pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(
    "lightx2v/lightx2v-t2v-14b",
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="auto"
)

pipe.load_lora_weights(
    "E:/huggingface/wan21-lightx2v-t2v-14b-720p/loras/wan/wan21-lightx2v-t2v-14b-cfg-step-distill-v2-rank32-bf16.safetensors"
)

# Generate 720p video from text prompt
prompt = "A serene mountain landscape at sunset with golden light, cinematic camera movement, 720p HD quality"

video = pipe(
    prompt=prompt,
    num_inference_steps=20,      # Reduced steps thanks to distillation
    guidance_scale=7.5,
    num_frames=24,               # ~3 seconds at 8 fps
    height=720,
    width=1280
).frames

# Export video file
from diffusers.utils import export_to_video
export_to_video(video, "output_720p.mp4", fps=8)
```

### Rank Selection and Comparison

```python
import os

# Base path to LoRA adapters
LORA_PATH = "E:/huggingface/wan21-lightx2v-t2v-14b-720p/loras/wan"

# Select rank based on your hardware and quality needs
# Options: 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256
rank = 32  # Recommended starting point

lora_file = f"{LORA_PATH}/wan21-lightx2v-t2v-14b-cfg-step-distill-v2-rank{rank}-bf16.safetensors"
pipe.load_lora_weights(lora_file)

# Generate video
video = pipe(
    prompt="Aerial drone shot rising above misty forest at sunrise, cinematic 720p quality",
    num_inference_steps=20,
    num_frames=24
).frames

export_to_video(video, f"output_rank{rank}.mp4", fps=8)
```

### Testing Multiple Ranks

```python
# Compare different ranks to find optimal balance for your use case
ranks_to_test = [16, 32, 64, 128]

for rank in ranks_to_test:
    print(f"Testing rank {rank}...")

    lora_file = f"{LORA_PATH}/wan21-lightx2v-t2v-14b-cfg-step-distill-v2-rank{rank}-bf16.safetensors"
    pipe.load_lora_weights(lora_file)

        prompt="Lightning storm over desert landscape, dramatic clouds, cinematic 720p",
        num_inference_steps=20,
        num_frames=24
    ).frames

    export_to_video(video, f"comparison_rank{rank}.mp4", fps=8)
```

# For systems with limited VRAM
pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(
    "lightx2v/lightx2v-t2v-14b",
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
)

# Enable CPU offloading to reduce VRAM usage
pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload()

## ⚡ Performance Tips and Optimization

### Speed Optimization
```python
# 1. Use lower ranks for faster generation
pipe.load_lora_weights("...rank16-bf16.safetensors")

# 2. Reduce inference steps (distilled model enables this)
video = pipe(prompt, num_inference_steps=15)  # Instead of 20-25

# 3. Enable torch.compile() for PyTorch 2.0+
pipe.unet = torch.compile(pipe.unet, mode="reduce-overhead", fullgraph=True)

# 4. Reduce frame count for faster iteration
video = pipe(prompt, num_frames=16)  # ~2 seconds instead of 3

# 5. Use mixed precision
torch.set_float32_matmul_precision('high')
```

### Quality Optimization
```python
# 1. Use higher ranks for maximum quality
pipe.load_lora_weights("...rank128-bf16.safetensors")

# 2. Increase inference steps
video = pipe(prompt, num_inference_steps=25)

# 3. Tune CFG scale for your prompt
video = pipe(prompt, guidance_scale=7.5)  # 6.5-8.0 range

# 4. Add quality keywords to prompt
prompt = "A majestic eagle soaring, cinematic camera movement, 720p HD quality, professional cinematography"

# 5. Generate multiple candidates and select best
for i in range(3):
    video = pipe(prompt).frames
    export_to_video(video, f"candidate_{i}.mp4", fps=8)
```

### Memory Optimization
```python
# 1. Enable CPU offloading
pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload()

# 2. Use sequential CPU offload for extreme constraints
pipe.enable_sequential_cpu_offload()

# 3. Lower rank selection
pipe.load_lora_weights("...rank8-bf16.safetensors")

# 4. Clear cache between generations
torch.cuda.empty_cache()

# 5. Use attention slicing
pipe.enable_attention_slicing()
```

### CFG Step Distillation Benefits
- **Faster inference**: 15-25 steps vs 50-100 (2-3x speedup)
- **Maintained quality**: Distillation preserves output fidelity
- **Better guidance**: Optimized CFG behavior for prompt adherence
- **Consistency**: More stable across different CFG scale values
- **Lower cost**: Reduced compute requirements per generation

## 🎨 Prompting Best Practices

### Text-to-Video (T2V) Prompting

**Essential Elements**:
1. **Subject**: Clear description of main content
2. **Camera movement**: Specify motion style and direction
3. **Lighting/atmosphere**: Time of day, mood, lighting quality
4. **Quality modifiers**: Include "720p", "HD", "cinematic"
5. **Temporal dynamics**: Motion speed, transitions

### Example Prompts for 720p

