**Abstract:** *The remarkable efficacy of text-to-image diffusion models has motivated extensive exploration of their potential application in video domains.
Zero-shot methods seek to extend image diffusion models to videos without necessitating model training.
Recent methods mainly focus on incorporating inter-frame correspondence into attention mechanisms. However, the soft constraint imposed on determining where to attend to valid features can sometimes be insufficient, resulting in temporal inconsistency.
In this paper, we introduce FRESCO, intra-frame correspondence alongside inter-frame correspondence to establish a more robust spatial-temporal constraint. This enhancement ensures a more consistent transformation of semantically similar content across frames. Beyond mere attention guidance, our approach involves an explicit update of features to achieve high spatial-temporal consistency with the input video, significantly improving the visual coherence of the resulting translated videos.
Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed framework in producing high-quality, coherent videos, marking a notable improvement over existing zero-shot methods.*
**Features**:
- **Temporal consistency**: use intra-and inter-frame constraint with better consistency and coverage than optical flow alone.
- Compared with our previous work [Rerender-A-Video](https://github.com/williamyang1991/Rerender_A_Video), FRESCO is more robust to large and quick motion.
- **Zero-shot**: no training or fine-tuning required.
- **Flexibility**: compatible with off-the-shelf models (e.g., [ControlNet](https://github.com/lllyasviel/ControlNet), [LoRA](https://civitai.com/)) for customized translation.

- [03/2023] Code is released.
- [03/2024] This website is created.
### TODO
- [x] Integrate into Diffusers
- [x] Add Huggingface web demo
- [x] ~~Add webUI.~~
- [x] ~~Update readme~~
- [x] ~~Upload paper to arXiv, release related material~~
## Installation
1. Clone the repository.
```shell
git clone https://github.com/williamyang1991/FRESCO.git
cd FRESCO
```
2. You can simply set up the environment with pip based on [requirements.txt](https://github.com/williamyang1991/FRESCO/blob/main/requirements.txt)
- We have tested on torch 2.0.0/2.1.0 and diffusers 0.19.3
- If you use new versions of diffusers, you need to modify [my_forward()](https://github.com/williamyang1991/FRESCO/blob/fb991262615665de88f7a8f2cc903d9539e1b234/src/diffusion_hacked.py#L496)
3. Run the installation script. The required models will be downloaded in `./model`, `./src/ControlNet/annotator` and `./src/ebsynth/deps/ebsynth/bin`.
- Requires access to huggingface.co
```shell
python install.py
```
4. You can run the demo with `run_fresco.py`
```shell
python run_fresco.py ./config/config_music.yaml
```
5. For issues with Ebsynth, please refer to [issues](https://github.com/williamyang1991/Rerender_A_Video#issues)
## (1) Inference
### WebUI (recommended)
```
python webUI.py
```
The Gradio app also allows you to flexibly change the inference options. Just try it for more details.
Upload your video, input the prompt, select the model and seed, and hit:
- **Run Key Frames**: detect keyframes, translate all keyframes.
- **Run Propagation**: propagate the keyframes to other frames for full video translation
- **Run All**: **Run Key Frames** and **Run Propagation**
Select the model:
- **Base model**: base Stable Diffusion model (SD 1.5)
- Stable Diffusion 1.5: official model
- [rev-Animated](https://huggingface.co/stablediffusionapi/rev-animated): a semi-realistic (2.5D) model
- [realistic-Vision](https://huggingface.co/SG161222/Realistic_Vision_V2.0): a photo-realistic model
- [flat2d-animerge](https://huggingface.co/stablediffusionapi/flat-2d-animerge): a cartoon model
- You can add other models on huggingface.co by modifying this [line](https://github.com/williamyang1991/FRESCO/blob/1afcca9c7b1bc1ac68254f900be9bd768fbb6988/webUI.py#L362)

We provide abundant advanced options to play with
Advanced options for single frame processing
1. **Frame resolution**: resize the short side of the video to 512.
2. ControlNet related:
- **ControlNet strength**: how well the output matches the input control edges
- **Control type**: HED edge, Canny edge, Depth map
- **Canny low/high threshold**: low values for more edge details
3. SDEdit related:
- **Denoising strength**: repaint degree (low value to make the output look more like the original video)
- **Preserve color**: preserve the color of the original video
4. SD related:
- **Steps**: denoising step
- **CFG scale**: how well the output matches the prompt
- **Added prompt/Negative prompt**: supplementary prompts
5. FreeU related:
- **FreeU first/second-stage backbone factor**: =1 do nothing; >1 enhance output color and details
- **FreeU first/second-stage skip factor**: =1 do nothing; <1 enhance output color and details
Advanced options for FRESCO constraints
1. Keyframe related
- **Number of frames**: Total frames to be translated
- **Number of frames in a batch**: To avoid out-of-memory, use small batch size
- **Min keyframe interval (s_min)**: The keyframes will be detected at least every s_min frames
- **Max keyframe interval (s_max)**: The keyframes will be detected at most every s_max frames
2. FRESCO constraints
- FRESCO-guided Attention:
- **spatial-guided attention**: Check to enable spatial-guided attention
- **cross-frame attention**: Check to enable efficient cross-frame attention
- **temporal-guided attention**: Check to enable temporal-guided attention
- FRESCO-guided optimization:
- **spatial-guided optimization**: Check to enable spatial-guided optimization
- **temporal-guided optimization**: Check to enable temporal-guided optimization
3. **Background smoothing**: Check to enable background smoothing (best for static background)
Advanced options for the full video translation
1. **Gradient blending**: apply Poisson Blending to reduce ghosting artifacts. May slow the process and increase flickers.
2. **Number of parallel processes**: multiprocessing to speed up the process. Large value (4) is recommended.
