💻 Usage Examples

Single GPU Inference

Diffusion Forcing for Long Video Generation

The Diffusion Forcing version model allows us to generate Infinite - Length videos. This model supports both text - to - video (T2V) and image - to - video (I2V) tasks, and it can perform inference in both synchronous and asynchronous modes. Here we demonstrate 2 running scripts as examples for long video generation. If you want to adjust the inference parameters, e.g., the duration of video, inference mode, read the Note below first.

Basic Usage

# synchronous generation for 10s video
model_id=Skywork/SkyReels-V2-DF-14B-540P
# synchronous inference
python3 generate_video_df.py \
  --model_id ${model_id} \
  --resolution 540P \
  --ar_step 0 \
  --base_num_frames 97 \
  --num_frames 257 \
  --overlap_history 17 \
  --prompt "A graceful white swan with a curved neck and delicate feathers swimming in a serene lake at dawn, its reflection perfectly mirrored in the still water as mist rises from the surface, with the swan occasionally dipping its head into the water to feed." \
  --addnoise_condition 20 \
  --offload \
  --teacache \
  --use_ret_steps \
  --teacache_thresh 0.3

Advanced Usage

# asynchronous generation for 30s video
model_id=Skywork/SkyReels-V2-DF-14B-540P
# asynchronous inference
python3 generate_video_df.py \
  --model_id ${model_id} \
  --resolution 540P \
  --ar_step 5 \
  --causal_block_size 5 \
  --base_num_frames 97 \
  --num_frames 737 \
  --overlap_history 17 \
  --prompt "A graceful white swan with a curved neck and delicate feathers swimming in a serene lake at dawn, its reflection perfectly mirrored in the still water as mist rises from the surface, with the swan occasionally dipping its head into the water to feed." \
  --addnoise_condition 20 \
  --offload

⚠️ Important Note

• If you want to run the image - to - video (I2V) task, add --image ${image_path} to your command and it is also better to use text - to - video (T2V) - like prompt which includes some descriptions of the first - frame image.
• For long video generation, you can just switch the --num_frames, e.g., --num_frames 257 for 10s video, --num_frames 377 for 15s video, --num_frames 737 for 30s video, --num_frames 1457 for 60s video. The number is not strictly aligned with the logical frame number for specified time duration, but it is aligned with some training parameters, which means it may perform better. When you use asynchronous inference with causal_block_size > 1, the --num_frames should be carefully set.
• You can use --ar_step 5 to enable asynchronous inference. When asynchronous inference, --causal_block_size 5 is recommended while it is not supposed to be set for synchronous generation. REMEMBER that the frame latent number inputted into the model in every iteration, e.g., base frame latent number (e.g., (97 - 1)//4+1 = 25 for base_num_frames = 97) and (e.g., (237 - 97-(97 - 17)x1+17 - 1)//4+1 = 20 for base_num_frames = 97, num_frames = 237, overlap_history = 17) for the last iteration, MUST be divided by causal_block_size. If you find it too hard to calculate and set proper values, just use our recommended setting above :). Asynchronous inference will take more steps to diffuse the whole sequence which means it will be SLOWER than synchronous mode. In our experiments, asynchronous inference may improve the instruction following and visual consistent performance.
• To reduce peak VRAM, just lower the --base_num_frames, e.g., to 77 or 57, while keeping the same generative length --num_frames you want to generate. This may slightly reduce video quality, and it should not be set too small.
• --addnoise_condition is used to help smooth the long video generation by adding some noise to the clean condition. Too large noise can cause the inconsistency as well. 20 is a recommended value, and you may try larger ones, but it is recommended to not exceed 50.
• Generating a 540P video using the 1.3B model requires approximately 14.7GB peak VRAM, while the same resolution video using the 14B model demands around 51.2GB peak VRAM.

Text To Video & Image To Video

# run Text - to - Video Generation
model_id=Skywork/SkyReels-V2-T2V-14B-540P
python3 generate_video.py \
  --model_id ${model_id} \
  --resolution 540P \
  --num_frames 97 \
  --guidance_scale 6.0 \
  --shift 8.0 \
  --fps 24 \
  --prompt "A serene lake surrounded by towering mountains, with a few swans gracefully gliding across the water and sunlight dancing on the surface." \
  --offload \
  --teacache \
  --use_ret_steps \
  --teacache_thresh 0.3

⚠️ Important Note

• When using an image - to - video (I2V) model, you must provide an input image using the --image ${image_path} parameter. The --guidance_scale 5.0 and --shift 3.0 is recommended for I2V model.
• Generating a 540P video using the 1.3B model requires approximately 14.7GB peak VRAM, while the same resolution video using the 14B model demands around 43.4GB peak VRAM.

Prompt Enhancer

The prompt enhancer is implemented based on Qwen2.5 - 32B - Instruct and is utilized via the --prompt_enhancer parameter. It works ideally for short prompts, while for long prompts, it might generate an excessively lengthy prompt that could lead to over - saturation in the generative video. Note the peak memory of GPU is 64G+ if you use --prompt_enhancer. If you want to obtain the enhanced prompt separately, you can also run the prompt_enhancer script separately for testing. The steps are as follows:

cd skyreels_v2_infer/p
