Ruyi-Models: Turn Still Images into Cinematic Videos
Posted on December 23, 2024 - News

Hey there! I've been playing around with Ruyi-Models lately, and I'm excited to show you how this cool AI tool can transform your images into smooth, high-quality videos.
What is Ruyi-Models?
Ruyi is an open-source image-to-video model that does something pretty amazing - it takes your still images and turns them into cinematic videos. Here's what makes it special:
- Creates videos at 768 resolution (that's really crisp!)
- Runs at 24 frames per second (just like movies)
- Makes 5-second videos with 120 total frames
- Lets you control camera movement and motion effects
- Works great on RTX 3090 or 4090 GPUs
Getting Started
Installing Ruyi is pretty straightforward. Just run these commands:
git clone https://github.com/IamCreateAI/Ruyi-Models
cd Ruyi-Models
pip install -r requirements.txt
For ComfyUI Users
You've got two ways to set this up:
-
The Easy Way: Use ComfyUI Manager
- Install the manager
- Search for "Ruyi"
- Click install
- Also grab "ComfyUI-VideoHelperSuite"
-
Manual Setup:
cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes/
git clone https://github.com/IamCreateAI/Ruyi-Models.git
pip install -r Ruyi-Models/requirements.txt
Making Your First Video
The simplest way to start is:
python3 predict_i2v.py
This will:
- Download the model automatically
- Use sample images from the assets folder
- Generate a video based on those images
Pro Tips
- Got a beefy GPU with 24GB+ memory? Use
predict_i2v_80g.py
for faster generation - Working with less memory? No worries - there are optimization settings to help you out
FAQ
Q: What GPU do I need? A: An RTX 3090 or 4090 works best, but you can run it on less powerful cards with memory optimization.
Q: How long does video generation take? A: It varies by settings and hardware, but expect anywhere from 1-20 minutes for a 5-second clip.
Q: Can I control the camera movement? A: Yep! You can set different camera motions like pan, tilt, and zoom.
