ComfyUI: Advanced Understanding (Part 1)

[@latentvision]

So always wanted to do "advanced" introduction tutorials... This is a test of what they could be. I'm not sure if I'll do more, depends on the reception I guess. Let me know what you think! Thanks!

[@yngeneer]

Thank you. I'm for more of that stuff.

[@barrenwardo]

TBH, we need more of this. I've seen many tutorials but no one taught about conditioning stuff at all while it was a really essential thing which I learned now. Thank you. Please keep making more.

[@R3dBubbleButNerfed]

The part about CLIP (combine, average) is great. I learned a lot (and I'm using ComfyUI since a while).

[@candirsky]

Thank you for sharing your knoledge and putting your time into making these videos! Can't wait for other advanced introduction tutorials!

[@rickguzman9463]

I'm only half way through this video and needed to pause it to say THANK YOU, Matteo. This channel BY FAR offers the best, most informative SD educational content (for my need, anyway). I am humbled by your expertise and generosity.

[@KonoShunkan]

I think I learned more about the basics in these 20 minutes than I have in the 3 months or so that I've been using SD. I feel sure that everyone who subscribes to your channel will want more of these-I know I do!

[@ankitgadhvi]

Same here. It's the stuff I have been using but really had no idea what it was but now I do. Really simple and in-depth tutorial.

[@wennie2939]

Got the exact same feeling, lol

[@ted328]

As a Stable Diffusion noob the temptation to stick with tutorials for "fast" or "easy" methods is too real, but naturally the shortcuts come at the expense of truly understanding what goes on under the hood and how to have even greater control over generations. Detailed but beginner-friendly breakdowns like this are a godsend! Thank you so much!

[@TheDoranMaster]

Man, I cannot believe how much help you provide this community. You’re truly amazing! Thank you so much for caring about the community so much. Your knowledge is invaluable! ❤

[@joelheath8456]

This is the exact type of information I have been looking for ever since starting Comfy. By far the best tutorial I have seen yet. I feel that this is the perfect balance of theory and practical information. It's not often that experts on these things are also great communicators, but you have an incredible talent for both. Thank you.

[@clavarx11]

I dont consider myself a noob, but these basic tutorials are always enriching. Please keep doing them.

[@ohshie]

This tutorial in 20 minutes can taught you more than watching 4 1 hour random ass tutorials on youtube. Straight to the point, explaining how things work under the hood but still keeping it pretty simple and immidiately showing you the difference AND though process behind it. Amazing!

[@MarkRiverbank]

Please, more. Even after using Comfy somewhat extensively, the explanation given here of conditioning and the options for combining multiple prompts filled in some knowledge gaps and most importantly provided a clear explanation of why and how they have the impact that they do.

This is the best course I have ever watched. Please continue until the end. You are a great value..I am grateful..

[@crow-mag4827]

This is exactly the kind of content I’m looking for. Tutorial videos need more details just like this. I hope you continue to do these.

[@jsalmont]

Gifted teacher. Confident, humble, and fun to listen to. Love the in depth quick coverage of concepts followed by immediate application. I wish you great success stranger :D

[@lasescosem]

I learned infinitely more from this single video than from hours and hours of videos from other channels. A huge, huge thank you!

[@jdates]

Your explination is the first plain english explination of how SD and Comfyui is processing i've found.. Thank you, I look forward to more.

[@javierstauffenberg3414]

This is gold ! No other tutorials out there explaining the underlying theory as well.. Please keep posting these :)

[@joangonzalez8394]

Your depth of knowledge and the way you are able to explain everything is unreal. You are the Himothy of ComfyUI. Im glad i found your channel Matteo!

[@onewiththefreaks3664]

I like this in depth basics very much and think they stand out from other contributers. Even though I consider myself an intermediate in like getting mostly the results I want, but the how and why was and still is quite obscure. This is actually really helpful! Thank you very much for your work!

[@elihusolano5993]

THIS IS AWESOME and the tutorial is more understandable than a lot of introduction videos out there!!!

