animatelcm/video-to-video

Upload 10-15 second dance video with a 9:16 aspect ratio. Ensure the aspect ratio is correct, otherwise the video may look stretched or cropped.
Upload the target face image you want to swap to
Describe your subject & background; supports batch prompt like "0": "prompt A", "50": "prompt B" to switch at those frames.
Number of denoising iterations; more steps refine detail and stability but take longer.
Controls how strongly the output adheres to the prompt versus allowing creative variation.

Introduction of AnimateLCM

AnimateLCM empowers you to transform dance videos into new, visually compelling scenes while preserving motion accuracy, character integrity, and choreography detail. By combining AnimateLCM, ControlNet systems, and face-swapping capabilities with tools like Dance Video Transform ComfyUI Workflow, it ensures professional, high-quality video outputs that merge style, structure, and expression seamlessly.

AnimateLCM makes it possible for creators, performers, and content enthusiasts to reimagine short dance clips into expressive outputs with new faces, styles, and visual effects. It enables you to load a dance video, provide a face image, and apply scene prompts, generating smooth, high-resolution videos with natural blending that highlight both movement and expression.

Key Models for AnimateLCM

AnimateDiff

AnimateDiff drives smooth motion preservation throughout the generator, ensuring that movement in dance sequences remains consistent and natural. It applies context-aware settings that allow choreography details to flow seamlessly across frames while enabling temporal coherence for both fast tests and full-length video transformations.

LCM LoRA

The sd15_lcm_lora LoRA accelerates sampling and stabilizes convergence at very low step counts. Applied to both the base model and CLIP, it enables fast previews and full-length renders with reduced flicker, making the pipeline practical for longer vertical videos.

How to Use AnimateLCM

Inputs Required

You will need to provide a video through the Video input, which forms the foundation of the transformation, and an image through the Image input, which supplies the face reference for swapping. Additionally, you set a Prompt that describes the style or scene changes you want. Together, these inputs define the essential content and transformation instructions.

Optional Inputs and Controls

Adjusting Frames Per Second (FPS) and Output Format allows flexibility in playback and video compatibility. Set Frame load cap to 50 for a quick test, and then set it to 0 to get the entire output.

Outputs

The system produces video outputs in formats such as video/h264-mp4, with frame rates controlled by your chosen Frames Per Second (FPS). You will receive both a raw version reflecting the transformed scene and another version with face swap applied, ensuring you can verify style, motion accuracy, and natural blending.

Best Practices

When supplying your Video input, aim for a clear dance clip with a 9:16 aspect ratio for best results. Provide a high-quality Image input for smooth and convincing face integration. Use descriptive and concise language in your Prompt to guide transformations effectively. Keep Seed and Steps consistent for reproducibility and adjust FPS or Output Format to match your intended publishing platform.
