# WAN 2.1 Camera Control LoRAs (FP8)

Memory-efficient FP8 camera motion control LoRA adapters for WAN (World Animation Network) video generation models. These rank-16 LoRAs enable precise control over camera movements including rotation, arc shots, and drone-style cinematography with 50% reduced memory footprint compared to FP16.

## Model Description

This repository contains three specialized LoRA adapters stored in FP8 precision, designed to enhance video generation with professional camera movement patterns:

- **Camera Rotation**: Enables smooth 360° orbital camera movements around subjects
- **Arc Shot**: Creates cinematic arc/dolly movements for dynamic scene transitions
- **Drone Shot**: Simulates aerial drone cinematography with elevation and forward motion

These LoRAs are trained at rank-16 for optimal balance between parameter efficiency and motion quality control. All models use FP8 (8-bit floating-point) precision, offering significantly reduced VRAM usage while maintaining high-quality camera motion control.

### FP8 Advantages

- **50% Memory Reduction**: FP8 uses half the VRAM compared to FP16 models
- **Faster Loading**: Reduced file size means faster model loading times
- **Similar Quality**: Minimal quality degradation compared to FP16 for camera motion
- **Better Accessibility**: Enables use on GPUs with limited VRAM (8-12 GB)

from transformers import T5EncoderModel

# Load base WAN model with FP8 optimization
pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(
    "HunyuanVideo/HunyuanVideo",
    torch_dtype=torch.float8_e4m3fn,  # FP8 precision
    variant="fp8"
)
pipe.to("cuda")

# Load camera rotation LoRA (FP8)
pipe.load_lora_weights(
    "E:\\huggingface\\wan21-fp8-loras\\loras\\wan",
    weight_name="wan21-camera-rotation-rank16-v1.safetensors"
)

# Generate video with camera rotation
prompt = "A majestic lion sitting on a rock, cinematic lighting, 4k"
video = pipe(
    prompt=prompt,
    num_frames=48,
    height=512,
    width=512,
    num_inference_steps=50,
    guidance_scale=7.5,
    cross_attention_kwargs={"scale": 0.8}  # LoRA strength
).frames

# Save video
from diffusers.utils import export_to_video
export_to_video(video, "output_rotation.mp4", fps=8)
```

### FP8 Memory-Optimized Pipeline

```python
import torch
from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline

# Configure for maximum memory efficiency
pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(
    "HunyuanVideo/HunyuanVideo",
    torch_dtype=torch.float8_e4m3fn,
    variant="fp8"
)

# Enable aggressive memory optimizations for FP8
pipe.enable_attention_slicing()
pipe.enable_vae_tiling()
pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload()  # Offload to CPU when not in use

pipe.to("cuda")

# Load arc shot LoRA
pipe.load_lora_weights(
    "E:\\huggingface\\wan21-fp8-loras\\loras\\wan",
    weight_name="wan21-camera-arcshot-rank16-v1.safetensors"
)

# Generate high-resolution video on limited VRAM
video = pipe(
    prompt="A bustling city street at sunset, cinematic arc shot",
    num_frames=64,
    height=768,
    width=1344,
    num_inference_steps=50,
    cross_attention_kwargs={"scale": 0.7}
).frames

export_to_video(video, "city_arcshot.mp4", fps=12)
```

### Switching Between Camera LoRAs (FP8)

```python
# Unload current LoRA
pipe.unload_lora_weights()

# Load drone shot LoRA
pipe.load_lora_weights(
    "E:\\huggingface\\wan21-fp8-loras\\loras\\wan",
    weight_name="wan21-camera-drone-rank16-v1.safetensors"
)

# Generate aerial footage
video = pipe(
    prompt="Aerial view of a mountain valley, rising drone shot, golden hour",
    num_frames=64,
    height=768,
    width=1344,
    cross_attention_kwargs={"scale": 0.8}
).frames

export_to_video(video, "drone_aerial.mp4", fps=12)
```

### Adjusting LoRA Strength

```python
# Subtle camera movement (scale: 0.3-0.5)
video = pipe(
    prompt="Static scene with subtle camera drift",
    cross_attention_kwargs={"scale": 0.4}
).frames

# Standard camera movement (scale: 0.6-0.8)
video = pipe(
    prompt="Dynamic scene with smooth camera motion",
    cross_attention_kwargs={"scale": 0.7}
).frames

# Dramatic camera movement (scale: 0.9-1.0)
video = pipe(
    prompt="Action scene with aggressive camera work",
    cross_attention_kwargs={"scale": 1.0}
).frames
```

### Combining Multiple LoRAs (FP8 Enables This on Limited VRAM)

```python
# FP8's memory efficiency allows combining multiple LoRAs
pipe.load_lora_weights(
    "E:\\huggingface\\wan21-fp8-loras\\loras\\wan\\wan21-camera-rotation-rank16-v1.safetensors",
    adapter_name="rotation"
)

# Load additional style or quality LoRA
pipe.load_lora_weights(
    "path/to/style_lora_fp8.safetensors",
    adapter_name="style"
)

# Set adapter weights for combined effect
pipe.set_adapters(["rotation", "style"], adapter_weights=[0.7, 0.5])

video = pipe(
    prompt="Cinematic scene with rotating camera and artistic style",
    num_frames=48,
    height=512,
    width=512
).frames
```

## Performance Tips and Optimization

### FP8-Specific Optimizations

**Memory Efficiency**:
```python
# Maximum memory savings for FP8
pipe.enable_attention_slicing()
pipe.enable_vae_tiling()
pipe.enable_vae_slicing()
pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload()  # For 8 GB VRAM GPUs

# Alternatively, use sequential CPU offload for extreme memory constraints
pipe.enable_sequential_cpu_offload()
```

**Quality Preservation**:
```python
# Maintain quality with FP8 by using more inference steps
video = pipe(
    prompt="Your prompt here",
    num_inference_steps=60,  # Increase from default 50
    guidance_scale=8.0,      # Slightly higher guidance
    cross_attention_kwargs={"scale": 0.75}
).frames
```

### LoRA Strength Guidelines
- Start with `scale=0.7` as baseline for most scenes
- FP8 may benefit from slightly higher scales (0.75-0.85) vs FP16
- Reduce to `0.4-0.6` for subtle, naturalistic camera work
- Increase to `0.9-1.0` for dramatic, stylized movements

### Quality Optimization
- Use higher resolution (768x1344 or 1024x1024) for smoother motion
- Increase `num_inference_steps` to 60-80 for better quality with FP8
- Generate more frames (64-96) for longer, smoother sequences
- Use `guidance_scale` 7.5-9 for balanced prompt adherence

### VRAM Usage Comparison

| Configuration | FP16 | FP8 | Savings |
|--------------|------|-----|---------|
| 512x512, 48 frames | ~10 GB | ~6 GB | 40% |
| 768x1344, 64 frames | ~18 GB | ~10 GB | 44% |
| With VAE tiling | ~8 GB | ~5 GB | 38% |
| Multiple LoRAs | ~12 GB | ~7 GB | 42% |

### Batch Processing (FP8 Efficiency)

```python
# Process multiple prompts efficiently with FP8
prompts = [
    "Mountain landscape, drone rising shot",
    "City street, rotating camera view",
    "Forest scene, cinematic arc shot"
]

# FP8 allows processing without clearing cache as often
for i, prompt in enumerate(prompts):
    video = pipe(
        prompt=prompt,
        num_frames=48,
        cross_attention_kwargs={"scale": 0.7}
    ).frames
    export_to_video(video, f"output_{i}.mp4", fps=8)

    # Optional: Clear cache every few iterations if needed
    if i % 3 == 0:
        torch.cuda.empty_cache()
```

## FP8 vs FP16 Comparison

### When to Use FP8
✅ Limited VRAM (8-12 GB GPUs)
✅ Need to combine multiple LoRAs
✅ Higher resolution generation on mid-range hardware
✅ Faster iteration during experimentation
✅ Batch processing multiple videos

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

**Issue**: "Out of memory" error during inference with FP8
- **Solution**: Enable all memory optimizations (attention slicing, VAE tiling, CPU offload)
- **Solution**: Reduce resolution to 512x512 or frames to 32-48
- **Solution**: Use `enable_sequential_cpu_offload()` for extreme memory constraints

**Issue**: Camera movement too subtle or not visible with FP8
- **Solution**: Increase LoRA `scale` parameter to 0.8-0.9 (slightly higher than FP16)
- **Solution**: Use more inference steps (60-80) to compensate for FP8 precision

**Issue**: Quality degradation compared to FP16
- **Solution**: Increase `num_inference_steps` to 70-80
- **Solution**: Slightly increase `guidance_scale` to 8-9
- **Solution**: Use higher resolution if VRAM allows

**Issue**: FP8 not supported on my GPU
- **Solution**: FP8 inference works on most modern NVIDIA GPUs; ensure latest PyTorch and transformers
- **Solution**: For older GPUs, models will auto-convert to FP16 (with higher VRAM usage)

**Issue**: LoRA not loading correctly
- **Solution**: Verify file path uses double backslashes for Windows: `E:\\huggingface\\...`
- **Solution**: Ensure base model compatibility and diffusers version >= 0.21.0
- **Solution**: Check that `torch_dtype=torch.float8_e4m3fn` is supported

### Performance Optimization Tips

1. **First Generation Slow**: First inference is slower due to model compilation; subsequent generations are faster
2. **Memory Spikes**: Use `torch.cuda.empty_cache()` between generations if experiencing memory issues
3. **Quality vs Speed**: Balance `num_inference_steps` (quality) vs generation time based on needs
4. **Resolution Scaling**: Start at 512x512, scale up only if VRAM and quality requirements allow

### Support

For technical issues, bug reports, or feature requests:
- Check FP8 hardware compatibility first
- Verify PyTorch and transformers versions support FP8
- Open an issue on the model repository
- Check existing discussions and documentation
- Ensure you're using compatible versions of diffusers (>=0.21.0) and PyTorch (>=2.1.0)