[@RokSlana]

Wow, this is a gold mine in plain sight. This is the kind of content I'd like to see more of - actually explaining stuff, going beyond copy-paste videos. Loved the sampler explanations. Would love to see more of that. Learned about conditioning also. Great stuff. I wish I found this channel earlier. Thank you!

[@siskavard]

Agreed, as someone coming into this completely new, it's very helpful

[@potusuk]

Thanks so much Matteo, many realise how much you are doing for this platform and how deep your knowledge is of this but to take time to produce a well presented and precise tutorial that has explained many steps / prcosesses that many of us have been having to simply accept without knowing quite what they do is very much appreciated.

[@binarybrian]

Oh wow. This was amazing. I thought it would be the usual boring how to install models and custom nodes, etc, etc but you went in to how to use the conditioning combine, average and concat nodes and I never realized you could load the unet and clips separately. So much great information and details here. Would love to see more. Thank you.

[@hamedsadeghizadeh6660]

I thought I knew the basics but after watching your video, I realized that I was wrong. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us.🌷

[@Dorizdt]

This entire channel is all that needs needed for this subject. tbh there is so much junk on KZbin on this subject to stumble into this channel to find the explanations and advice, 1000% worth the subscription.

[@shashankkhanna177]

1000% the most valuable comfy tutorial on youtube. I watched a few "basic" ones but couldn't even understand what the hell everything meant

[@KooroshGhotb]

Extraordinary! I'm using ComfyUI for almost 4 months and I always guessed the values, but your tutorial taught me the logic behind it. Many kudos to you. Please teach us more

[@roktecha]

Even though I’ve been using Comfy for several months now I still learned a lot from this video (and all your other videos). Greatly appreciate all you do. Thank you.

[@terrorcuda1832]

Fantastic tutorial! Keep them coming. One of the best and clearest explanations of conditioning that I've seen yet.

[@adamjohnson3702]

This has to be the best and most concise explanation of conditioning I’ve seen. Bravo. A lesser content creator could have milked that section for 20 minutes alone. Thanks for your work on custom nodes and these great tutorials too

[@BernardMaltais]

This is really great content. I never played much with conditionning but your tutorial has giving me interest in playing more with that over the week-end!

[@b0nyb0y31]

Truly appreciated this. A lot of people coming from A1111 usually don't have enough understanding to approach ComfyUI systematically. Hope to see more of this series.

[@danieljfdez]

You keep me teaching that I'm not aware of many things! Thanks a million for your effort! I'm really addicted to your tutorials!

[@Fakery]

Very emphatically, I want to see more like this

[@PaulPerroneB]

Excellent video! Best introductory explanation of ComfyUI I’ve seen, and that’s coming from a dev. Please make more. 👏

[@kunalpuri9492]

Can’t believe I haven’t binge watched this series and I’ve been using ComfyUI for 3 months. You’re an absolute star! Thank you so much for doing this.

[@JohnSundayBigChin]

I've been watching tutorials for a year and no one has ever explained so well and with examples what each thing does. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.

[@aq2kamisama]

Your content is real gem , easy to understand ,very detail explained and you get into the pain point when I start comfyui , comfyui beginners should find your content before they start

[@Str8RawLife]

If I had to choose I think it's so much more important to have these than advanced tutorials. I prefer to gain deep knowledge of the basics instead of simply following complicated tutorials. Thank u 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@murphylanga]

I must express my admiration for your extensive knowledge; there is so much I can learn from you, and I find it truly captivating. If I watch your videos, I always learn something new. Thank you very much

[@josecunz]

finally someone who make a tutorial about the basics and fundamentals, without skiping the technical part of it, cannot wait for the next ones ⭐

[@ranks6670]

I have been using comfyui for close to half year and this hands down the best comfyui tutorial ❤❤❤

[@wellshotproductions6541]

I just rewatched your video. Such great content. What you said in your intro: (paraphrase): "This will be a basic intro to ComfyUI...**but also about generative machine learning in general**". Yes please! Like many others, I've had a blast paying around with SD and generative text to image...the chance to learn more about it from such a great teacher is awesome! If I can learn and understand the machine learning concepts better...Thank you!

