Stable Diffusion IMG2IMG Settings Pt. 2 (Consistent Animations!!)

[@soulwynd]

The img2img alternative script runs the model in reverse to find the noise pattern that would generate an approximation of that image and then uses it as seed for the actual generation. So it is a way to do fine adjustments to an image. Also it is only precise in the euler sampler.

[@enigmatic_e]

Thank you for sharing this info. It’s good to know.

[@AscendantStoic]

Basically it's a rotoscoping setup for much cheaper and quicker than the traditional methods.

[@jonhanson8925]

Seriously, this is an artistic revolution, the likes of which we haven't seen... ever!

[@more_tezza]

A few other tricks that could help; 1- reducing the number of frames without deleting every other frame; you can do that in adobe premiere, after effects or whatever software you use to export into single frames. You just reduce the frame rate before exporting. 2- Use DAIN ai frame interpolator or similar, so you can use with even less frames per second. Then input into DAIN and it will create the in-between frames even smoother. 3- 2D animations are usually made with 12 or 15 frame per second. So you can reduce the jittery-ness even more by just reducing the frame per second to 12 or 15 fps, and it won't look weird at all. Because animation audience are used to reduced frame per second videos. For example Rick and Morty characteres move at about 12 fps. I am an animator and thanks for your videos. I am really excited to try this technique out and make some content.

[@enigmatic_e]

Thank you for the tricks! I’m definitely interested in reducing frame rate to something 12 fps and testing that with frame interpolation! I will definitely try that next time!

[@victor-antonioali378]

If you open your original clip in premiere,create sequence from clip, then go to sequence settings, you can drop the frame rate from what you have it to less, say 24fps to 12fps, then export as png img sequence without having to delete the pictures...

[@ozguraltay]

You can control the background by reducing the "denoising strength", but you will lose the changes in the character. I watched some other videos about video generation via img2img but yeah, the "frame blending" is the catch for smoother non-stuttering AI transition videos. This video totally dope! Thanks for sharing it 👍

[@RhettMankind]

Maybe also worth checking out Pixelmotion blur in AE. Double the length to get original time-frame back (from deleting every 2nd frame) keep frame blending and also add pixelmotion blur. It interpolates the expected blur on moving images to bring back natural motion.

[@enigmatic_e]

Nice, is that a plug in already in AE?

[@RhettMankind]

@@enigmatic_e Yes it's default in AE.

[@Adrischa]

well done video honestly I love your "how to delete every second file" technique. it's such smooth little hack. also never new about mass renaming. the stable diffusion stuff is cool too tough :P

[@spearcy]

Great tips! I hadn't thought about using the frame blending method to smooth it out, but that makes sense. It also makes me wonder whether using optical flow might help sometimes, too. But in your example, when you hit that frame blending tab, it really made a difference. Thanks again!

[@IGORTSARENKO]

Here is a tip: create 12FPS composition in AE when you are exporting your video as PNG sequence and it will make your life easier to import it back again and you don't have to rename files.

[@ROMTHIRTY]

Note for people who don't work with video, "12FPS" is only true for 23.976 FPS footage. Essentially half your normal frame rate in the composition.

Thank you so much for taking the time to help us. You are a blessing to humanity brother. I mean it. ❤

[@tantarantaran]

cool stuff, thanks for sharing! quick tip with the first part of the video: you can set different frame rates in your AE comp on the original footage (8, 12 etc) in Composition Settings, then export picture sequences before you plug them into SD. this way it's easier to play around with lower framerates instead of having to delete them manually. Instead of frame blending, you can try the Time Warp effect in AE, which is pretty much the same just with more settings. But what I would try next, is dropping the video frame rate to something like 10, then using an AI frame interpolation algorythim like TVP instead of the built in AE one. Those algorythms are trained for cartoons and will give a lot better results than the pixel morphing AE effects. this is just theory though, I'm yet to try this next week.

I have been using SD v1.5 and it is SIGNIFICANTLY better than 1.4. In fact I now prefer the overall quality over MJ. But since MJ uses SD the next release of MJ v4 will incorporate SD v1.5. Things are moving so fast.

[@jonmichaelgalindo]

You can also use SD to style animations you render in Blender. SD is more creative and diverse than EbSynth.

[@mdahsenmirza2536]

You can also do another thing, increase the fps to like 120 and then slow down video, smoother video with overall less jittery video + spamming de-flicker node on davinci resolve

[@robc3d]

It's interesting, I've tried this technique shown here, on nerdy rodents page, and on max novak's channel and the alternative test scripts dont seem to function the same way at all. Turning on the script immediately breaks any style tokens you add in the prompt, override denoising strength doesn't seem to have the same function as you guys display, and the sigma checkbox locks it down even further. Are you guys testing this on the most recent git pull? All the videos showing this off are from a couple days ago and i dont think the updated version runs the same. I've tested this on brand new clean installs on 2 machines and it just doesn't function the way you guys are showcasing.

