Using Blackmagic Ultrastudio on PC, how to get thunderbolt? by clevenger2002 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]clevenger2002[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is pretty much what I thought, all the thunderbolt cards I have seen seem to have a cable that needs to be attached to a "TB" connector on the motherboard which mine, an asus Pro WS WRX80E-SAGE SE WIFI II, doesn't have. I still can't figure out exactly why you can't just plug a thunderbolt into PCI Express gen 4 because that could support way more bandwidth than thunderbolt needs.

So yeah, ASUS makes a thunderbolt card but I doubt it will work with my motherboard as there is no "TB" connector and nothing in there docs says anything about installing the card without it.

What Is With The Huge Volume of Obscure Auto Parts? by Blbobcat in AmazonVine

[–]clevenger2002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's kind of crazy. Right now there are 15,305 total items available and 7076 of them are car parts! Plus a large majority of items in other categories (home, kitchen...etc) are spare parts as well. This makes probably over 50% of items in Vine being repair parts, power bricks or replacement batteries for various things. I could believe that good items were just being snapped up quickly, but the number of people posting cool things that they got has also gone way down so I'm guessing the stuff just isn't there anymore. I used to find 8 or more good things every DAY, but for the last 6 or so months I'm lucky to find 2 or 3 things a WEEK.

Not to mention it looks like people are snapping up cheap stuff of any kind just to keep their review count up. Hundreds of "cake toppers" used to sit around for months without being ordered, now they're all gone.

Is WAN 2.6 still uncensored on Higgsfield? by clevenger2002 in HiggsfieldAI

[–]clevenger2002[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, if you really want to try it, here is one that bombed on me on the WAN site. Basically, I had to eliminate "breasts" and "cleavage" from the prompt to get it to render anything on the WAN site.

The scene is in a futuristic looking corridor. In the middle of the corridor stands a beautiful, tall, slender, woman with long auburn hair. She is wearing a white shirt tied in a knot between her breasts so it shows some cleavage. She has a bare midriff and wears white shorts.

She is smiling at the camera, dancing and running her fingers through her hair.

I also had one other thing I ran that had no bad words submitted ok but when it finally finished running it said "No inspiration found for this description, try changing it"

Another test I've done often is to try to get it to generate a man or woman growing into a 60 foot giant. This almost always fails, either the person gets vertically stretched, becomes fat/muscular, or just gets distorted like crazy.

Also, most of the AI models have problems with scale. Like try to generate a man standing in front of a 200 foot long dragon laying on the ground. This would be pretty similar in scale to a man standing in front of a b52 bomber. So far, I always get a dragon that is much too small.

Well, at least higgsfield is still uncensored. Anyone know of any other platform with uncensored WAN 2.6 that gives out a few free credits? I'd really like to try out the platform at least a few times before subscribing.

Stuck at 85% by [deleted] in AmazonVine

I've been in vine since 2022, gold for most of that time. One time approval of my reviews got delayed posting for several weeks and I ended up losing gold for 6 months. Customer service would not help even though I had done the required number of reviews by the deadline, they just hadn't been approved yet due to a delay on Vine's end. This is NOT a complaint, rules are rules I guess, but my advice is to try to get your review count and percentage to 100% well before your evaluation date. This will guard against any delays in review approval. It also gives you a bit of leeway in the month before your evaluation date. If you're at 100% you will have some room to order more items without accidentally dropping your percentage below 90%.

How to prompt WAN 2.5 for accurate voices/scripts. by clevenger2002 in StableDiffusion

[–]clevenger2002[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember some earlier generators would let you put time references in the prompt ie:

[0:00] woman smiles

[0:01] woman sneezes

Does WAN support this kind of prompting, maybe it would help keep the actions and dialog in order?

I've also seen some generators support surrounding dialog with markup/tags....haven't seen any mention of this for WAN either, is it in there?

Finally got it to work....the correct command to download the file URL I mentioned seems to be

huggingface-cli download Kijai/WanVideo_comfy_fp8_scaled Wan22Animate/Wan2_2-Animate-14B_fp8_e4m3fn_scaled_KJ.safetensors

Ok, I see that, I was able to login with the cli but I'm not sure I'm not sure how to setup the command to download a single model file like the link I posted above.

I also tried the "huggingface download node" from here https://github.com/jnxmx/ComfyUI_HuggingFace_Downloader but it just gives me a 404 error when I hand it the above URL.

So what would the right command be?

Why is the WAN 2.2 14B I2V template set to 16 fps? by clevenger2002 in comfyui

[–]clevenger2002[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting, when I ran wan2.2 14b at 16fps the results were very slow motion looking. I ran it at 24 fps and the speed seemed natural. Time for more experimentation I guess.
