What does this PR do?
While running SmolVLM tests I noticed this warning in the output:
Tracked it down to
prepare_video()intests/test_video_processing_common.py— it builds a list of numpy arrays (one per frame), then passes that list straight totorch.tensor(). PyTorch really doesn't like this; it ends up iterating over each array one by one instead of doing a bulk conversion.The fix is simple — consolidate into a single numpy array first, then hand it to torch:
np.array()was already imported. Output is bit-identical (verified withtorch.equal()), warning is gone.Quick benchmark on Apple M-series, 500 iterations:
All SmolVLM tests pass (302 passed, 186 skipped, 0 failures). No other instances of this pattern in
tests/*.py.Fixes # (issue)
