I am finetuning the T2V model, and wanted to understand why we are required to have 4x+1 frame count.

I see that the DownSample3D module in the VAE will split the first frame off, and only interpolate the remaining frames.

CogVideo/sat/vae_modules/cp_enc_dec.py

Line 574 in 8f1829f

if get_context_parallel_rank() == 0 and fake_cp:

Why do we not set frames to 48, why do we need a frame that doesn't interpolate with others?

We follow magvit-v2 (https://arxiv.org/html/2310.05737v2). 4x+1 enable joint training with images and videos

If I'm only finetuning with videos, would it be better to just train without the extra 1?
