Create Adorable Cat Videos with AI: A Low-VRAM Workflow
1. Workflow Overview

This workflow generates short videos of cute cats from static images (image-to-video). It includes super-resolution, frame interpolation, and video enhancement, outputting high-quality MP4 files. Designed for low VRAM usage (via GGUF quantized models) and fast local processing.
2. Core Models
Model Name | Function |
---|---|
| Quantized image-to-video model (low VRAM, ~6GB). |
| Multilingual text encoder for conditioning. |
| Super-resolution model for upscaling. |
| Frame interpolation model (RIFE) for smoother motion. |
3. Key Nodes
3.1 Required Custom Nodes
ComfyUI-GGUF: Loads quantized models (install via ComfyUI Manager).
ComfyUI-Frame-Interpolation: Frame interpolation plugin (manual GitHub install).
ComfyUI-VideoHelperSuite: Video synthesis (MP4 export).

4. Workflow Structure
Group Name | Inputs | Outputs | Logic |
---|---|---|---|
Text Encoding | Positive/negative prompts | Conditioning vectors | Controls video style (e.g., "cute cat"). |
Image Preprocess | Input image (512x768) | Scaled image | Adapts to video resolution. |
Image-to-Video | Image + conditioning + VAE | Low-res video latent | Generates initial video with Wan model. |
Video Enhance | Initial latent | High-res latent | Upscaling + frame interpolation (30fps). |
Video Export | Enhanced image sequence | Final MP4 | Adds metadata and saves. |
5. Inputs & Outputs
Inputs:
Required: Cat image (512x768 recommended), positive prompt (e.g., "sparkling eyes").
Optional: Negative prompts (default filters low quality), seed value.
Output: MP4 video (720p, 30fps, H.264 encoded).
6. Notes
VRAM Optimization: GGUF models reduce VRAM to ~6GB but slow down generation.
Frame Rate: Adjust
