ComfyUI Extension: ComfyUI-DiffSynth-Studio

ComfyUI-DiffSynth-Studio Introduction

ComfyUI-DiffSynth-Studio is an extension that integrates the powerful DiffSynth-Studio into ComfyUI, making it accessible for AI artists. This extension allows you to leverage advanced diffusion models for video and image synthesis directly within the ComfyUI environment. Whether you're looking to create stunning animations, stylize videos, or generate high-resolution images, ComfyUI-DiffSynth-Studio provides the tools you need to bring your creative visions to life.

How ComfyUI-DiffSynth-Studio Works

ComfyUI-DiffSynth-Studio works by integrating various diffusion models into ComfyUI, enabling you to perform complex image and video synthesis tasks. Diffusion models are a type of generative model that iteratively refine an image or video from random noise, guided by a series of learned transformations. Think of it like sculpting a statue from a block of marble, where each step brings the final image or video closer to the desired outcome.

For example, if you want to create a video with a specific style, the extension uses a model to generate each frame of the video, ensuring consistency and smooth transitions. Similarly, for image synthesis, the model refines the image through multiple iterations to achieve high resolution and detail.

ComfyUI-DiffSynth-Studio Features

ExVideo Node

The ExVideo node is designed for video generation and enhancement. It allows you to create long videos by extending the capabilities of existing video generation models.

• Image: The input image to be used as the base for video generation.
• SVD Base Model: Path to the base model for video synthesis.
• ExVideo Model: Path to the ExVideo model.
• Number of Frames: The total number of frames to generate (default: 128).
• FPS: Frames per second for the generated video (default: 30).
• Number of Inference Steps: Number of steps for the inference process (default: 50).
• Upscale: Option to upscale the video (default: True).
• Seed: Seed for random number generation to ensure reproducibility (default: 1).

Diffutoon Node

The Diffutoon node is used for toon shading, transforming videos into a cartoon-like style.

• Source Video Path: Path to the source video.
• SD Model Path: Path to the Stable Diffusion model.
• Positive Prompt: Text prompt to guide the generation.
• Negative Prompt: Text prompt to avoid certain features.
• Start: The starting second of the video to be shaded (default: 0).
• Length: Duration of the video to be shaded (default: -1 for the entire video).
• Seed: Seed for random number generation (default: 42).
• CFG Scale: Classifier-free guidance scale (default: 3).
• Number of Inference Steps: Number of steps for the inference process (default: 10).
• Animatediff Batch Size: Batch size for animatediff (default: 32).
• Animatediff Stride: Stride for animatediff (default: 16).
• VRAM Limit Level: VRAM limit level to manage memory usage (default: 0).
