Enables rapid iteration and troubleshooting. NEW CONFIGS: 1. config_quick_test.yaml - 360p, 24fps, medium quality (~5-10 min) - Resolution: 640x360 (good visibility, 1/9th pixels of 1080p) - Mode: 2D Grease Pencil (faster rendering) - Effects: Minimal (speed focus) - Quality: Medium (good for testing) - Best for: General testing and validation 2. config_ultra_fast.yaml - 180p, 12fps, low quality (~2-3 min) - Resolution: 320x180 (fastest possible) - FPS: 12 (half normal frame rate) - Samples: 16 (minimum quality) - Quality: Low (grainy but fast) - Best for: Quick verification pipeline works NEW SCRIPT: quick_test.py - Automated full pipeline test runner - Checks all prerequisites before running - Optionally auto-generates lyrics with Whisper (--auto-lyrics) - Runs all 3 phases sequentially - Reports timing for each phase - Shows final output location and file size - Graceful error handling with helpful messages - Generous timeouts (30 min for rendering phase) FEATURES: - Command-line options: --config: Use custom config (default: config_quick_test.yaml) --auto-lyrics: Auto-generate lyrics before rendering --no-lyrics: Skip lyrics display --debug: Enable debug visualization markers - Progress tracking with timing - Colored output for success/error/warnings - Verifies files exist before starting - Shows last 5 lines of each command output - Total pipeline timing report DOCUMENTATION: TESTING_GUIDE.md - Comprehensive testing documentation: - Quick reference table (configs, timings, file sizes) - Method 1: Automated testing with quick_test.py - Method 2: Manual step-by-step - Configuration comparison and features - Timing breakdown for 30-second songs - Performance optimization tips - Testing checklist (visual, animation, audio, timing) - Troubleshooting guide - Complete workflow examples - Expected file sizes by resolution TIMING ESTIMATES (30-second song): Ultra-Fast (320x180): Phase 1: 10s Phase 2: 1-2 min Phase 3: 20s Total: 2-3 minutes Quick Test (640x360): Phase 1: 10s Phase 2: 4-8 min Phase 3: 30s Total: 5-10 minutes Production (1920x1080): Phase 1: 10s Phase 2: 25-50 min Phase 3: 1-2 min Total: 30-60 minutes SPEED OPTIMIZATIONS: - 2D mode instead of 3D (~2x faster) - Lower resolution (1/9th pixels = ~9x faster) - Reduced sample counts (32 vs 128) - Disabled effects (fog, particles, HDRI) - EEVEE engine (much faster than CYCLES) - Lower FPS option (12 vs 24 for ultra-fast) USAGE EXAMPLES: # Quickest automated test python quick_test.py --auto-lyrics # Ultra-fast manual test python main.py --config config_ultra_fast.yaml # Good quality test python main.py --config config_quick_test.yaml DEVELOPMENT WORKFLOW: 1. Make code/config changes 2. Run quick_test.py --auto-lyrics 3. Verify output in 5-10 minutes 4. Iterate as needed 5. Final render with production config This dramatically improves development speed and testing efficiency, reducing iteration time from 30-60 minutes to 5-10 minutes. --- TESTING_GUIDE.md | 412 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ auto_lyrics_beats.py | 0 auto_lyrics_gentle.py | 0 auto_lyrics_whisper.py | 0 config_quick_test.yaml | 107 +++++++++++ config_ultra_fast.yaml | 88 +++++++++ quick_test.py | 270 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 7 files changed, 877 insertions(+) create mode 100644 TESTING_GUIDE.md mode change 100644 => 100755 auto_lyrics_beats.py mode change 100644 => 100755 auto_lyrics_gentle.py mode change 100644 => 100755 auto_lyrics_whisper.py create mode 100644 config_quick_test.yaml create mode 100644 config_ultra_fast.yaml create mode 100755 quick_test.py diff --git a/TESTING_GUIDE.md b/TESTING_GUIDE.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..07eff14 --- /dev/null +++ b/TESTING_GUIDE.md @@ -0,0 +1,412 @@ +# Testing Guide - Quick Pipeline Validation + +This guide shows how to test the full pipeline quickly with low-resolution rendering to verify everything works before doing a full production render. + +## Quick Reference + +| Config | Resolution | FPS | Render Time* | File Size | Use Case | +|--------|-----------|-----|--------------|-----------|----------| +| **config_ultra_fast.yaml** | 320x180 | 12 | ~2-3 min | ~200KB | Fastest verification | +| **config_quick_test.yaml** | 640x360 | 24 | ~5-10 min | ~1-2MB | Good quality test | +| **config.yaml** | 1920x1080 | 24 | ~30-60 min | ~5-10MB | Production quality | + +*For 30-second song on typical hardware + +--- + +## Method 1: Automated Quick Test (Recommended) + +### Using the Quick Test Script + +The `quick_test.py` script automates the entire pipeline: + +```bash +# Basic quick test (uses existing lyrics.txt) +python quick_test.py + +# Auto-generate lyrics + full test +python quick_test.py --auto-lyrics + +# Test without lyrics display +python quick_test.py --no-lyrics + +# Enable debug visualization +python quick_test.py --debug +``` + +**What it does:** +1. āœ“ Checks all required files exist +2. āœ“ Optionally generates lyrics with Whisper +3. āœ“ Runs Phase 1 (audio prep) - ~10 seconds +4. āœ“ Runs Phase 2 (rendering) - ~5-10 minutes at 360p +5. āœ“ Runs Phase 3 (export) - ~30 seconds +6. āœ“ Reports total time and output location + +**Expected output:** +``` +āœ“ Full pipeline completed in 7.3 minutes +Output video: outputs/quick_test/quick_test.mp4 +Resolution: 640x360 (360p) +File size: 1.45 MB +``` + +--- + +## Method 2: Manual Step-by-Step + +### Ultra-Fast Test (2-3 minutes total) + +Fastest possible test - minimal quality but verifies pipeline works: + +```bash +# 1.
