1 - Load VACE Wan2.1 Model

Select the appropriate Vace Compatible model and assets for VACE Wan2.1 generation:

• Wan2_1_VACE_1_3B_preview_bf16.safetensors: VACE diffusion model loader for VACE Wan2.1
• umt5_xxl_fp8_e4m3fn_scaled.safetensors: CLIP text encoder for prompt understanding in VACE Wan2.1
• wan_2.1_vae.safetensors: VAE decoder for high-quality VACE Wan2.1 frame outputs

2 - Enter Inputs for VACE Wan2.1

Prompts for VACE Wan2.1

• Positive Prompt:
  • Guides the motion dynamics, visual style, and scene consistency across VACE Wan2.1 frames
  • Descriptive and vivid language (e.g., "sunlit meadow, cinematic lighting, vibrant atmosphere") can produce richer, more coherent VACE Wan2.1 animations
• Negative Prompt:
  • Helps avoid unwanted visual artifacts in VACE Wan2.1 outputs like "blurring, deformation, distortion, dark patches"
  • Including terms like "smooth, clear, detailed" can further stabilize and enhance the flow of the generated VACE Wan2.1 video

Reference Image for VACE Wan2.1

• Input your reference image which will guide the style of the VACE Wan2.1 video generation.
• The Orientation corresponding to the Source video will likely give better results in VACE Wan2.1 processing.

Source Video for VACE Wan2.1

• Upload the Source video, which will be used as the Depth Control Video for the VACE Wan2.1 model.
• You can change video's duration and FPS from the VHS load video node directly for customized VACE Wan2.1 outputs.

3 - VACE Wan2.1 Sampler

The Settings are already set to best parameters for VACE Wan2.1, but feel free to change and test with other sampler settings to customize your VACE Wan2.1 experience.
