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.

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

[@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!

[@clavarx11]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@javierstauffenberg3414]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!!!

[@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.

[@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

[@terrorcuda1832]

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

[@lasescosem]

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

[@PaulPerroneB]

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

[@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.🌷

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@edsonjr-dev]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@javi.araguz]

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

[@Fakery]

Very emphatically, I want to see more like this

[@Mila-o6p]

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

[@olexryba]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@ranks6670]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@Homopolitan_ai]

Thanks for this, well structured, perfectly explained, top guidance by example, and your voice, who could ask for more. It's so good to revise the basics with some in depth after spending so many hours in Comfy by oneself. 😘

[@wellshotproductions6541]

"...and your voice..." Seriously, let's read some poetry out loud to each other after the tutorial.

[@a-a-ronb123]

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

[@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 😊

[@808dopamine]

This video earned my subscription! Sometimes the best foundational tutorials on the basics come from the most advanced understanding of the subject. I’m a beginner who’s been watching these tutorials for a while now wondering, how do they know what node to choose? Why connect this node to that node? You need the basic building blocks to understand how to become an architect. Great work!

[@BuckwheatV]

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

[@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.

[@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 ✨🙏🏼✨

[@DaniilZvyagintsev]

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

[@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!

[@SebAnt]

Thank you Matteo! 🙏🏽 one of THE best videos ever I've seen on ComfyUI

[@latentvision]

hey thanks, sorry I didn't see your super thanks earlier. I really appreciated it

[@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.

[@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.

[@jameswigglesworth8132]

Incredibly detailed and useful! Keep it up

[@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 ⭐

[@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.

[@_walkman]

Please keep going. Your guides is incredibly detailed and answers all my questions!

[@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!

[@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!

[@lesslyrics]

There is already part 3. This is the highest professional level. I look forward to every new episode! Hats off!

[@catlover999]

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

[@wacom8199]

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

[@agiuser]

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

[@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.

[@jurgenmayr8164]

Danke!

[@lizhang-b1x]

Your videos are one of the must-see tutorials of all，please keep making more, thank you so much🎉🎉

[@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

[@BenjiArt]

Another great one! This is my favorite YT channel for ComfyUI. Question for you - would you share with us how you gained so much knowledge about this Stable Diffusion and ComfyUI? Hopefully a little about your background and your journey to master sensei? I would eagerly enroll in your future Lyceum!

[@Debtfreemoney]

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.

[@kalicromatico]

Thank you for all this. I use comfy a lot for professional projects, but every minute of this video has a lot of information i didn't have. Thanks

[@madhudson1]

incredible tutorial. mind was blown when you introduced the conditioning timestep range

[@g3r1]

Amazing work, thanks for teaching it with such patience and passion. Keep uploading this content. I'm sure there are thousands of people who will benefit from your content! Thanks for sharing.

[@wellshotproductions6541]

This is a fantastic tutorial! I hope that it is the first of many more like it. Such a great balance between setting up the basics and introducing core concepts that will undoubtedly factor in heavily moving forward. As others have said, Your ClipText explanation and exploration were superb! I learned a lot of new stuff, and I have seen all of your videos. I'm not just subscribe-- I check for a new video from you every day. This is the kind of great content that some people would try to put behind a paywall, and rightfully so IMO, but you don't. Wow. Subscribe folks!

[@markmanburns]

The most useful video on ComfyUI and how the nodes work. Thank you so much. You are a very talented instructor.

[@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.

[@pixelcounter506]

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

[@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

[@ericrmccormick]

Thank you for starting a basics series!

[@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! 🙏

[@TamirLousky]

This is an absolute gem of a tutorial. Was super useful for me, I can now much more confidently play with the settings or alter complex existing workflows. Thank you!

[@PradeepKumar6]

Amazing, beautiful and very informative. Even though i am learning it from reddit and everywhere else. The content here is truly new with reasons. This is better than all the how to. This is a video which deals with why. Thanks for the video. Keep them coming

[@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!!

[@kanto1971]

Such a polished great work, Matteo. ComfyUI community is stronger with you.

[@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.

[@SKYFX2000]

Love your basic tutorials, I am relatively new of comfyUI and yours are concise and straight to the point about their usefulness. We need more of them so we can follow and understand your more advanced ones.

[@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!

[@andhivan]

Great clip. This really helps me understand ComfyUI process so we can write prompts efficiently and effectively to get the desired images! Thank you! Keep educating us! Looking forward to see Part 2!!!

[@TriNguyenKV]

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

[@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.

[@brgtubedev001]

Thank you for the wonderful tutorial. Your tutorials are among the best available, and I cannot wait to see how you teach ComfyUI.

[@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.
