What is the required GPU memory for running this project?

[LwAiBug]

torch.cuda.OutOfMemoryError: CUDA out of memory. Tried to allocate 2.17 GiB (GPU 0; 14.84 GiB total capacity; 11.81 GiB already allocated; 1.67 GiB free; 12.22 GiB reserved in total by PyTorch) If reserved memory is >> allocated memory try setting max_split_size_mb to avoid fragmentation. See documentation for Memory Management and PYTORCH_CUDA_ALLOC_CONF

Still getting errors even with 16GB GPU memory

@LwAiBug
I meet the same error while running on 1080Ti GPU.

To solve the CUDA out-of-memory error, I discover that I need to resize the video resolution before using this annotation tool.
For example, my original video has a resolution of 1920x1200, I need to resize it to 960x600 (I use Python, read frames --> resize --> write frames to video), and then it worked properly.

Hello, thanks for the feedback. The required GPU memory depends on the video's resolution. Below are some example resolutions and the estimated GPU memory usage:

Resolution	Estimated GPU memory usage
1920 x 896	13GB
1280 x 720	7GB
576 x 320	5GB

@TuanTNG resizing is a good idea, and we are working on it and will enable the model to support resizing before tracking soon. Thanks.

I can understand ,that there will be a better solution without changing the video resolution in the future

[teidenzero]

if you're on windows, go to command prompt and type
set PYTORCH_CUDA_ALLOC_CONF=max_split_size_mb:1024
or
set PYTORCH_CUDA_ALLOC_CONF=max_split_size_mb:512

close command prompt and try again

I am getting the same error on a 4090 with 24Gb trying to inpaint a video 1000x562

[gaomingqi]

@g8392 @teidenzero Sorry the GPU memory requirements listed above are only for tracking. The model would cost much more for inpainting. We have added resizing to down-scale the resolution before inpainting. Please see the screen shot below:

where you can determine the ratio for down-scaling via the sliding controller. Thanks.

[entrusc]

can you please provide rough estimates of how much VRAM is needed for inpainting for usual resolutions like 720p, 1080p? Thanks!

Based on my personal experience, I have used E2FGVI inpainting to process many videos. For a 720x1280 resolution video, with over 40GB of GPU memory, you can process 100 frames of video at once. I usually set the neighbor_stride to 5, reducing this parameter can help to decrease the consumption of GPU memory, but may also reduce the quality of inpainting for some videos. I use an A40 graphics card, which can complete the inpainting of 100 frames of a 720x1280 resolution video in about 80 seconds. I hope this answer can be used as a reference.

@entrusc @g8392 @teidenzero hello, the table below is the estimated GPU memory requirements for inpainting (with default config in E2FGVI) (OOM indicates > 48GB):

Resolution	50 frames	100 frames	1000 frames
1920 x 1080	OOM	OOM	OOM
1280 x 720	30GB	46GB	OOM
720 x 480	13GB	21GB	OOM
640 x 480	11GB	19GB	OOM
320 x 240	4GB	4.5GB	OOM
160 x 120	2.5GB	3GB	21GB

It is observed that GPU MEMORY requirement in E2FGVI depends on both video resolution and video length. This is because E2FGVI evenly samples frames as the temporal context. The longer the video the more video frames are involved during inpainting, leading to the Out-Of-Memory (OOM).

@zhangjingzj96 thanks for your information! 🚩 Now we have shifted E2FGVI from inpainting the whole video to sequentially inpainting a set of sub-videos (with fixed length, e.g., 50), which effectively decouples GPU memory requirements and video length. After modification, the estimated GPU memory requirements are (with default configurations):

Resolution	50 frames	100 frames	1000 frames
1920 x 1080	OOM	OOM	OOM
1280 x 720	30GB	46GB	46GB
720 x 480	13GB	21GB	21GB
640 x 480	11GB	19GB	19GB
320 x 240	4GB	4.5GB	4.5GB
160 x 120	2.5GB	3GB	3GB

As mentioned by @zhangjingzj96 , reducing neighbor_stride can further reduce GPU memory usage, it is accessible in Track-Anything in:

Track-Anything/inpainter/config/config.yaml

Lines 1 to 7 in 48f8574

	# config info for E2FGVI
	neighbor_stride: 5
	num_ref: -1
	step: 10
	# config infor for E2FGVI with splits (updated on 23/04/29)
	num_subset_frames: 50
	num_external_ref: 2 # (>=0)

Also, decreasing num_external_ref or increasing step can also reduce the memory usage.

Besides adjusting the E2FGVI configurations, Track-Anything supports resizing the video before inpainting, as mentioned in my previous response. Thanks.

[baaoh]

if we used Track-Anything to do a sequence of image masks, would the limit for video length be practically erased?
