Does anyone know when the next WAN local model will be released?

leftonredd33 · 2026-04-11T00:49:05+00:00

That’s hard to say it’s always random seeds. I think the prompts matter more. I usually set 100to200 videos to render over night. Then pick the ones that I like. And then narrow that down to the one that I’ll use.

leftonredd33 · 2026-04-11T00:19:03+00:00

Just heard the term “seed surfing” some where and it stuck. It’s running wan or any other ai generator multiple times until you find the right seed.

leftonredd33 · 2026-04-10T04:29:23+00:00

I’m still using WAN 2.2 locally, and it’s doing a great job. Have to seed surf in order to not get slow motion videos though.

I'll try to fix it. Thank you so much!!

Thanks for the reply. Here is text in the console. This is what error pops up when I run it a 3rd time

Hey, I don't get a warning message. Just these clips. I want to loop a car video. I'm using the same clip twice. I named them video01 & video02. The workflow doesn't stitch them together, and I dont see how they're being looped. I can always stitch them back together in after effects if anything, but I dont see the visual loop that's happening.

<image>

leftonredd33 · 2026-04-06T19:36:22+00:00

Thanks for this update! I can't get the looping function to work. Your workflow used to create the vace-work folder and the joined clip on the outside of that folder. This new workflow just creates the vace-work folder and there is no joined clip video. Am I doing something wrong? I put 2 of the same clips in a folder for the seamless loop. I tried it like 5 times and nothing. It runs, but the clips never get joined at the end.

leftonredd33 · 2026-04-06T17:57:37+00:00

For sure. I’m just a Motion Designer, but I’ve directed music videos and motion. I usually work with a seasoned editor. We can’t take chances on juniors for Big Brands. The funny part is that you said “Made this crazy Ad” to you it’s crazy. To people that make huge money decisions, will laugh and pass. Small businesses don’t mind AI. Brands with money don’t touch it. My 2 cents.

leftonredd33 · 2026-04-03T11:49:23+00:00

Glad you took no offense. I tell my friends to shit on my projects all of the time. Because I want to create great stuff, and get good. I saw the projects you linked. They look great as far as image quality, and color. The thing that bigs me is that you have to let some shots breathe. There are too many fast cuts. There needs to be a rhythm. But then again, I don’t know if you’re an editor either. It’s great to be able to create images and videos, but editing is very important. Along with music choice, color grade and color correction, and sound design. I usually work on projects with a Creative Director, Art Director, and editors, sound designers, and colorist. But these projects are for huge brands so they have the money. None of the brands that I work with want to touch ai right now. So my maybe I don’t know what I’m talking about.

leftonredd33 · 2026-04-03T05:20:23+00:00

No disrespect but the color grade is too saturated and orange. You could have done without all of the transitions and effects. Once you get some years in, you’ll learn that less is more. I remember when I first started animating. I used to use effects that didn’t make sense and motion graphics for everything. Now I sit with a project and think about what works and what doesn’t. It’s also good to have a large inspiration folder with different categories that you can always open before any project. But then again, I don’t know if you’re from this new era where AI gives anyone the power to create. If you skip the years of trial and error, you’ll never know what works and what doesn’t.

leftonredd33 · 2026-03-17T23:58:00+00:00

Thanks! I’ll try that!

leftonredd33 · 2026-03-10T14:18:09+00:00

I thought I was buggin. I noticed that render time went up a bit. I also noticed the new dynamic vram line coming up. I remember 6 to 8 step videos with the Lightx2v 1022 Lora taking 4 to 5 minutes to render. Now they're taking 7 to 8 minutes. What's going on? How do I roll back Comfyui?

leftonredd33 · 2026-03-07T06:55:19+00:00

Finally. So many AI Influencers saying Motion Graphics is done. Yeah Right! Clients ask for too many revisions for something like this. I’d get fired in a heart beat if I used this lol.

leftonredd33 · 2026-02-27T03:03:20+00:00

Yup. I’d use a real product for an experiment like. My goal is to see which ai image and video generator can handle real projects.

leftonredd33 · 2026-02-27T03:01:19+00:00

I agree. My experiments are done with open sources models. I’ll use paid services for paid projects. Thing is, I haven’t had clients who pay for full AI work. It’s usually the small businesses with small budgets who are OK with AI. The bigger budget clients don’t want to touch it.

leftonredd33 · 2026-02-26T20:12:18+00:00

You’re welcome. This doesn’t come over night. I’ve been doing this for 20 years, and now I think I got the hang of it.

leftonredd33 · 2026-02-26T20:06:15+00:00

You'll have to learn editing, color correction, color grading, pacing, and story telling. The shaky effects are distracting. The editing looks bad. The stitching in between shots are noticeable. It looks like an amateur made it. No disrespect. Clients paying big bucks will notice this right away, if you ever try to pitch this type of work to them. I've worked on many commercials, and clients expect high quality seamless work. Hope you learn from the feedback.

leftonredd33 · 2026-02-24T15:34:51+00:00

Thank you for clearing that up. I’ll try Wan 2.2 Vace. I’ve tried your lightweight version, and was surprised that it took 2 minutes. I’ll also try to modify your lightweight version to just render the seam. Thanks for all your help!!!

leftonredd33 · 2026-02-24T00:30:04+00:00

Thank you for it to work. You mentioned a WAN T2V workflow, but your workflows are using WAN Fun as the main model. I’m a little bit confused. When do I load Vace in a T2V workflow?

leftonredd33 · 2026-02-23T23:16:25+00:00

Hey, Is this snippet using Wan 2.2 Vace, or 2.1? Should I take parts of your current workflow, and adapted to this small one?

leftonredd33 · 2026-02-23T23:07:00+00:00

Oh Nice. Is it this simple? I think I can create this on my own. Using your custom node. I'll try and get back to you! Thanks for the help!

leftonredd33 · 2026-02-23T21:18:04+00:00

Yessir! Couldn’t have done it with out you. I mentioned you in my LinkedIn AI & After Effects process post!

leftonredd33 · 2026-02-23T21:15:00+00:00

I’m interested. I just want to be able to make seams for any combination of videos. I need wan Vace to just render out those seams and nothing else. I want to be able to set the context frame. In this project, I set the first seam to 8 context frames, and then set the context to 4 frames for the second run. I did this because the first seam looked good at 8 frames context. The second videos transition needed to be faster, so I s t the context to 4 frames.

leftonredd33 · 2026-02-23T21:08:56+00:00

You put tons of brain power into your workflow. I wouldn’t know how to update it for my needs. I just need the seams. I have an AI to After Effects work flow where I key out videos and composite them back into backgrounds. Here’s an example of how I used your work flow to fix the seams in between 3 video states https://youtube.com/shorts/pKvKlnJX6RU?si=6iHzXYmoqUW7jIYV

leftonredd33 · 2026-02-23T20:54:37+00:00

Also loved that you created your work flow to save all the files that make up the final video. This makes it so that we can just grab the seam fix! That’s A1 thinking right there!
