ComfyUI Extension: ComfyUI_Light_A_Video

ComfyUI_Light_A_Video Introduction

ComfyUI_Light_A_Video is an innovative extension designed to enhance video relighting without the need for extensive training. It leverages the capabilities of the Light-A-Video framework, which is a training-free approach to video relighting. This extension allows AI artists to apply consistent and smooth lighting effects to video sequences, solving common issues such as lighting source inconsistency and flickering. By using this tool, you can achieve professional-quality video relighting with ease, making it an invaluable asset for artists looking to enhance their video projects with dynamic lighting effects.

How ComfyUI_Light_A_Video Works

At its core, ComfyUI_Light_A_Video utilizes the principles of Progressive Light Fusion to achieve seamless video relighting. Imagine you have a video where each frame is like a page in a flipbook. If you change the lighting on each page individually, the result might look inconsistent and flickery when you flip through them. This extension addresses that by introducing a Consistent Light Attention (CLA) module, which ensures that the lighting remains stable across frames. It blends the original video appearance with the relighted version, creating smooth transitions and maintaining the overall quality of the video.

ComfyUI_Light_A_Video Features

• Training-Free Relighting: No need for extensive training or large datasets. The extension works out-of-the-box, allowing you to focus on creativity rather than technical setup.
• Consistent Light Attention (CLA): This feature enhances cross-frame interactions, ensuring that the lighting source remains stable throughout the video.
• Progressive Light Fusion (PLF): A strategy that blends the original and relighted appearances, ensuring smooth transitions and reducing flickering.
• Customizable Prompts: You can use prompts to guide the relighting process, focusing on specific subjects or themes within your video.

ComfyUI_Light_A_Video Models

The extension supports various models to cater to different needs:

• SD1.5 Checkpoints: These are standard checkpoints used for general relighting tasks.
• IC-Light Model: Available from Huggingface, this model is specifically designed for consistent lighting effects.
• Animatediff Motion-Adapter: This model, available here, is used for motion adaptation, ensuring that the relighting adapts to the movement within the video.

Troubleshooting ComfyUI_Light_A_Video

Here are some common issues you might encounter and how to solve them:

• Issue: Video Flickering: Ensure that the Consistent Light Attention module is properly configured. This module is crucial for maintaining stable lighting across frames.
• Issue: Mask Image Not Generating: If using the sam2 mode for mask images, ensure that 'ultralytics>=8.3.51' is installed. This is necessary for the inpaint mode to function correctly.
• Issue: Resolution Limitations: Currently, the extension supports a resolution of 512 due to underlying model constraints. Future updates may expand this capability.
