# Speed Optimization & Broadcasting Fix
## πŸ› 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 (1920Γ—1080) than `res_image` (775Γ—837), 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:** βœ… Fixed in app_hf_spaces.py

## ⚑ Speed Optimization Analysis
### Current Performance
- **Generation time:** 2-5 minutes per video
- **GPU:** ZeroGPU (Nvidia A100 40GB, time-shared)
- **Current settings:**
- Resolution: 512Γ—512
- Inference steps: 20
- Max frames: 100
- Frame rate: 30 fps
### Why It's Slow
#### 1. **ZeroGPU Time-Sharing** ⏱️
- **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** 🧠
- **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** 🎬
- **Multiple passes:** Pose extraction β†’ Generation β†’ Compositing
- **Background blending:** Mask operations on each frame
- **Occlusion handling:** Additional processing for templates with occlusion masks

## πŸš€ Speed Optimization Options
### Option 1: Current Settings (Balanced) ⭐ RECOMMENDED
**Status:** Already implemented
```python
Resolution: 512Γ—512
Inference steps: 20
Max frames: 100
Quality: Good
Speed: 2-5 minutes
```
**Pros:**
- βœ… Good quality
- βœ… Reasonable speed
- βœ… Works within ZeroGPU limits
**Cons:**
- ⚠️ Still takes a few minutes
- ⚠️ Queue time unpredictable
---
### Option 2: Faster Settings (Speed Priority) ⚑
**Reduce frames and steps further**
```python
Resolution: 512Γ—512
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:**
- βœ… 30-40% faster
- βœ… Still acceptable quality
**Cons:**
- ⚠️ Slightly lower quality
- ⚠️ Shorter videos (2 seconds at 30fps)
---
### Option 3: Ultra-Fast Settings (Demo Mode) πŸƒ
**Minimal settings for quick demos**
```python
Resolution: 384Γ—384 # Smaller
Inference steps: 10 # Fewer steps
Max frames: 30 # 1 second video
Quality: Lower
Speed: 30-60 seconds
```
**Pros:**
- βœ… Very fast
- βœ… Good for testing/demos
**Cons:**
- ❌ Noticeably lower quality
- ❌ Very short videos
