Unlock Dynamic Camera Motion Effects with Alibaba's WAN2.1 Model
1. Workflow Overview

This workflow leverages Alibaba’s WAN2.1 model with ReCamMaster technology to generate dynamic camera motion effects. Key features:
Video Stylization: Transforms input videos into anime-style or custom motion effects.
AI Camera Control: Simulates professional cinematography (e.g., zoom, pan) via
ReCamMaster
.Multimodal Input: Supports text prompts (Chinese/English), reference videos, and auto-generated camera paths.
Core Models:
Wan2_1_kwai_recammaster_1_3B
: Custom video model with motion control.UMT5-XXL
: Multilingual text encoder for Chinese prompts.Florence-2-large-ft
: Microsoft’s vision model for video analysis.

3. Workflow Groups
Group 1: Video Input & Preprocessing
Input: Reference video (e.g.,
export (2) (1).mp4
).Steps:
VHS_LoadVideo
extracts frames.Florence2Run
generates captions (e.g., "autumnal forest scene").ImageResizeKJ
resizes to 512x768.
Group 2: Motion Effect Generation
Core Nodes:
WanVideoReCamMasterDefaultCamera
: Selects motion mode (default: "zoom_out").WanVideoSampler
: Renders frames with text prompts and camera paths.VHS_VideoCombine
: Exports final MP4 with motion effects.
4. Inputs & Outputs
Inputs:
Video: MP4 file (480P recommended).
Prompts: e.g., "video of an autumnal forest scene".
Motion Mode: Dropdown selection (zoom/pan).
Output:
MP4 video with camera effects (saved as
WanVideo2_1_ReCamMaster_xxxx.mp4
).
5. Notes
VRAM: ≥12GB GPU recommended (use
bf16
for lower usage).Debugging:

parameters.
Optimization:
Reduce output resolution (e.g., 360P) for lower VRAM.
Disable experimental features to speed up.
