Description

The previous pipeline seemed to include an offline pre-processing step that converted raw videos into latent representations before training. This approach appeared to reduce training time by avoiding repeated encoding during each epoch.

Could you please clarify why this step was removed? Was it due to design changes, compatibility issues, or perhaps a shift toward end-to-end training?

Thanks in advance!
