    Posted: 01 Sep 2008 at 2:19pm
Just bought the book.  Great!  In the Preface you recommend downloading R2 and provide a link.  The link no longer words and user is directed to the SAP site.
I registered there and was presented with a list of downloads, but don't see the original Release 2.  Lots of Hot fixes and Service Packs up to 4.  If I install SP 4 I assume it contains everything I need, but hoped for confirmation.
Have you or anyone tried this on the original XI version?

Wan2.1 I2v 720p 14b Fp16.safetensors Work (2024)

This method gives you the most control but requires command-line expertise.

Do not waste prompt space describing what the character is wearing if it is already visible in the image. Instead, focus entirely on the physics: "waves crashing violently against the rocks," "smoke billowing slowly upward," or "smooth tracking shot moving backward."

import torch from diffusers import WanImageToVideoPipeline from diffusers.utils import load_image, export_to_video # Load the pipeline pointing to your local or Hugging Face cached safe tensors pipeline = WanImageToVideoPipeline.from_pretrained( "Wan-Video/Wan2.1-I2V-720p-14B", torch_dtype=torch.float16, use_safetensors=True ) pipeline.to("cuda") # Prepare inputs init_image = load_image("your_starting_frame.png") prompt = "The camera smoothly orbits the subject as wind blows through their hair, photorealistic, 4k." # Generate video_frames = pipeline(image=init_image, prompt=prompt, num_frames=81, dimensions=(1280, 720)).frames export_to_video(video_frames, "output_clip.mp4", fps=24) Use code with caution. Best Practices for Optimal Video Outputs wan2.1 i2v 720p 14b fp16.safetensors

✅ No quantization loss. The temporal consistency is noticeably better than the fp8 versions. Lip-sync and fine textures actually hold up.

The official or community-sourced wan2.1 i2v 720p 14b fp16.safetensors can typically be found on Hugging Face. Search hint: Look for repositories under names like Wan-Video/Wan2.1-I2V-14B-720P or community mirrors. Always verify SHA256 checksums. This method gives you the most control but

For Python-savvy users who want to integrate the model into a script, the diffusers library provides a clean API. The model can be loaded from a single .safetensors file. Code examples are available showing how to load the model, the VAE, and generate a video from an image.

Running a 14-billion parameter video model at FP16 precision requires substantial computational power. Because video diffusion models must hold multiple frames in memory simultaneously, video RAM (VRAM) is the ultimate bottleneck. Best Practices for Optimal Video Outputs ✅ No

Running a 14-billion parameter model for high-definition video generation is no small feat. The hardware requirements are substantial:

Most open-source video models (e.g., ZeroScope, ModelScope) suffer from "temporal drift"—the subject slowly melts into the background after 2 seconds. Wan2.1 14B, due to its scale and transformer architecture, maintains subject identity across 5-9 seconds (the typical generation length for i2v variants). A person waving their hand keeps the same number of fingers; a dog running keeps the same fur pattern.

Crucially, Wan2.1 is a architecture, moving beyond traditional U-Net based video models. This transformer backbone allows for better scaling with parameters and longer video generation.

I will give it a try.  I didn't think it was clear, either.  I never saw the plain old XI R2.  I think SP2 is the first one available, but I will check again.  I did see the dreaded incremental.  I thought I would try SP3 first since hopefully, it will contain everything up to that point.  Will let you know.  Thanks!

I downloaded and installed R2 and then downloaded and installed SP3 and SP4 from SAP site.  Reporting back as requested.

I am having one issue.  When I open the app or any report not stored in the Workbench, Windows Installer comes up and then I get a Wait While XI configures R2.  This takes 10 minutes and I get java prompt pop ups with java.exe running in a window.
 
Does anyone know how to fix this?
 
Sure would appreciate.
Also, downloaded your training reports for the book, Brian.  Missing Chapter 10.  Is there one or did I lose it somehow?
 
Thanks again.

I am having this same problem.  Has anyone come up with a solution for it?

Thanks,

I found the download of R2 with SP2 here: http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/service_packs/crxir2.asp. The zip file is 1.03 gigs. It sounds like I should hold off on installing SP3 and SP4.

I am going to uninstall SP4 and see what happens.   If it continues, I will uninstall SP3.
It is very annoying!
 
If anyone is successful getting rid of the issue, please post and I will do the same.

I just installed R2 with SP2 and I've been getting the Windows installer problem. Once I get Crystal Reports open, I can open anything I need to, but the installer wants me to do nothing else while it's doing its thing.

I had this problem when I was writing the XI book. The only way I got rid of it was to uninstall CR XI from my computer and then install the R2 download as a clean install. It is a full install and doesn't need XI to be on your computer beforehand. Then the installer nightmare went away.  wan2.1 i2v 720p 14b fp16.safetensors