```
"A majestic eagle soaring through mountain valleys at golden hour, cinematic camera movement following the bird, 720p HD quality, professional wildlife cinematography"

"City street time-lapse with traffic flowing, neon lights reflecting on wet pavement, camera slowly panning right, high detail, 720p resolution, urban cinematography"

"Underwater coral reef with tropical fish swimming, gentle camera movement, clear blue water, sunlight filtering from above, smooth motion, cinematic 720p quality"

"Drone shot rising above a misty forest at sunrise, rays of light breaking through trees, smooth camera ascent, aerial cinematography, HD quality 720p"

"Lightning storm over desert landscape, dramatic clouds, time-lapse motion, cinematic wide shot, 720p quality, epic natural phenomenon"

"Cherry blossom petals falling in slow motion, gentle breeze, soft pink lighting, camera tracking downward, beautiful spring scene, 720p HD quality"
```

### Camera Movement Keywords
- **Basic**: "camera pans left/right", "camera tilts up/down"
- **Dynamic**: "dolly zoom", "tracking shot", "crane shot", "steadicam"
- **Aerial**: "drone shot", "aerial view", "bird's eye view", "flyover"
- **Complex**: "orbit around subject", "slow push-in", "reveal shot"

### Temporal Keywords
- **Speed**: "slow motion", "time-lapse", "real-time", "gradual"
- **Transitions**: "smooth transition", "gradual change", "progressive"
- **Motion**: "gentle movement", "dynamic action", "flowing motion"

### Quality Modifiers
- "720p HD quality", "high detail", "cinematic", "professional"
- "crisp", "clear", "sharp focus", "high fidelity"
- "broadcast quality", "production grade"

## 🔧 Troubleshooting

### Out of Memory (OOM) Errors

**Solutions**:
```python
# 1. Use lower rank adapter
pipe.load_lora_weights("...rank16-bf16.safetensors")  # or rank8, rank4

# 2. Enable CPU offloading
pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload()

# 3. Reduce frame count
video = pipe(prompt, num_frames=16)  # Instead of 24

# 4. Enable attention slicing
pipe.enable_attention_slicing()

# 5. Use sequential CPU offload (extreme cases)
pipe.enable_sequential_cpu_offload()

# 6. Clear CUDA cache between generations
import torch
torch.cuda.empty_cache()
```

### Poor Quality Results

**Diagnose and Fix**:
- **Issue**: Blurry or low-detail output
  - **Solution**: Increase rank (try 64, 128, or 256)
  - **Solution**: Add "720p HD quality, high detail" to prompt

- **Issue**: Inconsistent motion or artifacts
  - **Solution**: Adjust CFG scale (try 6.5-8.0 range)
  - **Solution**: Increase inference steps to 25

- **Issue**: Poor prompt adherence
  - **Solution**: Increase guidance_scale to 8.0
  - **Solution**: Make prompt more specific and descriptive

- **Issue**: Wrong resolution output
  - **Solution**: Explicitly set height=720, width=1280

### Slow Generation Speed

**Optimize Performance**:
```python
# Use lower ranks
pipe.load_lora_weights("...rank4-bf16.safetensors")  # Fastest

# Reduce steps (distillation enables this)
video = pipe(prompt, num_inference_steps=15)

# Fewer frames
video = pipe(prompt, num_frames=16)

# Enable torch.compile (PyTorch 2.0+)
pipe.unet = torch.compile(pipe.unet)

# Use xformers memory efficient attention
pipe.enable_xformers_memory_efficient_attention()
```

### Model Loading Errors

**Common Issues**:
```python
# Issue: "File not found"
# Solution: Use absolute paths with forward slashes or raw strings
lora_path = r"E:\huggingface\wan21-lightx2v-t2v-14b-720p\loras\wan\..."
# or
lora_path = "E:/huggingface/wan21-lightx2v-t2v-14b-720p/loras/wan/..."

# Issue: "BF16 not supported"
# Solution: Check GPU architecture (requires Ampere or newer)
# Fallback to FP16 if needed:
pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(
    "lightx2v/lightx2v-t2v-14b",
    torch_dtype=torch.float16  # Instead of bfloat16
)

# Issue: "CUDA out of memory on load"
# Solution: Use CPU offloading before loading
pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload()
```
