Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Out of Memory Errors:

# Enable all memory optimizations
pipe.enable_attention_slicing()
pipe.enable_vae_slicing()
pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload()

# Reduce generation parameters
num_frames=16  # Instead of 24
num_inference_steps=30  # Instead of 50

Slow Generation:

• Reduce num_inference_steps
• Use fewer frames
• Disable CPU offload if you have sufficient VRAM
• Consider FP8 variants for faster inference

Quality Issues:

• Increase num_inference_steps (50-75)
• Adjust guidance_scale (try 7.0-9.0)
• Improve prompt quality and specificity
• Ensure input image is high quality

Best Practices

1. Image Input: Use high-quality input images (1024x1024 or higher)
2. Prompts: Be specific about motion, lighting, and camera movement
3. Memory Management: Monitor VRAM usage and enable optimizations as needed
4. Experimentation: Test different schedulers and parameters for your use case
5. Responsible Use: Follow ethical AI guidelines and license terms