[@Analycal]

I've been waiting for this type of tutorial from you. I wanted to understand the "behind the scene" workings of ComfyUI and image generation, and this video is perfect! I also love the effects and diagrams you put. Thank you for this.

[@Mila-o6p]

Best tutorial I've encountered. Sat through the whole thing, pausing, taking notes and rewatching. Thank you. More of this please.

[@a-a-ronb123]

You were able to break down complex topics into easily understandable subcategories and kept the content engaging. Fantastic job

[@Elwandesign]

This is an excellent introduction and also memory refresher. I have been using ComfyUI for a few months but your clip text conditioning part explained a lot to me and so was the part about the sampler and scheduler. keep it up and thank you again.

[@digitus78]

been playing with stable for awhile and seriously just played guess a model and sampler until now. This tutorial actually laid out the differences in plain form. Thank you.

[@mrbates100]

This is absolutely fantastic! I thought that I knew the basics already, but I learned a ton from this video. This is the best Comfy tutorial that I've seen. Your explanations are so clear and easy to understand. Thank you so much! Please do more of these tutorials!

[@raducodreanu2309]

I believe this style is amazing for beginners like me, many videos just describe what you can already see in the interface without adding much needed context or explanations. Understanding fundamentals is really important to me so thanks!

[@AkshayAradhya]

This is a top tier tutorial. I have seen many tutorials over the past week, but yours is the only that explains every parameter, node and type in depth. Your style of explanation is perfect. Keep up the amazing work.

[@PNGpyro]

Thank you so much for doing this, your tutorials are precisely what I want from an informative video - in depth, concise, and fast without skipping details. Your stuff is the absolute best I've seen on ComfyUi, hands down. Please do more of these basic, in-depth tutorials, they're great.

[@jemo]

Echoing other comments: learned more in your aweseom video than even paid Udemy course. Mixing advanced and basic concepts is a winning model! More PLEASE!!

[@HollywoodCameraWork]

Thank you, thank you, for these proper introductions to ComfyUI. Most other tutorials are either far too advanced, or far too simple and leaving the rest to superstitious settings. Your videos have the right level of detail to get a foothold in SD/ComfyUI as someone who actually would like to understand it. For example, nobody so far bothered to explain the relationship between the latent space and the VAE, either because it's too obvious for them to say, or because they don't know. Thank you for good tutorials.

[@javi.araguz]

This is probably one of the best Comfy tutorials I've ever seen. Thank you. Please continue!

[@lukeovermind]

Well clearly people want more of this! Me included, learned a lot in 20min then a whole years worth of average tutorials and content. Some of us want to dig a little deeper and have a better understanding. This should be considered fundamental. Well done Matteo! Eager for the next video. Now if you will excuse me I am of to go play with those conditioning nodes!

[@darrynrogers204]

This is an excellent tutorial and really does hit the mark you were aiming for. It has made a few things clear to me that were up until now just mysteries that happened under the hood of ComfyUI.

[@BuckwheatV]

These have been the most valuable tutorials that one can find while transitioning to comfyUI! Thank you!

[@harishsuresh8707]

I really apprecate the approach you have taken to this video. I've been using ComfyUI and SD models for 6 months, but this has given me such a fresh perspective on how it really works under the hood. Instead of blindly prompting with a trial and error approach, you've helped me understand how the conditioning really works, and how I can achieve better results based on logic instead of guess work. Really looking forward to seeing more such videos and seeing a mix of both basic and advanced content!

[@courtreinland6285]

I wish there were more of this kind of tutorial - many beginner tutorial perhaps due to popular demand are light on what a thing actually does. They just skip straight into the how to. Thats fine, maybe optimal even for some people. But if you really want to get into a topic you find there’s a large leap between that and more in depth which usually involves lots of reading docs etc. but this kind of tutorial lets you understand and do at once, more like a college course. Great work.

