ComfyUI-FastVideo

ComfyUI-FastVideo

A custom node suite for ComfyUI that provides accelerated video generation using FastVideo. See the blog post about FastVideo V1 to learn more.

Multi-GPU Parallel Inference

One of the key features ComfyUI-FastVideo brings to ComfyUI is its ability to distribute the generation workload across multiple GPUs, resulting in significantly faster inference times.

Wan2.1-I2V-14B-480P-Diffusers

Example of Wan2.1-I2V-14B-480P-Diffusers model running on 4 GPUs.

Features

• Generate high-quality videos from text prompts and images
• Configurable video parameters (prompt, resolution, frame count, FPS)
• Support for multiple GPUs with tensor and sequence parallelism
• Advanced configuration options for VAE, Text Encoder, and DIT components
• Interruption/cancellation support for long-running generations

Installation

Requirements

• ComfyUI
• CUDA-capable GPU(s) with sufficient VRAM

Install using ComfyUI Manager

Coming soon!

Manual Installation

Copy the FastVideo comfyui directory into your ComfyUI custom_nodes directory:

cp -r /path/to/FastVideo/comfyui /path/to/ComfyUI/custom_nodes/FastVideo

Install dependencies:

Currently, the only dependency is fastvideo, which can be installed using pip.

pip install fastvideo

Install missing custom nodes:

ComfyUI-VideoHelperSuite:

cd /path/to/ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/Kosinkadink/ComfyUI-VideoHelperSuite.git

If you're seeing ImportError: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory, you may need to install ffmpeg

apt-get update && apt-get install ffmpeg

Usage

After installation, the following nodes will be available in the ComfyUI interface under the "fastvideo" category:

• Video Generator: The main node for generating videos from prompts
• Inference Args: Configure video generation parameters
• VAE Config
• Text Encoder Config
• DIT Config
• Load Image Path: Load images for potential conditioning

You may have noticed many arguments on the nodes have 'auto' as the default value. This is because FastVideo will automatically detect the best values for these parameters based on the model and the hardware. However, you can also manually configure these parameters to get the best performance for your specific use case. We plan on releasing more optimized workflow files for different models and hardware configurations in the future.

You can see what some of the default configurations are by looking at the FastVideo repo:

• Wan2.1-I2V-14B-480P-Diffusers
• FastHunyuan-diffusers

Node Configuration

Video Generator

• prompt: Text description of the video to generate
• output_path: Directory where generated videos will be saved
• num_gpus: Number of GPUs to use for generation
• model_path: Path to the FastVideo model
• embedded_cfg_scale: Classifier-free guidance scale
• sp_size: Sequence parallelism size (usually should match num_gpus)
• tp_size: Tensor parallelism size (usually should match num_gpus)
• precision: Model precision (fp16 or bf16)

model_path takes either a model id from huggingface or a local path to a model. Models by default will be downloaded to ~/.cache/huggingface/hub/ and cached for subsequent runs.

Inference Args

• height/width: Resolution of the output video
• num_frames: Number of frames to generate
• num_inference_steps: Number of diffusion steps per frame
• guidance_scale: Classifier-free guidance scale
• flow_shift: Frame flow shift parameter
• seed: Ran
