Advanced Prompting and Blending
Complex prompts require precise wording. Break down descriptions and use visual references if possible. The blend tool in some platforms helps refine specific shots or transitions between generated video segments, offering granular control over the final output without extensive re-prompting.

Optimizing WAN 2.1 Video Generation Speed
Optimize WAN 2.1 video generation speed in ComfyUI. Setting TeaCache model type incorrectly (e.g., 480p cache for 720p model) might increase skipped steps, boosting speed but potentially affecting quality. Monitor skipped steps in logs carefully when experimenting with these settings.

Emerging Models: HiDream Analysis
The new open-source model HiDream shows strong character consistency, especially for manga styles. However, prompt adherence needs improvement compared to models like GPT-4o. High VRAM (16GB+ recommended) is needed for local use. Its permissive license encourages finetuning efforts by the community.

Hardware: GPU Drivers & VRAM Considerations
Running larger models (SDXL, Flux, HiDream, WAN) requires significant VRAM (16GB+ recommended, 24GB+ ideal for optimal performance). Recent Nvidia driver updates (572.x series) have reported stability issues; consider older Studio drivers (e.g., 566.36) or research specific version compatibility before updating.

torch.compile Speedup for GGUF Models
Use nightly PyTorch builds and updated ComfyUI nodes (like ComfyUI-GGUF or KJNodes) to enable torch.compile for GGUF models. This can significantly speed up inference (e.g., 30% reported for Flux Q8_0), despite a longer compilation time during the first run.
