CogVideoX-Fun LoRA Fine-tuning Training Guide

This document provides a complete guide for CogVideoX-Fun LoRA fine-tuning training, including environment configuration, data preparation, multiple distributed training strategies, and inference testing.

Note

: CogVideoX-Fun is a video generation model that supports Text-to-Video (T2V), Image-to-Video (I2V), and Video-to-Video (V2V). This guide covers the LoRA fine-tuning training process, suitable for custom dataset fine-tuning scenarios.

2. Data Preparation

2.1 Quick Test Dataset

We provide a test dataset containing several training samples.

# Download official example dataset
modelscope download --dataset PAI/X-Fun-Videos-Demo --local_dir ./datasets/X-Fun-Videos-Demo

2.2 Dataset Structure

📦 datasets/
├── 📂 my_dataset/
│   ├── 📂 train/
│   │   ├── 📄 video001.mp4
│   │   ├── 📄 video002.mp4
│   │   └── 📄 ...
│   └── 📄 metadata.json

2.3 metadata.json Format

Relative Path Format (example format):

[
  {
    "file_path": "train/video001.mp4",
    "text": "A beautiful sunset over the ocean, golden hour lighting",
    "type": "video",
    "width": 1024,
    "height": 1024
  },
  {
    "file_path": "train/video002.mp4",
    "text": "A person walking through a forest, cinematic view",
    "type": "video",
    "width": 1328,
    "height": 1328
  }
]

Absolute Path Format:

[
  {
    "file_path": "/mnt/data/videos/sunset.mp4",
    "text": "A beautiful sunset over the ocean",
    "type": "video",
    "width": 1024,
    "height": 1024
  }
]

Key Field Descriptions:

  • file_path: Video path (relative or absolute path)
  • text: Video description (English prompt)
  • type: Data type, fixed as "video"
  • width / height: Video width and height (recommended to provide, used for bucket training; if not provided, they will be automatically read during training, which may affect training speed when data is stored on slow systems like OSS).
    • You can use scripts/process_json_add_width_and_height.py to extract width and height from JSON files without these fields, supporting both images and videos.
    • Usage: python scripts/process_json_add_width_and_height.py --input_file datasets/X-Fun-Videos-Demo/metadata.json --output_file datasets/X-Fun-Videos-Demo/metadata_add_width_height.json.

2.4 Relative Path vs Absolute Path Usage

Relative Path:

If your data uses relative paths, configure in the training script:

export DATASET_NAME="datasets/X-Fun-Videos-Demo/"
export DATASET_META_NAME="datasets/X-Fun-Videos-Demo/metadata_add_width_height.json"

Absolute Path:

If your data uses absolute paths, configure in the training script:

export DATASET_NAME=""
export DATASET_META_NAME="/mnt/data/metadata_add_width_height.json"

💡 Recommendation: If the dataset is small and stored locally, relative paths are recommended. If the dataset is stored on external storage (e.g., NAS, OSS) or shared across multiple machines, absolute paths are recommended.


3. LoRA Training

3.1 Download Pre-trained Model

# Create model directory
mkdir -p models/Diffusion_Transformer

# Download CogVideoX-Fun official weights
modelscope download --model PAI/CogVideoX-Fun-2b-InP --local_dir models/Diffusion_Transformer/CogVideoX-Fun-2b-InP

3.2 Quick Start (DeepSpeed-Zero-2)

If you have downloaded the data following Section 2.1 Quick Test Dataset and the weights following Section 3.1 Download Pre-trained Model, you can directly copy the quick start instructions to launch training.

DeepSpeed-Zero-2 and FSDP are recommended for training. Here we use DeepSpeed-Zero-2 as an example to configure the shell file.

The difference between DeepSpeed-Zero-2 and FSDP lies in whether model weights are sharded. If you run out of VRAM when using multiple GPUs with DeepSpeed-Zero-2, you can switch to FSDP for training.

