This session will look at ComfyUI, a powerful GUI for combining AI nodes to create custom workflows. In this session I’ll start by explaining what Comfy is, how to use it, and the pitfalls first time user's experience. Then we'll build our first video workflow and look at common approaches using vid2vid, controlnets, and ipadapters. Lastly, we'll explore community workflows and how to install all the necessary nodes for them.
