How can I run or change this code to avoid the error **Expected 5D input(got 4D input)

Which part of your code raises this error message? Could you post the model definition as well as the full error message including the stacktrace?

nn.ConvTranspose3d layers expect 5D input in the shape [batch_size, channels, depth, height, width] (newer PyTorch versions also accept an unbatched 4D input where the batch dimension is missing and implicitly set to 1), so you might need to unsqueeze the missing dimension.