[@enigmatic_e]

Hey, i can tell you that its just tweaking things. Ive had my image look good and sudden i change the a word in the prompt or change a value by 1 unit and it becomes a total messed.

[@robc3d]

@@enigmatic_e appreciate the reply and im sure that plays a part, but using the same source images settings and prompts yield completely different results. Particularly with the override check boxes that were introduced that do not exist in any of the videos on this topic including yours since they were made before the update. Something has changed recently guess anyone trying this now will have to wait on clarification as people experiment.

[@enigmatic_e]

Ahh ok. I wasn’t aware of an update. I will def look into it.

[@thaolinh2637]

[@amj2048]

this is funny because I was wondering if I should remove every other frame and then use Topaz Video Enhance AI to do a slow mo version of my video, which would then use AI to fill in the frame gaps and then use Premier Pro to speed the video back up ... but watching your video, you've found an easier method

[@christiandarkin]

in after effects you can export your original frames at a lower frame rate - which should save a bit of messing around. Also, try using timewarp instead of frame blending. This uses a softer morphing technique between frames and you'll be able to get away with doing maybe 1 frame in 5 rather than 1 in 2 for a much smoother animation. also, how about separating the background and foreground so you can give them different settings. Maybe you could even motion track the background, export and run SD on just one frame of it (with some outpainting to extend the edges) then use the tracking data to animate that background. That way you'll have a rock-steady background painting. Finally, experiment with a "difference matte". This is a great way to key out only those parts of an image that stay the same between frames. Use a difference matte (slightly blurred) to create a b/w mask. then have after effects only "repaint" the sections of the image that change from one frame to the next. That way, if you've got (say) a closeup of a face, speaking, only the mouth will be redrawn for different positions, leaving the rest of the face untouched.

[@enigmatic_e]

[@phlerpdesigns9273]

so im curious about your framerates on this. Is the initial video at 30 fps for your png sequence, then you delete half, then take the you ai rendered sequence back into AE, but is it now faster than the original video? or does the frame blending change that? Going to try some of this out now, I like seeing this difference between the more jumpy part, frame blending is a cool trick, somehow never noticed that box was there

[@Tijootsu]

This tutorial really helpful to me for getting better output (90% expectations are reached) - I used the High Resolution image for sample (500 image), everyone can downscalling and adjusting the resolutions for get output quickly - used simple prompt (the output can to reuse for changing the main sample picture for next train Image) - img2img alternative enabled with same setting in this video. thats really helpful to getting output image - i used OpenPose [dw openpose full with sd15 openpose controlnetmodel] controlnet (getting same output the object and expression from data image train source) and lineart [lineart_realistic and sd15 lineart model controlnet] controlnet (I Think this controlnet really useful for painting the full area of each data image train) Again bro.

So the whole video has to already be in a stylized frame? My video has a lot of different people and scene changes.

[@traviscislo6260]

Could “frame blending” be another name for “image interpolation “? Cause that would make perfect sense why it becomes so smooth and retains the consistency longer. image interpolation is an amazing tool that I rarely see used. Basically predicts the frames in between two separate stills. It can easily turn a 30 fps vid into a 60fps. It works wonders on old (and new) claymation videos!!

[@MVARTZ]

So interesting dude, well explained too. At least for an AI beginner like me it was easy to follow.🤙

[@rjdstudios4901]

Very helpful! Im rendering a long video now and Im going to try this. I do have a question. Ive been shooting my videos in 60fps in the hopes of having more smooth end results, but if this video is the case, would you suggest shooting in 24 or 30fps and still deleting every other frame?

You can shoot in 60 fps and test results. You can always remove frames after you want to.

[@forgottenalex]

I wonder how well the blending would be if you ran the images through a RIFE or DAIN

[@adam.dachis]

I was thinking this too. I doubt the results would be perfect, but I think there's a strong chance they'd look better than AE's frame blending. I'm also curious how Adobe's other frame interpolation methods would perform. I'm guessing worse (in this situation). I don't think it'll be all that long before this is an actual feature in SD, though. I don't know the ideal path to achieving that, but given that many AI algorithms have focused on compensating for change over time in the last couple of years, I wouldn't be surprised if it happens. Image generation is already progressing at an insanely fast rate. I wish I had more time to play around with these techniques right now.
