SVD XT - Technique to reduce VRAM usage

Hello
I am experimenting with SVD XT but I am getting stuck as I am getting the error below if I trying to go over 100 frames at 25fps at 1024x576. My renders are far more detailed if I encode at 2048x1080 (my preferred size), but the VRAM error appears above 25 frames. I am using comfyUI and used the startup command

python main.py --disable-smart-memory

But it made no difference.

It seems that 24GB of VRAM is the most the mere mortals can afford from a Nvidia card. Are there techniques to sequentially calculate videos (preferably in comfyui) or some way to manage the VRAM?
Many thanks