[@oberdoofus]

most excellent tutorial. I've come away having learnt more in 20 minutes than I have in 4 hours of bouncing around with standard youTube junk from so-called 'experts'. I come from A1111 and until very recently have been sleeping on comfy, but I'm really heartened by the standard of tutorials for comfy - there seems to be a nice mix of technicians and artists giving out very helpful info

[@agiuser]

The best tutorial I’ve watched so far 😮thank you! This is what actual tutorial should look like

[@edsonjr-dev]

Best overall content about ComfyUI, my like and watchtime 100% 💜💜💜

[@NadeemAhmad-lq9dr]

A very very heartful thanks for the tutorial. I have watched so many, but rarely people explain the inner workings so brilliantly. Thank you very very much!!! Please do continue with the series.

[@4E_r4t]

In 20 minutes you have explained what it took me months to learn by searching and browsing the web.

[@johndfool8153]

Extremely useful: deeper understanding than usually available online while keeping it extremely clear. It helps not just to use a tool but to really get what's happening under the hood. Possibilities grow exponentially, this way. I'd love to see more. Thanks.

[@ysy69]

This is excellent providing deeper technical insights to Stable Diffusion innerworkings. The reason why Comfy was created in the first place, to understand how does it work under the hood. This is excellent and looking forward to more.

[@igormukomela7896]

This is the exact type of information I have been looking for ever since starting Comfy. it's the best tutorial I have seen yet. that this is the perfect balance of theory and practical information.I'am not fluent in English but I understood everything. thanks to this tutorial I realized that I need to switch from automatic 1111 to ComfyUI

[@OscarLindahlofficial]

Really enjoyed this tutorial, Matteo! It’s really great that you cover the theory more in depth, would happily pay for a course of this level of work. Keep it up!

[@ankitgadhvi]

I've been using comfy ui for 1 month now. I've learnt from many tutorials and can do some basic stuff but your tutorials are in depth and gives an understanding of why and how things work. Now with the same work flow I can be even more artistic. I say don't stop till we reach the tutorial part 100th because I'm sure you've that much knowledge to share. Thanks for sharing.

[@TriNguyenKV]

Thank you. 20 minutes well-spent. Great and easy to understand introduction.

[@alexgilseg]

thank you so much for this! as a beginner I usually follow your videos without fully understanding what I'm doing. This is exactly the type of content I've been looking for. Thank you! 🙏

[@eliluong]

this is gold. I was just thinking I have no clue what a ksampler does and need to know how to make my own workflow. 💯

[@swannschilling474]

Thanks a lot for this deep dive into the basics! You made me transition to Comfy which I found overwhelming and too technical at first...now its my lovely little playground!! Thanks to your help 😊

[@cel1759]

On a Sunday morning, there's nothing quite like improving oneself, and today you are the catalyst for that. Thank you.

[@Luxcium]

I have made a comment before reading any other comments which are basically saying the exact same thing as I said this is a very very strong indication that the author must definitely be doing more videos like that and I think it would be very helpful for everyone in the community 😅😅😅😅

[@SkyOrtizCreative]

This is AMAZING!!! You are such a fantastic teacher and I really appreciate all the work it must take to do these. The information on the conditioning was all brand new to me, as well as different types of sampler and vae. Super useful and inspirational. Thank you so much, please keep doing these ✨🙏🏼✨

[@SK-ke8nu]

Thank you so much for explaining the background of different aspects of image generation. As an engineer, it helps a lot to get a feeling of what happens 'under the hood' and not a lot of people can explain it like you can!

[@ssn4k3]

I absolutely love this tutorial. Finally something in-depth instead of regular YT "oh, this is VAE it does something to the image dont worry about it" :-) Thank you for making this!

[@HisWorkman]

This was fantastic. Yes, definitely would like more videos. I learn a lot each time. I don’t think anyone has explained so succinctly the concepts of using the three models in Comfyui without a checkpoint. Well done!

