[Identity-Preserving Text-to-Video Generation by Frequency Decomposition](https://huggingface.co/papers/2411.17440) from Peking University & University of Rochester & etc, by Shenghai Yuan, Jinfa Huang, Xianyi He, Yunyang Ge, Yujun Shi, Liuhan Chen, Jiebo Luo, Li Yuan.

The abstract from the paper is:

*Identity-preserving text-to-video (IPT2V) generation aims to create high-fidelity videos with consistent human identity. It is an important task in video generation but remains an open problem for generative models. This paper pushes the technical frontier of IPT2V in two directions that have not been resolved in the literature: (1) A tuning-free pipeline without tedious case-by-case finetuning, and (2) A frequency-aware heuristic identity-preserving Diffusion Transformer (DiT)-based control scheme. To achieve these goals, we propose **ConsisID**, a tuning-free DiT-based controllable IPT2V model to keep human-**id**entity **consis**tent in the generated video. Inspired by prior findings in frequency analysis of vision/diffusion transformers, it employs identity-control signals in the frequency domain, where facial features can be decomposed into low-frequency global features (e.g., profile, proportions) and high-frequency intrinsic features (e.g., identity markers that remain unaffected by pose changes). First, from a low-frequency perspective, we introduce a global facial extractor, which encodes the reference image and facial key points into a latent space, generating features enriched with low-frequency information. These features are then integrated into the shallow layers of the network to alleviate training challenges associated with DiT. Second, from a high-frequency perspective, we design a local facial extractor to capture high-frequency details and inject them into the transformer blocks, enhancing the model's ability to preserve fine-grained features. To leverage the frequency information for identity preservation, we propose a hierarchical training strategy, transforming a vanilla pre-trained video generation model into an IPT2V model. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our frequency-aware heuristic scheme provides an optimal control solution for DiT-based models. Thanks to this scheme, our **ConsisID** achieves excellent results in generating high-quality, identity-preserving videos, making strides towards more effective IPT2V. The model weight of ConsID is publicly available at https://github.com/PKU-YuanGroup/ConsisID.*

Make sure to check out the Schedulers [guide](../../using-diffusers/schedulers.md) to learn how to explore the tradeoff between scheduler speed and quality, and see the [reuse components across pipelines](../../using-diffusers/loading.md#reuse-a-pipeline) section to learn how to efficiently load the same components into multiple pipelines.

There are two official ConsisID checkpoints for identity-preserving text-to-video.

### Memory optimization

ConsisID requires about 44 GB of GPU memory to decode 49 frames (6 seconds of video at 8 FPS) with output resolution 720x480 (W x H), which makes it not possible to run on consumer GPUs or free-tier T4 Colab. The following memory optimizations could be used to reduce the memory footprint. For replication, you can refer to [this](https://gist.github.com/SHYuanBest/bc4207c36f454f9e969adbb50eaf8258) script.
