After knowing the details of ComfyUI, let's go to the main topic, learn how to use ComfyUI Text to Video.

First of all, you need to install ComfyUI, you can choose the official integration package, or one-click launcher, this article recommends you use the official integration package.

Step 1: Download the official integration package from the ComfyUI GitHub page, and navigate to the folder where you saved the package after completing the download.

If you are using Nvidia GPU, you need to double click run_nvidia_gpu.bat file to start ComfyUI, if you are using CPU, you can click run_cpu.bat to open ComfyUI.

ComfyUI's main folder:

• comfyui: The home directory where the program runs.
• update: Used for version update.
• run_cpu.bat: run ComfyUI with CPU.
• run_nvidia_gpu.bat: run ComfyUI with Nvidia GPU.

Step 2: Make sure your text description is clear and detailed, open the text-to-video section in the free section, paste the checked text content into the specified field, at this time, ComfyUI will start to automatically break down your text and recognize the key scenes, character dialogues, visual elements and so on.

Step 3: You can set up various requirements such as video style, scene switching, background music, and other parameters after the text is processed by AI.

Step 4: After determining the parameters of the video, click the Generate Video button, ComfyUI Text to Video will start to generate video according to the decomposed text and settings automatically, the length of the waiting process depends on the length of the text.

Step 5: After waiting for a few minutes to get the finished video, you can view the video in the interface, if it meets your needs, then you can click Download to save the video or share it on social media.

To fully utilize the ComfyUI Text to Video feature, and generate high quality videos that perfectly fit your requirements, you need to keep the following tips in mind:

• Describe the text in detail: The more specific and detailed the text required for the video content, the better the AI understands it and the better the generated video will be.
• Try various styles: Don't limit yourself to the default style, try different video templates to match the perfect video.
• Add music: One of the most important points to make the generated video perfect is to upload your own audio to create the right ambiance.

If you want to learn how to create workflows on ComfyUI, then this section teaches you to create Text to Image ComfyUI workflows as an example, and you can also create other workflows by analogy.

If you are using ComfyUI for the first time, then you will see a default workflow, if you want to start over, then you need to jump to the bottom left corner of the page and click Clear to remove the existing nodes.

Step 1: Add K Sampler node.

Right click in the workspace, and select K Sampler in Sampler, so that K Sampler will be added to your workflow.

Adding the sampler together with the scheduler gives better generation results, so you can choose an optimized scheduler such as euler_ancestral.

Some key parameters of the K sampler.

• Random Seed: Corresponding to the value of the seed in the webUI, the value defaults to 0, which guarantees that the same photo will be generated with the same amount of seed.
• Post-Run Action: There are four options: fixed, add, subtract, random.
• Steps: Represents the iteration steps in the webUI, usually set between 30-40.
• CGF: Determines the relevance of the cue word, the higher the value, the more the generated image matches the cue, the lower the value, the more creative freedom the AI has.

Step 2: Add Load Model node.

Drag the model connection point to the function area, and select the Checkpoint Loader node, where your model will be loaded. This needs to be repeated for future nodes as well.

Step 3: Enter prompts and negate prompts.

You will see two nodes labeled CLIP TEXT ENCODE, enter your hint in the top node and your negative hint in the bottom node.

Step 4: Add Image Size/Batch node.

Drag the Latent connection point, and select the Empty Latent node to resize the image, and batch settings so you can set the width, height of the image.

Step 5: Add VAE Decoder node.

Drag the Latent node and select VAE Decoder. Then you can start generating the image node build.

Step 6: Add Image Preview node.

Drag the Image node and select Preview Image, then the generated image will appear here. And you can right-click to preview and save it locally.

At this point, the entire text to image workflow has been set up, you can click the Add Prompt Queue button to enter text, and begin to experience the process of generating images. Please note that this Text to Image workflow can be saved and reused.

Note

If you encounter a red error message when generating an image, it means that some of your nodes are not clicked correctly, you need to check the nodes, make sure that the yellow node is connected to the yellow node, and so on, after checking, you can generate again to get the image.
