## Getting Started

We recommend using [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) to create a clean environment. If you previously used Conda, switching to uv generally gives faster and more stable installs.

```bash
# Create and activate a new uv environment
uv venv --python 3.12 --seed
source .venv/bin/activate

# Install FastVideo
uv 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/attention/vsa/#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,
        output_path="my_videos/",  # Controls where videos are saved
        save_video=True
    )

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
```

Run the script with:

```bash
python example.py
```