[@robertfarkas5270]

Many thanks for this. Comfy is a deep rabbit hole, but now it seems deeper than ever:)

[@АндрейС-з7б]

Пожалуй впервые на ютубе настолько понятные учебные материалы. Невероятно! Респект и уважение!!! Огромное спасибо!

[@MichaelConroy]

Wow! Your video did what no one else could - a simple easy to understand explanation of how it all works. Thank you!

[@catlover999]

Thank you for making such advanced, insightful tutorials. I haven't come across any videos explaining the why's. Thanks again

[@pixelcounter506]

Everything starts with the basics. Therefore your explanations are highly appreciated. More of these are always very welcome. Thanks, Matteo!

[@joshlake1882]

Absolute master class, please do more like this. You cut right to the heart of it all and I feel like I'm starting to truly understand it thanks to you.

[@olexryba]

Fantastic advanced & basics mix! Please do a lot more!

[@JemyM]

Wow, I have listened through several beginners guides on ComfyUI and I learned more from this than I done since I began using SD...

[@sgsrules]

This was fantastic. Even though i consider myself an intermediate/advanced user there's a ton of stuff you covered that i wasn't aware of. A million thanks, please do more of these. I'd love to see one that covers animatediff since i have a hard time getting high quality results out of it.

[@bobchang325]

I believe we all need such a basic tutorial, because there are too many parameters we do not know how to choose, such as the several options mentioned in the tutorial about the condition, if we test it by ourselves do not know how long it will take to understand, heartfelt thanks♥(computer translation, may not be accurate)

[@nanakatsuchiya]

Thisbis acrually the best, easy, concise where it's necessary, in the right pace, thanks.

[@peterdavies8807]

Really happy I found your tutorial. I was in danger of using ComfyUI at a superficial level without understanding the complexity and power that lurks beneath!! Although this is complex stuff you are explaining I am certain it will be worth knowing! I'm looking forward to having this in depth knowledge! Thanks very much!!

[@wacom8199]

Hands down, this is the best introductory video. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@DataMysterium]

You are a legend! I’ve been using Comfyui and SD 3 months now, what I learned from your tutorial was a aha moment for me, much appreciated, I hope to see more advanced videos for you. Tank you!!

[@siltane216]

Meraviglioso!

[@imaHodophile]

Thank you so much for taking the time to do these. I learned so much more from you about how images are created and what the ramifications are of the choices that I make in my comfyUI workflows.

[@Paddi_Wan]

This is a fantastic introduction, helps move past the basics of just connecting the clips straight to positive/negative. Looking forward to the next one! Thank you Matteo

[@frednights7626]

I appreciate that you made this tutorial: despite it being "basic" stuff, you were able to explain how it works under the hood in a straightforward way. Thanks a lot!

[@ericrmccormick]

Thank you for starting a basics series!

[@DaniilZvyagintsev]

Great tutorial. I've learned so much from you! Thank you Matteo!

[@3ool0ne]

Yeah you need to do a whole series about how these different nodes work. I don't think I have seen anyone actually explain each node at the level you are doing it. This brings power to the power user. Thank you.

[@fabioinspires]

Please create more videos, you knowledge is needed by us. It is a fresh of breath air to watch a tutorial from someone who has total control of ComfyUi

[@latentvision]

I will, thanks! 😄just need to wait a little longer

[@fabioinspires]

I wanted to make sure that someone replied to you request. I'm setting my alarm for 4:30 am to get back into watching your videos. I'm a nuke vfx compositor and the way you have created images has made me reconsider my career and do a deep dive into your IPADAPTER for visual effects. One of the test I'm trying to make is take a face video and make that person look like an anime character but keep all the facial expressions and movements of the original video. Do you have any suggestions?@@latentvision

[@anylatent]

Thanks so much Matteo，These contents are very good, because SD itself is still a very new thing. These basic contents can allow us to grasp the essence and better understand why we should do this.I will study every video of yours carefully.
