VideoCrafter2
No estimate
No hardware requirements for this model
This model's weights are open, but no parameter count has been published for it. Every memory and speed figure starts from that number, so we would rather show nothing than a fabricated estimate.
On record
Full specification
Everything on record for this model. Most of it describes how it was trained rather than how it runs — useful context for judging how much work went into it, and how it compares with models built at a different scale.

What it does
The problem areas the model was built for. A model can carry several of each.
- Domain
- Video, Vision

- Video generation, Text-to-video, Image-to-video
Size
How large the model is and how much data it was trained on. Parameters are the figure that decides whether it fits on a given graphics card.
- Training data
- tokens
"The training resolution is set at 512 × 320. <..> The models are trained on 32 NVIDIA A100 GPUs for 270K iterations with a batch size of 128. <..> The finetuning is conducted on 8 A100 GPUs for 30K iterations with a batch size of 256. Given that the images from JDB have a square resolution, we adjust the finetuning resolution to 512 × 512."

What the numbers mean
Where it came from
VideoCrafter2 was published by Tencent, in China, in January 2024. industry is the category the publisher falls under.
It works in Video, Vision, and is recorded as doing video generation, Text-to-video, Image-to-video.
The weights are published, so it can be downloaded and run on your own hardware indefinitely, offline, with no account attached.
Answers
VideoCrafter2 — common questions
What is VideoCrafter2 used for?
VideoCrafter2 works in Video, Vision, and is recorded as handling video generation, Text-to-video, Image-to-video. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.
Where can I download VideoCrafter2?
The weights for VideoCrafter2 are published, though we do not hold a repository link for it. This site calculates hardware requirements rather than hosting model files.
What GPU do I need to run VideoCrafter2?
We cannot say. VideoCrafter2 has open weights, but no parameter count has been published for it, and every memory and speed calculation starts from that number. We would rather show nothing than a fabricated estimate.
Is VideoCrafter2 open source?
Its weights are published, so VideoCrafter2 can be downloaded and run on your own hardware. Note that open weights is not the same as open source in the full sense — it says nothing about the training data, the training code, or the commercial terms attached.
How many parameters does VideoCrafter2 have?
No parameter count has been published for VideoCrafter2, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.
Who created VideoCrafter2?
VideoCrafter2 was published by Tencent, based in China, categorised as industry.
When was VideoCrafter2 released?
VideoCrafter2 was published in January 2024. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.
The other direction
Looking at it from the other side?
This page starts from the model. If you already own a card and want to know everything it will run, start from the hardware instead.
