ComfyUI Node: FramePackSampler (F1)

FramePackSampler (F1):

The FramePackSampler_F1 is a specialized node designed to facilitate the sampling of frames in a video processing pipeline. Its primary purpose is to handle the generation of video frames by leveraging latent space representations, which are crucial for creating smooth transitions and maintaining consistency across frames. This node is particularly beneficial for tasks that require precise control over the timing and sequence of frame generation, such as video synthesis or animation. By focusing on frame-by-frame generation, the FramePackSampler_F1 ensures that each frame is accurately sampled and aligned with the intended timeline, providing a robust solution for video artists and creators who need to maintain high-quality outputs. The node's design emphasizes efficiency and accuracy, making it an essential tool for those looking to enhance their video processing capabilities.

FramePackSampler (F1) Input Parameters:

model

The model parameter refers to the machine learning model used for processing the frames. It is essential for defining the architecture and weights that will be applied during the sampling process. This parameter does not have a specific range of values as it depends on the model architecture being used.

positive_timed_data

This parameter contains the data that is positively conditioned over time, which is crucial for guiding the frame generation process. It impacts how the frames are sampled and ensures that the output aligns with the desired temporal sequence. The data should be structured to match the expected input format of the node.

negative

The negative parameter is used to provide negative conditioning data, which can help in refining the output by contrasting it with the positive data. This parameter is important for achieving a balanced and nuanced frame generation.

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 computation time. The default value is typically false.

teacache_rel_l1_thresh

This parameter sets the relative L1 threshold for the teacache, influencing how aggressively the cache is used. It is a floating-point value that should be adjusted based on the desired balance between performance and accuracy.

steps

The steps parameter defines the number of steps or iterations the node will perform during the sampling process. It directly affects the quality and detail of the generated frames, with higher values generally leading to better results.

cfg

The cfg parameter, or configuration scale, adjusts the strength of the conditioning applied during sampling. It is a floating-point value, typically close to 1.0, that influences the adherence to the conditioning data.

guidance_scale

This parameter controls the scale of guidance applied during the sampling process, affecting how closely the output follows the provided conditioning. It is a crucial parameter for fine-tuning the balance between creativity and adherence to input data.

shift

The shift parameter allows for temporal adjustments in the frame generation process, enabling fine control over the timing and sequence of frames. It is particularly useful for aligning frames with specific events or transitions.

seed

The seed parameter is used to initialize the random number generator, ensuring reproducibility of results. By setting a specific seed, you can achieve consistent outputs across different runs.

sampler

This parameter specifies the sampling method or algorithm to be used during the frame generation process. It is important for defining the approach taken to sample frames from the latent space.

gpu_memory_preservation

A boolean parameter that, when enabled, optimizes the node's memory usage on the GPU, allowing for more efficient processing of large datasets or complex models. The default value is typically false.

start_image_embeds

Optional parameter that provides initial image embeddings to guide the frame generation process. It is useful for starting the sampling from a specific visual context.

start_latent

The start_latent parameter provides the initial latent space representation from which the frame generation begins. It is crucial for defining the starting point of the sampling process.

end_latent

This parameter defines the target latent space representation for the end of the frame generation process, guiding the transition from start to finish.

end_image_embeds

Optional parameter that provides target image embeddings for the end of the frame generation process, helping to guide the final output towards a specific visual goal.

embed_interpolation

The embed_interpolation parameter specifies the method of interpolation used between embeddings during the sampling process. Common options include "linear" and other interpolation techniques.

start_embed_strength

A floating-point parameter that determines the strength of the initial image embeddings, influencing how strongly they affect the frame generation process. The default value is typically 1.0.

initial_samples

Optional parameter that provides initial samples to be used as a starting point for the frame generation process. It can help in achieving faster convergence and more consistent results.

denoise_strength

The denoise_strength parameter controls the level of denoising applied during the sampling process, affecting the clarity and quality of the generated frames. It is a floating-point value that should be adjusted based on the desired output quality.

FramePackSampler (F1) Output Parameters:

samples

The samples output parameter contains the generated frames, represented as latent space tensors. These samples are the primary output of the node, providing the final video frames that have been processed and refined through the sampling process. The output is crucial for evaluating the success of the frame generation and ensuring that the desired visual quality and temporal alignment have been achieved.

FramePackSampler (F1) Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the positive_timed_data is well-structured and accurately represents the desired temporal sequence to achieve the best results.
• Adjust the steps parameter to balance between processing time and output quality, with higher values generally leading to more detailed frames.

FramePackSampler (F1) Common Errors and Solutions:

Error: positive_timed_list is empty! Cannot sample.

• Explanation: This error occurs when the positive_timed_data is not provided or is empty, preventing the node from performing the sampling process.
• Solution: Ensure that the positive_timed_data is correctly populated with the necessary temporal conditioning data before running the node.

vid2vid - Warning: Calculated slice is empty.

• Explanation: This warning indicates that the calculated slice for the initial samples is empty, which may result in incomplete or missing frame generation.
• Solution: Verify that the initial_samples parameter is correctly set and that the calculated indices for slicing are within the valid range of the data. Adjust the effective_window_size or other related parameters if necessary.
