DynamiCrafter wrapper nodes for ComfyUI
WORK IN PROGRESS
Installing
Either manager and install from git, or clone this repo to custom_nodes and run:
pip install -r requirements.txt
or if you use portable (run this in ComfyUI_windows_portable -folder):
python_embeded\python.exe -m pip install -r ComfyUI\custom_nodes\ComfyUI-DynamiCrafterWrapper\requirements.txt
Get the model from here, put it in ComfyUI/models/checkpoints and name it dynamicrafter_1024_v1.ckpt
https://huggingface.co/Doubiiu/DynamiCrafter_1024
Interpolation model should be named dynamicrafter_512_interp_v1.ckpt
https://huggingface.co/Doubiiu/DynamiCrafter_512_Interp/
With fp16 1024x576 uses bit under 10GB VRAM, and interpolation at 512p can be done with 8GB

🔆 Introduction
🔥🔥 Generative frame interpolation / looping video generation model weights (320x512) have been released!
🔥 New Update Rolls Out for DynamiCrafter! Better Dynamic, Higher Resolution, and Stronger Coherence!
🤗 DynamiCrafter can animate open-domain still images based on text prompt by leveraging the pre-trained video diffusion priors. Please check our project page and paper for more information.
😀 We will continue to improve the model's performance.

Currently, our DynamiCrafter can support generating videos of up to 16 frames with a resolution of 576x1024. The inference time can be reduced by using fewer DDIM steps.
GPU memory consumed on RTX 4090 reported by @noguchis in Twitter: 18.3GB (576x1024), 12.8GB (320x512), 11.9GB (256x256).
⚙️ Setup
Install Environment via Anaconda (Recommended)
conda create -n dynamicrafter python=3.8.5
conda activate dynamicrafter
pip install -r requirements.txt
💫 Inference
1. Command line
Image-to-Video Generation
- Download pretrained models via Hugging Face, and put the
model.ckptwith the required resolution incheckpoints/dynamicrafter_[1024|512|256]_v1/model.ckpt. - Run the commands based on your devices and needs in terminal.
# Run on a single GPU:
# Select the model based on required resolutions: i.e., 1024|512|320:
sh scripts/run.sh 1024
# Run on multiple GPUs for parallel inference:
sh scripts/run_mp.sh 1024
Generative Frame Interpolation / Looping Video Generation
Download pretrained model DynamiCrafter512_interp and put the model.ckpt in checkpoints/dynamicrafter_512_interp_v1/model.ckpt.
sh scripts/run_application.sh interp # Generate frame interpolation
sh scripts/run_application.sh loop # Looping video generation
2. Local Gradio demo
Image-to-Video Generation
- Download the pretrained models and put them in the corresponding directory according to the previous guidelines.
- Input the following commands in terminal (choose a model based on the required resolution: 1024, 512 or 256).
python gradio_app.py --res 1024
Generative Frame Interpolation / Looping Video Generation
Download the pretrained model and put it in the corresponding directory according to the previous guidelines.