Sample Size Configuration Guide:

  • video_sample_size represents the resolution size of videos; when random_hw_adapt is True, it represents the minimum value between video and image resolutions.
  • image_sample_size represents the resolution size of images; when random_hw_adapt is True, it represents the maximum value between video and image resolutions.
  • token_sample_size represents the resolution corresponding to the maximum token length when training_with_video_token_length is True.
  • Due to potential confusion in configuration, if you don't require arbitrary resolution for finetuning, it is recommended to set video_sample_size, image_sample_size, and token_sample_size to the same fixed value, such as (320, 480, 512, 640, 960).
    • All set to 320 represents 240P.
    • All set to 480 represents 320P.
    • All set to 640 represents 480P.
    • All set to 960 represents 720P.

Token Length Training Explanation:

  • When training_with_video_token_length is enabled, the model trains based on token length.
  • For example: A video with 512x512 resolution and 49 frames has a token length of 13,312, requiring token_sample_size = 512.
    • At 512x512 resolution, the number of video frames is 49 (~= 512 * 512 * 49 / 512 / 512).
    • At 768x768 resolution, the number of video frames is 21 (~= 512 * 512 * 49 / 768 / 768).
    • At 1024x1024 resolution, the number of video frames is 9 (~= 512 * 512 * 49 / 1024 / 1024).
    • These resolutions combined with their corresponding frame counts allow the model to generate videos of different sizes.

Training Mode Guide:

  • train_mode="inpaint": Default mode for CogVideoX-Fun, uses inpaint model to achieve image-to-video and video-to-video generation.
  • train_mode="normal": Standard text-to-video mode. Remove this parameter or set to normal if you only want text-to-video generation.

3.4 Training Validation

You can configure validation parameters to regularly generate test videos during training, allowing you to monitor training progress and model quality.

Validation Parameter Descriptions:

Parameter Description Recommended Value
--validation_steps Run validation every N steps 2000
--validation_epochs Run validation every N epochs 5
--validation_prompts Prompts for validation video generation, can separate multiple prompts with spaces Multiple space-separated prompts

Example:

  --validation_steps=100 \
  --validation_epochs=100 \
  --validation_prompts="A dog is shaking head. The video is of high quality, and the view is very clear. High quality, masterpiece, best quality, highres, ultra-detailed, fantastic."

Notes:

  • Validation videos will be saved in the output_dir directory.
  • Multiple prompts validation format: --validation_prompts "prompt1" "prompt2" "prompt3"

3.5 Training with FSDP

If you run out of VRAM when using multiple GPUs with DeepSpeed-Zero-2, you can switch to FSDP for training.

3.7.2 Multi-Machine Training Considerations

  • Network Requirements:

    • RDMA/InfiniBand recommended (high performance)
    • Without RDMA, add environment variables:
      export NCCL_IB_DISABLE=1
      export NCCL_P2P_DISABLE=1
      
  • Data Synchronization: All machines must be able to access the same data path (NFS/shared storage)

4.5 Multi-GPU Parallel Inference

Suitable for: High-resolution generation, accelerated inference

Install Parallel Inference Dependencies

pip install xfuser==0.4.2 yunchang==0.6.2

Configure Parallel Strategy

Edit examples/cogvideox_fun/predict_t2v.py, examples/cogvideox_fun/predict_i2v.py, or examples/cogvideox_fun/predict_v2v.py:

# Ensure ulysses_degree × ring_degree = number of GPUs
# For example, using 2 GPUs:
ulysses_degree = 2  # Head dimension parallelism
ring_degree = 1     # Sequence dimension parallelism

Configuration Principles:

  • ulysses_degree must be evenly divisible by the model's number of heads
  • ring_degree splits along the sequence dimension and affects communication overhead; try to avoid it when heads are evenly divisible

Configuration Examples:

GPU Count ulysses_degree ring_degree Description
1 1 1 Single GPU
4 4 1 Head parallelism
8 8 1 Head parallelism
8 4 2 Hybrid parallelism
