Disco diffusion produces some really good results, but it's becoming more and more unstable, if you encounter errors. use Waprfusion instead: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoardKeHlqeKedk

[@leandrorighini6137]

Hi, Thanks for the tutorial, nice and clear. Just checking regarding the steps - 333 seems kind of arbitrary and it makes the process much heavier on GPU. I usually use between 30-70 steps in the Deforum colab for stable diffusion. Wondering if you have been testing and experimenting with the step settings?

[@MDMZ]

Hi Leandro, I have tested lower values yes, it did work for me on several occasions, but like I said the combination I showcased worked on this particular video, you can definitely try lower steps value, if it works it should save you so much time

Hi, thanks for the tutorial. I have some confusion I hope you can help me. In the prompt section there is this line "100: ["This set of prompts start at frame 100","This prompt has weight five:5"], }" should I delete this? And for the random seed, I saw you type in numbers what is that and how it is better than Random seeds Thank you so much

This is it, it's just a variation of DIsco difusion

This is what AI art should be. Not those who use AI with stolen image and made huge amount profits with it

U got it right, most people are confusing both aspects

This video is amazing, but there's 1 thing I'm wondering, my step 4 is very slow, it looks like gonna take a whole day for a 120 frames video, so if I subscribe for Colab Pro and got the cloud GPU supported, will it boost the process even faster?

[@MDMZ]

yes from my experience subscribing to the pro plan makes things faster, but not dramatically.

getting colab pro will make it run much faster

[@ERMAC6]

First, I thank you for this great information. I have a problem. The maximum level it reaches is 6% framerate, and it stops. And the call sign remains on Connecting. The signal does not return until I do disconnect and delete runtime?

[@OznerAC]

According to your settings. Do you know exactly how much storage (on google) do you need during the proccess? i supossed to have 6GB free, but now it appears that is full. it only worked 5 frames from 357 in total. BTW, Great work on this video.

[@MDMZ]

Hi Ozner, I don't think I used more than 3gb for this one , but it's possible that the source files use up much space, what you can do is back up the files locally, delete the AI folder and start over, this will save you so much space

[@manuelhelbling8727]

you can push SD for a similar effect, I believe there are certain models that gets you there, not exactly the same look, but at least it works a lot faster
