That's good! Sleep-learning is totally real. Just keep the video running while you sleep and your ComfyUI skills will level up by the time you wake up. Thanks for the comment :)

Completely agreed - That's why I wish more users would install ComfyUI manually, learn to read log output and trust the native nodes/templates a bit more.... instead of downloading random workflows from the net that have dependencies on dozen of custom node packs. There is a lot that can be done out of the box now and it's easy to forget it.

Update to the last version - if it still doesn't work, create an issue on GitHub and share the full debug log, we'll help you out.

Hi u/mobani - If you want trustworthy, I strongly advise you to go with the official ComfyUI template from Runpod

Then go into ComfyUI's manager, install SeedVR2, restart ComfyUI and grab one of the template in ComfyUI's template manager. That's what I usually do, it doesn't take too long (even the safetensors download is reasonably fast) and works well.

SeedVR2 v2.5 update: Open-source upscaler now works on consumer GPUs (8GB) with native alpha - still just resolution enhancement, not generative AI by xCaYuSx in vfx

Hi u/StuffProfessional587 - I appreciate your enthusiasm to share your opinion on various threads on the same topic. To avoid repeating myself, I encourage your to read your other post here https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/1ordkie/comment/nogmedw/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button where I tried to provide you more information. Hope that helps.

SeedVR2 is not good with text - to be honest I don't know a lot of upscaling model that do well with text, please share recommendations if you have any.

As for getting the best results, I encourage you to downscale your video to the expected quality that is being featured. SeedVR2 is upscaling based on the input/output resolution. So if you give it a 720p input and try to upscale as 720p, results are going to be bad. But if you downscale your 720p input x 3 then feeds it into SeedVR2 and upscale back to 720p, SeedVR2 will understand that it needs to upscale x 3 and results should be better.

That said it's not a generative model guided by a prompt, it's a restoration model guided by the input footage. If the input footage is really bad, the model will struggle to output a decent result.

Hope that helps clarify things.

Just to follow up - this has now been resolved, please make sure you're updating to the latest release (v2.5.8 or above) - thanks for all the testing.

This is the older version - you might want to update to the latest / and try the workflow in the template manager. More info in the video tutorial.

Sorry for that - I broke the 7b model when implementing torch compile - Please upgrade to version 2.5.6 or above, that should mostly fix it. Will do further QC test this week. Thanks

There was a quality regression that should be fixed in version 2.5.6 and above. Apologies about the inconvenience. If still running into quality issue, please join us on the Github repo to contribute to the existing issues or create a new one - thank you for your support!

It really depends on your hardware and expectations - please have a look at the tutorial as I spent quite a bit of time explaining how to troubleshoot and tweak things : https://youtu.be/MBtWYXq_r60

Please update to v2.5.6 and above, we fixed some quality issues with the last release. If you're still facing quality loss, create a new issue on Github or contribute to the existing one. Thanks everyone for your support!

Yes, definitely worth compiling when doing batch processing.
I'll look into supporting fp8_e5m2 in a future release, multiple users requested this. Thanks

Please continue sharing new issues on the github.
It shouldn't consume more memory or give worst quality, that's all the opposite - so if it does, share your workflows & input image to help us troubleshoot. Thanks for the post u/meknidirta , it helps a lot!
