Unlock Smooth Video Synthesis: A Step-by-Step Guide
1. Workflow Overview

This workflow generates high-quality character images and animates them with 360° rotation. Key features:
Character Generation: Creates realistic/anime characters from input images or text prompts.
Video Synthesis: Converts image sequences into smooth rotation animations.
Post-Processing: Includes upscaling, frame interpolation, and face detailing.
Core Models:
Model Name | Function | Source |
---|---|---|
| Base video generation | NetEase Open Source |
| Controls rotation motion | Custom LoRA (Manual Install) |
| Face upscaling | CivitAI |
| Frame interpolation | GitHub Plugin |
2. Key Nodes & Installation
Critical Nodes:
WanVideoModelLoader
Purpose: Loads base video models (e.g.,
Wan2.1-I2V-14B
).Install: Requires
ComfyUI-WanVideoWrapper
plugin via ComfyUI Manager.Dependency: Download models from NetEase and place in
models/wan_video
.
WanVideoLoraSelect
Purpose: Applies rotation LoRA (e.g.,
360_rotation_lora_flux
).Install: Place LoRA files in
models/loras
.
GIMMVFI_interpolate
Purpose: Frame interpolation for smoother videos.
Install: Clone
ComfyUI-GIMM-VFI
from GitHub.
FaceDetailer
Purpose: Auto-refines facial details.
Install: Built-in node; requires
UltralyticsDetectorProvider
(YOLO model).
3. Workflow Structure
Group 1: Character Generation
Inputs:
Image (via
LoadImage
) or text prompt (e.g., "1girl, fashion model").Parameters: Resolution (default 512x768), seed, steps (20).
Output: Generated character image (PNG).
Group 2: 360° Rotation Animation
Inputs:
Generated image + rotation LoRA.
Parameters: FPS (16), rotation control (via
WanVideoBlockSwap
).
Output: Rotation video (MP4).
Group 3: Post-Processing
Nodes:
CR Upscale Image
: 8x upscaling.GIMMVFI_interpolate
: Frame interpolation to 32fps.VHS_VideoCombine
: Final video rendering.
4. Inputs & Outputs
Input Parameters: (json)
{
"prompt": "1girl, Asian fashion model",
"negative_prompt": "low quality, blurry",
"seed": -1, // Random seed
"width": 512,
"height": 768
}
Output:
Video file:
/ComfyUI/output/XIAO_xxxx.mp4
(H.264).
5. Notes
Model Dependencies:
Download
Wan2.1
models (~14GB); VRAM ≥16GB (24GB recommended).Missing LoRA triggers
LORA not found
; verify filenames.
Optimization:
Run ComfyUI with
--highvram
flag.Disable unused Groups (e.g., character generation) to save resources.
Troubleshooting:
Resolution mismatch: Use
ImageResizeKJ
to unify dimensions.VRAM overflow: Enable
PurgeVRAM
to clear cache.
