**FastVideo is a unified post-training and inference framework for accelerated video generation.**
FastVideo features an end-to-end unified pipeline for accelerating diffusion models, starting from data preprocessing to model training, finetuning, distillation, and inference. FastVideo is designed to be modular and extensible, allowing users to easily add new optimizations and techniques. Whether it is training-free optimizations or post-training optimizations, FastVideo has you covered.

## Getting Started
We recommend using an environment manager such as `Conda` to create a clean environment:
```bash
# Create and activate a new conda environment
conda create -n fastvideo python=3.12
conda activate fastvideo
# Install FastVideo
pip install fastvideo
```
Please see our [docs](https://hao-ai-lab.github.io/FastVideo/getting_started/installation/) for more detailed installation instructions.
## Sparse Distillation
For our sparse distillation techniques, please see our [distillation docs](https://hao-ai-lab.github.io/FastVideo/distillation/dmd/) and check out our [blog](https://hao-ai-lab.github.io/blogs/fastvideo_post_training/).

## Inference
### Generating Your First Video
Here's a minimal example to generate a video using the default settings. Make sure VSA kernels are [installed](https://hao-ai-lab.github.io/FastVideo/video_sparse_attention/installation/). Create a file called `example.py` with the following code:
```python
import os
from fastvideo import VideoGenerator
def main():
os.environ["FASTVIDEO_ATTENTION_BACKEND"] = "VIDEO_SPARSE_ATTN"
# Create a video generator with a pre-trained model
generator = VideoGenerator.from_pretrained(
"FastVideo/FastWan2.1-T2V-1.3B-Diffusers",
num_gpus=1, # Adjust based on your hardware
)
# Define a prompt for your video
prompt = "A curious raccoon peers through a vibrant field of yellow sunflowers, its eyes wide with interest."
# Generate the video
video = generator.generate_video(
prompt,
return_frames=True, # Also return frames from this call (defaults to False)
output_path="my_videos/", # Controls where videos are saved
save_video=True
)
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
```
Run the script with:
```bash
python example.py
```
