ComfyUI Node: FramePackSampler (F1)

FramePackSampler (F1):

The FramePackSampler_F1 node is designed to facilitate the generation of video frames by sampling latent sections over a specified duration. It is particularly useful for AI artists looking to create smooth transitions and coherent sequences in video content. This node operates by dividing the total duration into manageable sections, ensuring that each section is processed efficiently to maintain the desired frame rate and quality. The FramePackSampler_F1 is optimized for scenarios where frame-by-frame generation is crucial, and it leverages a model assumed to be of the F1 type to achieve this. By handling latent embeddings and conditioning data, it ensures that the generated frames align with the intended artistic vision, making it an essential tool for video synthesis and animation projects.

FramePackSampler (F1) Input Parameters:

model

The model parameter is expected to be a dictionary containing the transformer and data type (dtype) used for processing. It is crucial for defining the computational framework and ensuring compatibility with the node's operations.

positive_timed_data

This parameter contains information about the sections to be processed, including the total duration, window size, and blend sections. It is essential for determining how the video is divided and processed over time, impacting the smoothness and coherence of the output.

negative

The negative parameter is used for conditioning the generation process, typically involving negative prompts or embeddings. It influences the contrast and balance of the generated frames, allowing for nuanced control over the output.

use_teacache

A boolean parameter that determines whether the teacache optimization is enabled. When set to true, it can improve performance by caching intermediate results, reducing computational overhead.

teacache_rel_l1_thresh

This parameter sets the relative L1 threshold for the teacache, affecting how aggressively the cache is utilized. It is important for balancing performance and memory usage.

steps

Defines the number of steps for the sampling process. More steps can lead to higher quality outputs but may increase processing time.

cfg

The configuration parameter influences the model's behavior, particularly in terms of guidance and conditioning. It is crucial for fine-tuning the output to match the desired artistic style.

guidance_scale

This parameter adjusts the strength of the guidance applied during sampling, impacting the adherence to the conditioning data and overall output quality.

shift

The shift parameter allows for temporal adjustments in the sampling process, enabling fine control over the timing and synchronization of the generated frames.

seed

A numerical value used to initialize the random number generator, ensuring reproducibility of the results. It is important for achieving consistent outputs across different runs.

sampler

Specifies the sampling method to be used, which can affect the style and characteristics of the generated frames. It is crucial for aligning the output with the artistic intent.

gpu_memory_preservation

A boolean parameter that, when enabled, optimizes memory usage on the GPU, allowing for more efficient processing of large or complex projects.

start_image_embeds

Optional parameter for providing initial image embeddings, which can guide the generation process from a specific starting point.

start_latent

Optional parameter for specifying the initial latent state, influencing the initial conditions of the sampling process.

end_latent

Optional parameter for defining the target latent state, guiding the generation towards a specific endpoint.

end_image_embeds

Optional parameter for providing final image embeddings, which can help shape the conclusion of the generated sequence.

embed_interpolation

Specifies the method of interpolation for embeddings, with options such as "linear" to control the transition between states.

start_embed_strength

A numerical value that determines the influence of the starting embeddings, affecting the initial direction and style of the generation.

initial_samples

Optional parameter for providing initial samples, which can be used to seed the generation process and influence the starting conditions.

denoise_strength

Controls the level of denoising applied during sampling, impacting the clarity and smoothness of the output frames.

FramePackSampler (F1) Output Parameters:

samples

The samples output contains the generated video frames, represented as latent tensors. These frames are the result of the sampling process and reflect the input parameters and conditioning data. The output is crucial for evaluating the success of the generation process and for further processing or rendering into a final video.

FramePackSampler (F1) Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the positive_timed_data is correctly configured to match the desired video duration and sectioning, as this will significantly impact the smoothness and coherence of the output.
• Utilize the use_teacache option to optimize performance, especially for longer or more complex video sequences, as it can reduce computational load and improve processing speed.
• Experiment with different guidance_scale and cfg values to fine-tune the artistic style and adherence to conditioning data, allowing for greater creative control over the output.

FramePackSampler (F1) Common Errors and Solutions:

Error: positive_timed_list is empty! Cannot sample.

• Explanation: This error occurs when the positive_timed_data does not contain any sections to process, which is essential for the node's operation.
• Solution: Ensure that the positive_timed_data is correctly populated with valid sections and that the total duration and window size are appropriately set.

vid2vid - Warning: Calculated slice is empty.

• Explanation: This warning indicates that the calculated slice for the initial samples is empty, which can happen if the progress calculation results in an invalid range.
• Solution: Verify that the initial_samples and related parameters are correctly configured, and adjust the steps or total_latent_sections to ensure valid slicing.
