MotionDirector can customize text-to-video diffusion models to generate videos with desired motions.

Task Definition

Motion Customization of Text-to-Video Diffusion Models: Given a set of video clips of the same motion concept, the task of Motion Customization is to adapt existing text-to-video diffusion models to generate diverse videos with this motion.

Setup

Requirements

# create virtual environment
conda create -n motiondirector python=3.8
conda activate motiondirector
# install packages
pip install -r requirements.txt

Weights of Foundation Models

git lfs install
## You can choose the ModelScopeT2V or ZeroScope, etc., as the foundation model.
## ZeroScope
git clone https://huggingface.co/cerspense/zeroscope_v2_576w ./models/zeroscope_v2_576w/
## ModelScopeT2V
git clone https://huggingface.co/damo-vilab/text-to-video-ms-1.7b ./models/model_scope/

Weights of trained MotionDirector

# Make sure you have git-lfs installed (https://git-lfs.com)
git lfs install
git clone https://huggingface.co/ruizhaocv/MotionDirector_weights ./outputs

# More and better trained MotionDirector are released at a new repo:
git clone https://huggingface.co/ruizhaocv/MotionDirector ./outputs
# The usage is slightly different, which will be updated later.

Usage

Training

Train MotionDirector on multiple videos:

python MotionDirector_train.py --config ./configs/config_multi_videos.yaml

Train MotionDirector on a single video:

python MotionDirector_train.py --config ./configs/config_single_video.yaml

Note:

• Before running the above command, make sure you replace the path to foundational model weights and training data with your own in the config files config_multi_videos.yaml or config_single_video.yaml.
• Generally, training on multiple 16-frame videos usually takes 300~500 steps, about 9~16 minutes using one A5000 GPU. Training on a single video takes 50~150 steps, about 1.5~4.5 minutes using one A5000 GPU. The required VRAM for training is around 14GB.
• Reduce n_sample_frames if your GPU memory is limited.
• Reduce the learning rate and increase the training steps for better performance.

Inference

python MotionDirector_inference.py --model /path/to/the/foundation/model  --prompt "Your prompt" --checkpoint_folder /path/to/the/trained/MotionDirector --checkpoint_index 300 --noise_prior 0.

Note:

• Replace /path/to/the/foundation/model with your own path to the foundation model, like ZeroScope.
• The value of checkpoint_index means the checkpoint saved at which the training step is selected.
• The value of noise_prior indicates how much the inversion noise of the reference video affects the generation. We recommend setting it to 0 for MotionDirector trained on multiple videos to achieve the highest diverse generation, while setting it to 0.1~0.5 for MotionDirector trained on a single video for faster convergence and better alignment with the reference video.

Inference with pre-trained MotionDirector

All available weights are at official Huggingface Repo. Run the download command, the weights will be downloaded to the folder outputs, then run the following inference command to generate videos.

MotionDirector trained on multiple videos:

python MotionDirector_inference.py --model /path/to/the/ZeroScope  --prompt "A person is riding a bicycle past the Eiffel Tower." --checkpoint_folder ./outputs/train/riding_bicycle/ --checkpoint_index 300 --noise_prior 0. --seed 7192280

Note:

• Replace /path/to/the/ZeroScope with your own path to the foundation model, i.e. the ZeroScope.
• Change the prompt to generate different videos.
• The seed is set to a random value by default. Set it to a specific value will obtain certain results, as provided in the table below.
