--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

**LightX2V** is a lightweight video generation inference framework designed to provide an inference tool that leverages multiple advanced video generation inference techniques. As a unified inference platform, this framework supports various generation tasks such as text-to-video (T2V) and image-to-video (I2V) across different models. **X2V means transforming different input modalities (such as text or images) to video output.**


## 💡 How to Start

Please refer to our documentation: **[English Docs](https://lightx2v-en.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) | [中文文档](https://lightx2v-zhcn.readthedocs.io/zh-cn/latest/)**.
