    Production Integration and Workflows

    From the course Stable Video Diffusion 1.1

    Integrate SVD into professional production pipelines for scalable video content creation.

    Production Pipeline

    Batch Processing

    import os
    from pathlib import Path
    
    def batch_generate_videos(input_dir, output_dir, pipe):
        Path(output_dir).mkdir(exist_ok=True)
        
        for img_file in sorted(os.listdir(input_dir)):
            if img_file.endswith(('.png', '.jpg', '.jpeg')):
                image = Image.open(f"{input_dir}/{img_file}").resize((1024, 576))
                
                frames = pipe(
                    image,
                    num_frames=25,
                    motion_bucket_id=127,
                    decode_chunk_size=8
                ).frames[0]
                
                output_name = img_file.rsplit('.', 1)[0] + '.mp4'
                export_to_video(frames, f"{output_dir}/{output_name}", fps=6)
                print(f"Generated: {output_name}")
    

    API Server Setup

    from fastapi import FastAPI, UploadFile
    from fastapi.responses import FileResponse
    import uuid
    
    app = FastAPI()
    
    @app.post("/generate-video")
    async def generate_video(
        image: UploadFile,
        motion: int = 127,
        frames: int = 25
    ):
        img = Image.open(image.file).resize((1024, 576))
        
        result = pipe(
            img,
            num_frames=frames,
            motion_bucket_id=motion
        ).frames[0]
        
        output_path = f"/tmp/{uuid.uuid4()}.mp4"
        export_to_video(result, output_path, fps=6)
        
        return FileResponse(output_path, media_type="video/mp4")
    

    Post-Production Integration

    Combining with Video Editors

    • Export individual frames as PNG sequence for maximum flexibility
    • Import frame sequences into DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, or After Effects
    • Apply color grading and effects in professional editing software
    • Composite SVD output with live footage for hybrid content

    Upscaling Pipeline

    • Use Real-ESRGAN or similar for frame-by-frame upscaling
    • Interpolate with RIFE for higher frame rates (6fps → 24/30fps)
    • Apply temporal consistency filters to reduce flickering
    • Final encode at target resolution and codec
