### Text-to-Video Generation
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Text-to-Video (distilled, fastest)
|
|
uv run mlx_video.ltx_2.generate --prompt "Two dogs wearing sunglasses, cinematic, sunset" -n 97 --width 768
|
|
|
|
# Image-to-Video
|
|
uv run mlx_video.ltx_2.generate --prompt "A person dancing" --image photo.jpg
|
|
|
|
# Audio-to-Video
|
|
uv run mlx_video.ltx_2.generate --audio-file music.wav --prompt "A band playing music"
|
|
|
|
# Dev pipeline with CFG (higher quality)
|
|
uv run mlx_video.ltx_2.generate --pipeline dev --prompt "A cinematic scene" --cfg-scale 3.0
|
|
|
|

|
uv run mlx_video.ltx_2.generate --pipeline dev-two-stage-hq \
|
|
--prompt "A cinematic scene of ocean waves at golden hour" \

**Converting weights:**
|
|
|
|
Pre-converted weights are available on HuggingFace ([LTX-2-distilled](https://huggingface.co/prince-canuma/LTX-2-distilled), [LTX-2-dev](https://huggingface.co/prince-canuma/LTX-2-dev), [LTX-2.3-distilled](https://huggingface.co/prince-canuma/LTX-2.3-distilled), [LTX-2.3-dev](https://huggingface.co/prince-canuma/LTX-2.3-dev)), or convert from the original Lightricks checkpoint:

## Wan2.1 / Wan2.2
|
|
|
|
Both [Wan2.1](https://github.com/Wan-Video/Wan2.1) and [Wan2.2](https://github.com/Wan-Video/Wan2.2) are text-to-video diffusion models built on a DiT (Diffusion Transformer) backbone with a T5 text encoder and 3D VAE.
|
|
|
|
### Step 0: Download and Convert Weights
|
|
|
|
See the dedicated Wan2.1/Wan2.2 [README.md](mlx_video/models/wan/README.md) for details.
|
|
|
|
### Step 1: Generate Video
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Wan2.1 — uses defaults from config (50 steps, shift=5.0, guide=5.0)
|
|
python -m mlx_video.wan2.generate \
|
|
--model-dir wan21_mlx \
|
|
--prompt "A cat playing piano in a cozy room"
|
|
|
|
# Wan2.2 — uses defaults from config (40 steps, shift=12.0, guide=3.0,4.0)
|
|
python -m mlx_video.wan2.generate \
|
|
--model-dir wan22_mlx \
|
|
--prompt "A cat playing piano in a cozy room"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
With custom settings:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python -m mlx_video.wan2.generate \
|
|
--model-dir wan21_mlx \
|
|
--prompt "Ocean waves at sunset, cinematic, 4K" \
|
|
--negative-prompt "blurry, low quality" \
|
|
--width 1280 \
|
|
--height 720 \
|
|
--num-frames 81 \
|
|
--steps 50 \
|
|
--guide-scale 5.0 \
|
|
--shift 5.0 \
|
|
--seed 42 \
|
|
--output-path my_video.mp4
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The pipeline auto-detects the model version from `config.json` and selects the right pipeline mode (single or dual model).
|
|
|
|
### Image-to-Video (I2V-14B)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python -m mlx_video.wan2.generate \
|
|
--model-dir wan22_i2v_mlx \
|
|
--prompt "The camera slowly zooms in as the subject begins to move" \
|
|
--image start.png \
|
|
--num-frames 81 \
|
|
--output-path my_video.mp4
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### LoRA Support
|
|
|
|
LoRAs can be used with the `--lora-high` and `--lora-low` command line switches.
|
|
|
|
For example, using the distilled [Wan2.2-Lightning](https://huggingface.co/lightx2v/Wan2.2-Lightning) LoRA for 4-step generation:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python -m mlx_vide.wan2.generate \
|
|
--model-dir /Volumes/SSD/Wan-AI/Wan2.2-T2V-A14B-MLX \
|
|
--width 480 \
|
|
--height 704 \
|
|
--num-frames 41 \
|
|
--prompt "Two dogs of the poodle breed sitting on a beach wearing sunglasses, nodding with their heads, close up, cinematic, sunset" \
|
|
--steps 4 \
|
|
--guide-scale 1 \
|
|
--trim-first-frames 1 \
|
|
--seed 2391784614 \
|
|
--lora-high /Volumes/SSD/Wan-AI/lightx2v/Wan2.2-Lightning/Wan2.2-T2V-A14B-4steps-lora-rank64-Seko-V2.0/high_noise_model.safetensors 1 \
|
|
--lora-low /Volumes/SSD/Wan-AI/lightx2v/Wan2.2-Lightning/Wan2.2-T2V-A14B-4steps-lora-rank64-Seko-V2.0/low_noise_model.safetensors 1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
| `--negative-prompt` | `""` | Negative prompt for guidance |
|
|
| `--width` | 1280 | Video width |
|
|
| `--height` | 720 | Video height |
|
|
| `--num-frames` | 81 | Number of frames (must be 4n+1) |
|
|
| `--steps` | from config | Number of diffusion steps |
|
|
