Our method Text2Video-Zero enables zero-shot video generation using (i) a textual prompt (see rows 1, 2), (ii) a prompt combined with guidance from poses or edges (see lower right), and (iii) Video Instruct-Pix2Pix, i.e., instruction-guided video editing (see lower left).
Results are temporally consistent and follow closely the guidance and textual prompts.

- Install requirements using Python 3.9 and CUDA >= 11.6
virtualenv --system-site-packages -p python3.9 venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
To run inferences create an instance of Model
class
import torch
from model import Model
model = Model(device = "cuda", dtype = torch.float16)
To directly call our text-to-video generator, run this python command which stores the result in tmp/text2video/A_horse_galloping_on_a_street.mp4
:
prompt = "A horse galloping on a street"
params = {"t0": 44, "t1": 47 , "motion_field_strength_x" : 12, "motion_field_strength_y" : 12, "video_length": 8}
out_path, fps = f"./text2video_{prompt.replace(' ','_')}.mp4", 4
model.process_text2video(prompt, fps = fps, path = out_path, **params)
To use a different stable diffusion base model run this python command:
from hf_utils import get_model_list
model_list = get_model_list()
for idx, name in enumerate(model_list):
print(idx, name)
idx = int(input("Select the model by the listed number: ")) # select the model of your choice
model.process_text2video(prompt, model_name = model_list[idx], fps = fps, path = out_path, **params)
You can define the following hyperparameters:
-
Motion field strength:
motion_field_strength_x
=$\delta_x$ andmotion_field_strength_y
=$\delta_y$ (see our paper, Sect. 3.3.1). Default:motion_field_strength_x=motion_field_strength_y= 12
. -
$T$ and$T'$ (see our paper, Sect. 3.3.1). Define valuest0
andt1
in the range{0,...,50}
. Default:t0=44
,t1=47
(DDIM steps). Corresponds to timesteps881
and941
, respectively. -
Video length: Define the number of frames
video_length
to be generated. Default:video_length=8
.
To directly call our text-to-video generator with pose control, run this python command:
prompt = 'an astronaut dancing in outer space'
motion_path = '__assets__/poses_skeleton_gifs/dance1_corr.mp4'
out_path = f"./text2video_pose_guidance_{prompt.replace(' ','_')}.gif"
model.process_controlnet_pose(motion_path, prompt=prompt, save_path=out_path)
To directly call our text-to-video generator with edge control, run this python command:
prompt = 'oil painting of a deer, a high-quality, detailed, and professional photo'
video_path = '__assets__/canny_videos_mp4/deer.mp4'
out_path = f'./text2video_edge_guidance_{prompt}.mp4'
model.process_controlnet_canny(video_path, prompt=prompt, save_path=out_path)
You can define the following hyperparameters for Canny edge detection:
-
low threshold. Define value
low_threshold
in the range$(0, 255)$ . Default:low_threshold=100
. -
high threshold. Define value
high_threshold
in the range$(0, 255)$ . Default:high_threshold=200
. Make sure thathigh_threshold
>low_threshold
.
You can give hyperparameters as arguments to model.process_controlnet_canny
Load a dreambooth model then proceed as described in Text-To-Video with Edge Guidance
prompt = 'your prompt'
video_path = 'path/to/your/video'
dreambooth_model_path = 'path/to/your/dreambooth/model'
out_path = f'./text2video_edge_db_{prompt}.gif'
model.process_controlnet_canny_db(dreambooth_model_path, video_path, prompt=prompt, save_path=out_path)
The value video_path
can be the path to a mp4
file. To use one of the example videos provided, set video_path="woman1"
, video_path="woman2"
, video_path="woman3"
, or video_path="man1"
.
The value dreambooth_model_path
can either be a link to a diffuser model file, or the name of one of the dreambooth models provided. To this end, set dreambooth_model_path = "Anime DB"
, dreambooth_model_path = "Avatar DB"
, dreambooth_model_path = "GTA-5 DB"
, or dreambooth_model_path = "Arcane DB"
. The corresponding keywords are: 1girl
(for Anime DB
), arcane style
(for Arcane DB
) avatar style
(for Avatar DB
) and gtav style
(for GTA-5 DB
).
To load custom Dreambooth models, transfer control to the custom model and convert it to diffuser format. Then, the value of dreambooth_model_path
must link to the folder containing the diffuser file. Dreambooth models can be obtained, for instance, from CIVITAI.
To perform pix2pix video editing, run this python command:
prompt = 'make it Van Gogh Starry Night'
video_path = '__assets__/pix2pix video/camel.mp4'
out_path = f'./video_instruct_pix2pix_{prompt}.mp4'
model.process_pix2pix(video_path, prompt=prompt, save_path=out_path)
To directly call our text-to-video generator with depth control, run this python command:
prompt = 'oil painting of a deer, a high-quality, detailed, and professional photo'
video_path = '__assets__/depth_videos/deer.mp4'
out_path = f'./text2video_depth_control_{prompt}.mp4'
model.process_controlnet_depth(video_path, prompt=prompt, save_path=out_path)
Each of the above introduced interface can be run in a low memory setup. In the minimal setup, a GPU with 12 GB VRAM is sufficient.
To reduce the memory usage, add chunk_size=k
as additional parameter when calling one of the above defined inference APIs. The integer value k
must be in the range {2,...,video_length}
. It defines the number of frames that are processed at once (without any loss in quality). The lower the value the less memory is needed.
When using the gradio app, set chunk_size
in the Advanced options
.
Thanks to the great work of Token Merging, the memory usage can be further reduced. It can be configured using the merging_ratio
parameter with values in [0,1]
. The higher the value, the more compression is applied (leading to faster inference and less memory requirements). Be aware that too high values will decrease the image quality.
We plan to continue optimizing our code to enable even lower memory consumption.
To replicate the ablation study, add additional parameters when calling the above defined inference APIs.
- To deactivate
cross-frame attention
: Adduse_cf_attn=False
to the parameter list. - To deactivate enriching latent codes with
motion dynamics
: Adduse_motion_field=False
to the parameter list.
Note: Adding smooth_bg=True
activates background smoothing. However, our code does not include the salient object detector necessary to run that code.

# load stable diffusion model weights
model_id = "runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5"
# create a TextToVideoZero pipeline
pipe = TextToVideoZeroPipeline.from_pretrained(model_id, torch_dtype=torch.float16).to("cuda")
# define the text prompt
prompt = "A panda is playing guitar on times square"
# generate the video using our pipeline
result = pipe(prompt=prompt).images
result = [(r * 255).astype("uint8") for r in result]
# save the resulting image
imageio.mimsave("video.mp4", result, fps=4)
