ty will make a tutorial hopefully with installer

I am not sure if you are aware of this but I stumbled into it looking for a way to make an nVidia k1 work with AI for cheap (hint it does not): https://github.com/WhatDreamsCost/Spline-Path-Control Which looks like something veeery specific and an easy way to control video motion. I wonder how easy it would be to incorporate in your custom set ups.

I downloaded the Wan 2.1 Core Models Bundle (GGUF Q6_K + LoRA). However, in the "Image To Video" Video Model drop down, I don't see what you have in the video. I just see the GGUF model. When I try to generate with it, SwarmUI gives an error: Invalid value for parameter Video Model: Invalid model value for param Video Model - 'Wan2.1_14b_Image_to_Video_720p_GGUF_Q8.gguf' - are you sure that model name is correct? Help would be greatly appreciated!

not at the moment but i am looking for better models which may arrive sooner

Some of the generated videos are perfect, but several generations have lot of artifacts and shadows around the subjects. It also adds random effects like smoke. When I use the Self Forcing Lora it changes the characters face a lot. Anything I can do? (Nvidia 4090 24GB)
Furkan Gözükara
hi SwarmUI is auto installed. but we have manual installer of comfyui too if you want and you can give its backend : https://www.patreon.com/posts/105023709

yes i recommend try Self Forcing LoRA + use image to video with realistic images it improves. and thanks

Hi! I’m just starting with SwarmUI and ComfyUI, and yesterday I finally generated my first video on an RTX 5090 — emotions are off the charts! 😊 I used to run everything on Linux, but I kept getting random errors and crashes. Since I switched to SwarmUI on Windows, everything finally works smoothly. The results are amazing, but I noticed the skin in some videos looks too plastic or overly smooth. Are there any workflows or tricks to make skin look more natural and realistic in videos? Maybe combining multiple LoRAs or running several passes? Would love to hear your thoughts — thanks so much for your great work!

Is there a one click install for Massed compute to install both ComyUI and Swarm with models available?
Furkan Gözükara
awesome. and thanks a lot for comment
Furkan Gözükara
our app has it but it uses last frame to extend . did you try? https://www.patreon.com/posts/123105403

I really appreciate the video. I'm curious if there has been any work toward wan extending an existing video. It's by far the best local gen, but the frame limitation keeps me away. I think ~15 seconds is good amount of video.

Hey, I love that I can turn on AI dubbing in Polish on your video. I really appreciate it, and it’s a great tutorial!
