ComfyUI-FlashVSR_Ultra_Fast Introduction
ComfyUI-FlashVSR_Ultra_Fast is an extension designed to enhance video super-resolution capabilities within the ComfyUI framework. This extension is particularly beneficial for AI artists who work with video content and need to upscale videos efficiently without compromising on quality. It is optimized to run on systems with limited GPU memory, making it accessible to a broader range of users. The extension addresses common challenges in video super-resolution, such as high memory usage and processing time, by introducing innovative features that reduce memory requirements while maintaining high-quality output.
How ComfyUI-FlashVSR_Ultra_Fast Works
At its core, ComfyUI-FlashVSR_Ultra_Fast leverages advanced video processing techniques to upscale videos. It uses a method called "tile-based processing," which breaks down the video into smaller, manageable sections (tiles) that can be processed individually. This approach significantly reduces the memory load on your system, allowing you to work with high-resolution videos even on less powerful hardware. The extension also incorporates a unique attention mechanism that optimizes the processing of these tiles, ensuring that the final output is free from artifacts and maintains the original video's quality.
ComfyUI-FlashVSR_Ultra_Fast Features
- Mode Selection: Choose between 'tiny' for faster processing or 'full' for higher quality. This allows you to prioritize speed or quality based on your project's needs.
- Scale Factor: Typically set to '4' for optimal results, but can be adjusted to '2' if memory is a constraint.
- Color Correction: Utilizes wavelet transform methods to correct color deviations in the output video, ensuring that the colors remain true to the original.
- Tiled VAE and DiT: These features significantly reduce memory usage by processing video in smaller chunks, though they may slow down decoding and inference speeds.
- Tile Size and Overlap: Customize how the video is divided into tiles, which can affect both the processing speed and the quality of the final output.
- Unload DiT Model: This option unloads the DiT model before decoding to lower peak memory usage, with a slight trade-off in speed.
ComfyUI-FlashVSR_Ultra_Fast Models
The extension supports different models that cater to various needs:
- LQ_proj_in.ckpt: A model checkpoint for low-quality video input.
- TCDecoder.ckpt: A model checkpoint for temporal consistency in video decoding.
- diffusion_pytorch_model_streaming_dmd.safetensors: A model for diffusion-based video processing.
- Wan2.1_VAE.pth: A VAE model for video autoencoding. These models can be used interchangeably depending on the specific requirements of your video project, such as the desired quality and processing speed.
What's New with ComfyUI-FlashVSR_Ultra_Fast
- October 24, 2025: Introduced a new long video pipeline that significantly reduces memory usage for large video files.
- October 22, 2025: Replaced Block-Sparse-Attention with Sparse_SageAttention, eliminating the need for custom kernel compilation and making the extension easier to use out of the box.
- October 21, 2025: Initial release with features like tile_dit to drastically lower memory requirements.
Troubleshooting ComfyUI-FlashVSR_Ultra_Fast
If you encounter issues while using the extension, here are some common solutions:
- Memory Errors: Try reducing the scale factor or enabling tiled VAE/DiT to lower memory usage.
- Quality Issues: Ensure that the 'full' mode is selected for higher quality output and check that the correct models are loaded.
- Performance Problems: If processing is slow, consider using the 'tiny' mode or adjusting the tile size and overlap settings.
