New Video Models & Workflows
FramePack released a one-click installer and a ComfyUI wrapper. LTXV 0.9.6 Distilled shows impressive speed and quality improvements. UniAnimate offers consistent human animation using Wan2.1 via DiffSynth-Studio. Check out the new SkyReels-V2 model for long video generation, though official links are currently down.

GPU & Performance Optimizations
AMD users see speed and VRAM benefits using Zluda over DirectML. New RTX 50xx cards need nightly PyTorch builds (cu128) for ComfyUI support. For video, 12GB+ VRAM is recommended, but LTXV Distilled performs well on less. Use SageAttention/Triton for potential speedups.

Sora Video Generation Challenges
Sora's image-to-video animation quality can be inconsistent, affected by the source image's style and lighting. Some users report better animation results when using images initially generated via ChatGPT. The Pro plan's 1080p video output might produce less fluid animation than standard resolution in certain scenarios.
Advanced Workflow Automation
Track generation settings using metadata saved with outputs (a ComfyUI feature). Automate video creation from image folders with new FramePack Batch command-line scripts. For ComfyUI users, the WAS Node suite allows saving text outputs (like generated tags or prompts) to files automatically.

Understanding Model Limitations
Video models like FramePack and LTX struggle with complex actions or drastic changes from the input image; describing the end state might help. Sora's content filters can be inconsistent, sometimes blocking edits of allowed generations, possibly due to separate filtering layers applied post-generation.
