UniAnimate-DiT: Human Image Animation with Large-Scaled Video Diffusion Transformer

This repo contains checkpoints for UniAnimate-DiT. The model is described in the paper UniAnimate-DiT: Human Image Animation with Large-Scale Video Diffusion Transformer and Replace Anyone in Videos.

UniAnimate-Wan2.1-14B-Lora-12000.ckpt: the weights of LoRAs and additional learnable modules with 12000 training steps.
dw-ll_ucoco_384.onnx: dwpose model used for pose extraction.
yolox_l.onnx: model used for pose extraction.

UniAnimate-DiT

An expanded version of UniAnimate based on Wan2.1

UniAnimate-DiT is based on a state-of-the-art DiT-based Wan2.1-14B-I2V model for consistent human image animation. Wan2.1 is a collection of video synthesis models open-sourced by Alibaba. Our code is based on DiffSynth-Studio, thanks for the nice open-sourced project.

Getting Started with UniAnimate-DiT

(1) Installation

Before using this model, please create the conda environment and install DiffSynth-Studio from source code.

shell

conda create -n UniAnimate-Wan python=3.9.21
conda activate UniAnimate-Wan

# CUDA 11.8
pip install torch==2.5.0 torchvision==0.20.0 torchaudio==2.5.0 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118
# CUDA 12.1
pip install torch==2.5.0 torchvision==0.20.0 torchaudio==2.5.0 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121
# CUDA 12.4
pip install torch==2.5.0 torchvision==0.20.0 torchaudio==2.5.0 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu124

git clone https://github.com/ali-vilab/UniAnimate-DiT.git
cd UniAnimate-DiT
pip install -e .

UniAnimate-DiT supports multiple Attention implementations. If you have installed any of the following Attention implementations, they will be enabled based on priority.

Flash Attention 3
Flash Attention 2
Sage Attention
torch SDPA (default. torch>=2.5.0 is recommended.)

Inference

(2) Download the pretrained checkpoints

Download Wan2.1-14B-I2V-720P models using huggingface-cli:

pip install "huggingface_hub[cli]"
huggingface-cli download Wan-AI/Wan2.1-I2V-14B-720P --local-dir ./Wan2.1-I2V-14B-720P

Or download Wan2.1-14B-I2V-720P models using modelscope-cli:

pip install modelscope
modelscope download Wan-AI/Wan2.1-I2V-14B-720P --local_dir ./Wan2.1-I2V-14B-720P

Download pretrained UniAnimate-DiT models (only include the weights of lora and additional learnable modules):

pip install modelscope
modelscope download xiaolaowx/UniAnimate-DiT --local_dir ./checkpoints

Finally, the model weights will be organized in ./checkpoints/ as follows:

./checkpoints/
|---- dw-ll_ucoco_384.onnx
|---- UniAnimate-Wan2.1-14B-Lora-12000.ckpt
└---- yolox_l.onnx

(3) Pose alignment

Rescale the target pose sequence to match the pose of the reference image (you can also install pip install onnxruntime-gpu==1.18.1 for faster extraction on GPU.):

# reference image 1
python run_align_pose.py  --ref_name data/images/WOMEN-Blouses_Shirts-id_00004955-01_4_full.jpg --source_video_paths data/videos/source_video.mp4 --saved_pose_dir data/saved_pose/WOMEN-Blouses_Shirts-id_00004955-01_4_full 

# reference image 2
python run_align_pose.py  --ref_name data/images/musk.jpg --source_video_paths data/videos/source_video.mp4 --saved_pose_dir data/saved_pose/musk 

# reference image 3
python run_align_pose.py  --ref_name data/images/WOMEN-Blouses_Shirts-id_00005125-03_4_full.jpg --source_video_paths data/videos/source_video.mp4 --saved_pose_dir data/saved_pose/WOMEN-Blouses_Shirts-id_00005125-03_4_full

# reference image 4
python run_align_pose.py  --ref_name data/images/IMG_20240514_104337.jpg --source_video_paths data/videos/source_video.mp4 --saved_pose_dir data/saved_pose/IMG_20240514_104337

# reference image 5
python run_align_pose.py  --ref_name data/images/10.jpg --source_video_paths data/videos/source_video.mp4 --saved_pose_dir data/saved_pose/10

The processed target pose for demo videos will be in data/saved_pose. --ref_name denotes the path of reference image, --source_video_paths provides the source poses, --saved_pose_dir means the path of processed target poses.

(4) Run UniAnimate-Wan2.1-14B-I2V to generate 480P videos

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES="0" python examples/unianimate_wan/inference_unianimate_wan_480p.py

About 23G GPU memory is needed. After this, 81-frame video clips with 832x480 (hight x width) resolution will be generated under the ./outputs folder:

For long video generation, run the following comment:

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES="0" python examples/unianimate_wan/inference_unianimate_wan_long_video_480p.py

(5) Run UniAnimate-Wan2.1-14B-I2V to generate 720P videos

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES="0" python examples/unianimate_wan/inference_unianimate_wan_720p.py

About 36G GPU memory is needed. After this, 81-frame video clips with 1280x720 resolution will be generated:

Note: Even though our model was trained on 832x480 resolution, we observed that direct inference on 1280x720 is usually allowed and produces satisfactory results.

For long video generation, run the following comment:

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES="0" python examples/unianimate_wan/inference_unianimate_wan_long_video_720p.py

Train

We support UniAnimate-DiT training on our own dataset.

Step 1: Install additional packages

pip install peft lightning pandas
# deepspeed for multiple GPUs
pip install -U deepspeed

Step 2: Prepare your dataset

In order to speed up the training, we preprocessed the videos, extracted video frames and corresponding Dwpose in advance, and packaged them with pickle package. You need to manage the training data as follows:

data/example_dataset/
└── TikTok
    └── 00001_mp4
      ├── dw_pose_with_foot_wo_face.pkl # packaged Dwpose
      └── frame_data.pkl # packaged frames

We encourage adding large amounts of data to finetune models to get better results. The experimental results show that about 1000 training videos can finetune a good human image animation model.

Step 3: Train

For convenience, we do not pre-process VAE features, but put VAE pre-processing and DiT model training in a training script, and also facilitate data augmentation to improve performance. You can also choose to extract VAE features first and then conduct subsequent DiT model training.
