# Inference Quick Start
This page contains step-by-step instructions to get you quickly started with video generation using FastVideo.
## Requirements
- **OS**: Linux (tested on Ubuntu 22.04+), or macOS on Apple silicon via the
[MPS installation guide](../getting_started/installation/mps.md)
- **Python**: 3.10-3.12
- **CUDA**: 12.6 or 13.0 (NVIDIA GPUs)
- **GPU**: At least one NVIDIA GPU, or an Apple silicon chip with MPS
## Installation
If you previously used Conda, we recommend using [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) instead for a faster and more stable environment setup:
```bash
# Create and activate a new uv environment
uv venv --python 3.12 --seed
source .venv/bin/activate
# Install FastVideo
UV_TORCH_BACKEND=cu126 uv pip install fastvideo
```
Use `UV_TORCH_BACKEND=cu130` instead on CUDA 13.
For advanced installation options, see the [Installation Guide](../getting_started/installation.md).
## Generating Your First Video
Here's a minimal example to generate a video using the default settings. Create a file called `example.py` with the following code:
```python
from fastvideo import VideoGenerator
def main():
# Create a video generator with a pre-trained model
generator = VideoGenerator.from_pretrained(
"Wan-AI/Wan2.1-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
```
The generated video will be saved in the current directory under `my_videos/`
More inference scripts and recipes can be found in `examples/inference/` and
`scripts/inference/`.
## Available Models
Please see the [support matrix](support_matrix.md) for the list of supported models and their available optimizations.
## Image-to-Video Generation
You can generate a video starting from an initial image:
```python
from fastvideo import VideoGenerator, SamplingParam
def main():
# Create the generator
model_name = "Wan-AI/Wan2.1-I2V-14B-480P-Diffusers"
generator = VideoGenerator.from_pretrained(model_name, num_gpus=1)
# Set up parameters with an initial image
sampling_param = SamplingParam.from_pretrained(model_name)
sampling_param.image_path = "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/diffusers/astronaut.jpg"
sampling_param.num_frames = 107
# Generate video based on the image
prompt = "A photograph coming to life with gentle movement"
generator.generate_video(prompt, sampling_param=sampling_param,
output_path="my_videos/",
save_video=True)
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
```
## Troubleshooting
Common issues and their solutions:
### Out of Memory Errors
If you encounter CUDA out of memory errors:
- Reduce `num_frames` or video resolution
- Enable FastVideo offloading options such as `dit_layerwise_offload=True`
(single GPU) or `use_fsdp_inference=True` (multi-GPU)
- Try a smaller model or use distilled versions
- Use `num_gpus` > 1 if multiple GPUs are available
- Try enabling FSDP inference with `use_fsdp_inference=True` (may slow down generation)
- Try enabling DiT layerwise offload with `dit_layerwise_offload=True` (now only a few models support this, but may introduce less overhead than FSDP)
### Slow Generation
To speed up generation:
- Reduce `num_inference_steps` (20-30 is usually sufficient)
- Use half precision (`fp16`) for the VAE
- Use multiple GPUs if available
### Unexpected Results
If the generated video doesn't match your prompt:
- Try increasing `guidance_scale` (7.0-9.0 works well)
- Make your prompt more detailed and specific
- Experiment with different random seeds
- Try a different model
