- Introduced `load_image`, `prepare_image_for_encoding`, and `apply_conditioning` functions for handling image inputs and conditioning during video generation.
- Enhanced `generate_video` and `denoise_av` functions to accept optional image inputs for I2V conditioning.
- Updated command-line interface to include parameters for image conditioning, such as `--image`, `--image-strength`, and `--image-frame-idx`.
- Added new `VideoConditionByLatentIndex` and `LatentState` classes for managing latent states with conditioning.
- Implemented VAE encoder loading and image encoding for conditioning in the video generation process.d
