Unlock Animated Wing Effects with WAN2.1: A Step-by-Step Workflow
1. Workflow Overview

This workflow leverages WAN2.1 model for Image-to-Video (I2V) generation, specializing in adding animated wing effects to static images. It processes inputs through text encoding, image embedding, video sampling, and optional frame interpolation to output HD videos. Ideal for character animation and short video production.

4. Workflow Structure
Group 1: Text & Image Encoding
Inputs: Positive prompt (e.g., "red glowing wings"), negative prompt (e.g., "blurry"), source image (
720x480
).Outputs: CLIP image embeds + T5 text embeds.
Group 2: Video Generation
Inputs: Seed

, sampler (DPM++, 20 steps).Outputs: Raw video (16FPS).
Group 3: Post-Processing (Interpolation) (Optional)
Inputs: Raw video + GIMMVFI model.
Outputs: Interpolated video (30FPS).
5. Inputs & Outputs
Required Inputs:
Image: PNG, recommended resolution ≥720P.
Prompts: Supports Chinese/English (e.g., "chibang, glowing wings").
Output:
Video: MP4 (H.264, 16FPS default, 30FPS interpolated).
6. Notes
⚠️ Common Issues:
VRAM Overflow: Use GPU with ≥12GB VRAM or reduce resolution to
480x270
.LoRA Load Fail: Verify filename
