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. ## Demos ### Demo Video: [](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wq93zi8bE3U "Demo Video of MotionDirector") ### Customize both Appearance and Motion:

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 ```bash 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](https://huggingface.co/ruizhaocv/MotionDirector_weights). Run the [download command](#download_weights), the weights will be downloaded to the folder `outputs`, then run the following inference command to generate videos. ### MotionDirector trained on multiple videos: ```bash 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. Results:
