# EasyAnimate
[EasyAnimate](https://github.com/aigc-apps/EasyAnimate) by Alibaba PAI.

The description from it's GitHub page:
*EasyAnimate is a pipeline based on the transformer architecture, designed for generating AI images and videos, and for training baseline models and Lora models for Diffusion Transformer. We support direct prediction from pre-trained EasyAnimate models, allowing for the generation of videos with various resolutions, approximately 6 seconds in length, at 8fps (EasyAnimateV5.1, 1 to 49 frames). Additionally, users can train their own baseline and Lora models for specific style transformations.*

This pipeline was contributed by [bubbliiiing](https://github.com/bubbliiiing). The original codebase can be found [here](https://huggingface.co/alibaba-pai). The original weights can be found under [hf.co/alibaba-pai](https://huggingface.co/alibaba-pai).

There are two official EasyAnimate checkpoints for text-to-video and video-to-video.

There are two official EasyAnimate checkpoints available for control-to-video.

For the EasyAnimateV5.1 series:
- Text-to-video (T2V) and Image-to-video (I2V) works for multiple resolutions. The width and height can vary from 256 to 1024.
- Both T2V and I2V models support generation with 1~49 frames and work best at this value. Exporting videos at 8 FPS is recommended.

## Quantization

Quantization helps reduce the memory requirements of very large models by storing model weights in a lower precision data type. However, quantization may have varying impact on video quality depending on the video model.

Refer to the [Quantization](../../quantization/overview) overview to learn more about supported quantization backends and selecting a quantization backend that supports your use case. The example below demonstrates how to load a quantized [`EasyAnimatePipeline`] for inference with bitsandbytes.

```py
import torch
from diffusers import BitsAndBytesConfig as DiffusersBitsAndBytesConfig, EasyAnimateTransformer3DModel, EasyAnimatePipeline
from diffusers.utils import export_to_video

quant_config = DiffusersBitsAndBytesConfig(load_in_8bit=True)
transformer_8bit = EasyAnimateTransformer3DModel.from_pretrained(
    "alibaba-pai/EasyAnimateV5.1-12b-zh",
    subfolder="transformer",
    quantization_config=quant_config,
    dtype=torch.float16,
)

pipeline = EasyAnimatePipeline.from_pretrained(
    "alibaba-pai/EasyAnimateV5.1-12b-zh",
    transformer=transformer_8bit,
    dtype=torch.float16,
    device_map="balanced",
)

prompt = "A cat walks on the grass, realistic style."
negative_prompt = "bad detailed"
video = pipeline(prompt=prompt, negative_prompt=negative_prompt, num_frames=49, num_inference_steps=30).frames[0]
export_to_video(video, "cat.mp4", fps=8)
```
