| # Speed Optimization & Broadcasting Fix | |
| ## π Fixed: Occlusion Mask Broadcasting Error | |
| ### Problem | |
| ``` | |
| ValueError: operands could not be broadcast together with shapes (775,837,3) (1920,1080,1) | |
| ``` | |
| ### Root Cause | |
| The `vid_image` array had different dimensions (1920Γ1080) than `res_image` (775Γ837), causing broadcasting failure when applying occlusion masks. | |
| ### Solution | |
| Added dimension matching by resizing `vid_image` before blending: | |
| ```python | |
| # Resize vid_image to match res_image dimensions | |
| if vid_image.shape[:2] != res_image.shape[:2]: | |
| vid_image = cv2.resize(vid_image, (res_image.shape[1], res_image.shape[0]), interpolation=cv2.INTER_LINEAR) | |
| ``` | |
| **Status:** β Fixed in app_hf_spaces.py | |

| ## β‘ Speed Optimization Analysis | |
| ### Current Performance | |
| - **Generation time:** 2-5 minutes per video | |
| - **GPU:** ZeroGPU (Nvidia A100 40GB, time-shared) | |
| - **Current settings:** | |
| - Resolution: 512Γ512 | |
| - Inference steps: 20 | |
| - Max frames: 100 | |
| - Frame rate: 30 fps | |
| ### Why It's Slow | |
| #### 1. **ZeroGPU Time-Sharing** β±οΈ | |
| - **Not a dedicated GPU** - shared across many users | |
| - **Queue time:** Can add 30-120 seconds before your job starts | |
| - **Time limits:** 120 seconds max per generation | |
| - **Cold starts:** Model loading takes 30-60 seconds first time | |
| #### 2. **Model Complexity** π§ | |
| - **Large models:** ~8GB total (VAE, UNet3D, CLIP, etc.) | |
| - **Diffusion process:** 20 denoising steps per frame | |
| - **Context windows:** Processes frames in batches with overlap | |
| #### 3. **Video Processing** π¬ | |
| - **Multiple passes:** Pose extraction β Generation β Compositing | |
| - **Background blending:** Mask operations on each frame | |
| - **Occlusion handling:** Additional processing for templates with occlusion masks | |

| ## π Speed Optimization Options | |
| ### Option 1: Current Settings (Balanced) β RECOMMENDED | |
| **Status:** Already implemented | |
| ```python | |
| Resolution: 512Γ512 | |
| Inference steps: 20 | |
| Max frames: 100 | |
| Quality: Good | |
| Speed: 2-5 minutes | |
| ``` | |
| **Pros:** | |
| - β Good quality | |
| - β Reasonable speed | |
| - β Works within ZeroGPU limits | |
| **Cons:** | |
| - β οΈ Still takes a few minutes | |
| - β οΈ Queue time unpredictable | |
| --- | |
| ### Option 2: Faster Settings (Speed Priority) β‘ | |
| **Reduce frames and steps further** | |
| ```python | |
| Resolution: 512Γ512 | |
| Inference steps: 15 # Down from 20 | |
| Max frames: 60 # Down from 100 | |
| Quality: Acceptable | |
| Speed: 1-3 minutes | |
| ``` | |
| **Implementation:** | |
| ```python | |
| # In app_hf_spaces.py line ~967 | |
| steps = 15 if HAS_SPACES else 20 # Faster on HF | |
| # Line ~937 | |
| MAX_FRAMES = 60 if HAS_SPACES else 150 # Shorter videos | |
| ``` | |
| **Pros:** | |
| - β 30-40% faster | |
| - β Still acceptable quality | |
| **Cons:** | |
| - β οΈ Slightly lower quality | |
| - β οΈ Shorter videos (2 seconds at 30fps) | |
| --- | |
| ### Option 3: Ultra-Fast Settings (Demo Mode) π | |
| **Minimal settings for quick demos** | |
| ```python | |
| Resolution: 384Γ384 # Smaller | |
| Inference steps: 10 # Fewer steps | |
| Max frames: 30 # 1 second video | |
| Quality: Lower | |
| Speed: 30-60 seconds | |
| ``` | |
| **Pros:** | |
| - β Very fast | |
| - β Good for testing/demos | |
| **Cons:** | |
| - β Noticeably lower quality | |
| - β Very short videos | |
