steps:          50
guidance_scale: 8.5

seed: -1 # You can specify seed for each prompt.

prompt:
  - "[positive prompt]"

n_prompt:
  - "[negative prompt]"

Then run the following commands.

python -m scripts.animate --exp_config [path to the personalized config] --L [video frames] --H [Height of the videos] --W [Width of the videos] --xformers
