ComfyUI Node: Load AnimateLCM-I2V Model 🎭🅐🅓②

Load AnimateLCM-I2V Model 🎭🅐🅓②:

The ADE_LoadAnimateLCMI2VModel node is designed to load AnimateLCM-I2V models, which are specialized motion models used in the AnimateDiff framework. This node ensures that the selected model is compatible with the AnimateLCM-I2V format and contains an image encoder, which is crucial for processing and generating high-quality animations. By leveraging this node, you can seamlessly integrate and utilize advanced motion models in your animation projects, enhancing the overall visual quality and motion dynamics.

Load AnimateLCM-I2V Model 🎭🅐🅓② Input Parameters:

model_name

This parameter specifies the name of the motion model you wish to load. It allows you to select from the available motion models that are compatible with the AnimateLCM-I2V format. The correct selection of the model is crucial as it directly impacts the quality and characteristics of the animation. There are no minimum or maximum values, but the options are limited to the models available in your environment.

ad_settings

This optional parameter allows you to provide specific settings for the AnimateDiff model. These settings can fine-tune various aspects of the model's behavior and performance, such as motion dynamics and visual effects. If not provided, the model will use its default settings. This parameter is useful for advanced users who want to customize the model's performance to better suit their specific needs.

Load AnimateLCM-I2V Model 🎭🅐🅓② Output Parameters:

MOTION_MODEL

This output parameter returns the loaded motion model, which is now ready to be used in your animation pipeline. The model includes all necessary components, such as the image encoder, ensuring it is fully functional and compatible with the AnimateLCM-I2V framework. This output is essential for further processing and applying the model to generate animations.

encoder_only

This output parameter provides an encoder-only version of the loaded motion model. This version is useful if you only need the image encoding capabilities of the model without the full motion dynamics. It allows for more flexible and efficient use of resources, especially in scenarios where only image encoding is required.

Load AnimateLCM-I2V Model 🎭🅐🅓② Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the model_name parameter is set to a valid and available motion model to avoid loading errors.
• Utilize the ad_settings parameter to fine-tune the model's performance, especially if you have specific requirements for your animation project.
• Use the encoder_only output if you only need the image encoding functionality, which can save computational resources.

Load AnimateLCM-I2V Model 🎭🅐🅓② Common Errors and Solutions:

"Motion model '<model_name>' is not an AnimateLCM-I2V model; selected model is not AnimateLCM, and does not contain an img_encoder."

• Explanation: This error occurs when the selected motion model is not compatible with the AnimateLCM-I2V format or lacks an image encoder.
• Solution: Verify that the model_name parameter is set to a valid AnimateLCM-I2V model that includes an image encoder.

"Motion model '<model_name>' is not an AnimateLCM-I2V model; selected model IS AnimateLCM, but does NOT contain an img_encoder."

• Explanation: This error indicates that the selected model is of the AnimateLCM format but does not have the required image encoder.
• Solution: Ensure that the selected model includes an image encoder. If not, choose a different model that meets this requirement.

"Passed-in motion model was expected to have an img_encoder, but did not."

• Explanation: This error occurs when the provided motion model lacks an image encoder, which is necessary for the node's functionality.
• Solution: Check the model_name and ensure it points to a model with an image encoder. If the issue persists, verify the integrity and compatibility of the model files.
