Step by Step
Configuring Model Loaders and Prompts
- Press the 'R' key on your keyboard to refresh the ComfyUI models list.
- Locate the main loader node (labeled 'Step 1' in the video workflow).
- Click the first dropdown menu and select the main HunyuanVideo model file.
- Click the second dropdown menu and select the 'coin 2.5' model.
- Click the third dropdown menu and select the 'bite 5 small' model.
- Click the VAE dropdown menu and select the appropriate VAE file.
- Navigate to the text input box labeled for the positive prompt and type your desired video description.
- Navigate to the negative prompt text box and enter elements to exclude from the video.
Setting Resolution and Generating
- Locate the resolution and frame settings node.
- Verify the frame rate is set to 24 fps.
- Calculate the 'length' value (Total Frames) by multiplying desired seconds by 24 (e.g., set to 120 for a 5-second video).
- Set the 'batch_size' value (e.g., 1 for a single video generation).
- Click the 'Queue Prompt' or 'Run' button in the ComfyUI menu to start generation.
Optimizing Speed with VAE Decoding
- Locate the 'VAE Decode High' node if generation is too slow.
- Select the 'VAE Decode High' node and press 'Ctrl + B' to unbypass (activate) it.
- Locate the original 'VAE Decode' node (often the Tiled version).
- Select the original node and press 'Ctrl + B' to bypass (deactivate) it to ensure only one decoder runs.
