About SkyReels-V2

SkyReels-V2 is an open video model you run on your own machine. It makes long clips, and can keep going for endless ones. You get text-to-video, image-to-video, clip extension and start/end frame control. The 14B model needs 51.2 GB of VRAM, and the license is unclear.

Best for: Technical makers who want a long-form video model running on their own GPU.

What it does

  • Makes long videos, and can keep generating to make them endless
  • Handles text-to-video, image-to-video, clip extension and start/end frames
  • Runs on one GPU or several, with sync and async modes
  • Ships diffusers pipelines for T2V and I2V in Python
  • Includes SkyCaptioner-V1 for video captions and a prompt enhancer
  • Saves memory with offloading, TeaCache and a smaller base frame count

Quickstart

Rewritten from the README. Check the repo for the latest steps.

  1. 1
    Clone the repo and install the requirements: the command below, cd SkyReels-V2, then the next command (tested on Python 3.10.12)
    git clone https://github.com/SkyworkAI/SkyReels-V2
    pip install -r requirements.txt
  2. 2
    Download the model weights you want from Hugging Face or ModelScope, then set the model path
  3. 3
    Generate a long video: the command below
    python3 generate_video_df.py --model_id Skywork/SkyReels-V2-DF-14B-540P --resolution 540P --ar_step 0 --base_num_frames 97 --num_frames 257 --overlap_history 17 --prompt "..." --addnoise_condition 20 --offload
  4. 4
    For image-to-video add --image ${image_path}; to extend a clip add --video_path ${video_path}
  5. 5
    Or use the diffusers pipelines: SkyReelsV2DiffusionForcingPipeline for T2V and SkyReelsV2DiffusionForcingImageToVideoPipeline for I2V

Reviewed Oct 1, 2026. Skywork custom terms, not a standard license. Last push 2026-01-29, outside our 90-day window; kept as a key long-video model. We write these descriptions ourselves. The repo's own docs are the final word.
