sd-webui-controlnet VS ECCV2022-RIFE

A crucial step for achieving stable diffusion controlnet settings is the installation of the controlnet extension in Google Colab. Whether on a Windows PC or Mac, installing controlnet is vital for stable diffusion of human pose details. Additionally, updating the controlnet extension is necessary to maintain stability and achieve the desired results in OpenPose model. To install the v1.1 controlnet extension, go to the “extensions” tab and install it from this URL: https://github.com/Mikubill/sd-webui-controlnet. If you already have v1 controlnets installed, delete the folder from stable-diffusion-webui/extensions/. Install the v1.

1.1.420 Image-wise ControlNet and StyleAlign

I opened a request thread on ControlNet GitHub you can give a support : https://github.com/Mikubill/sd-webui-controlnet/issues/2319

It has been possible for 7 months now

I sometimes use a very similar technique in Cinema4d (here is a link to a c4d file with preset materials referencing proper colors for Semantic Segmentation if any other c4d user wants to try it), but yours is a much more accessible solution as it's free and it's accessible online.

There are models available that give you more control - in some senses, at least.

For example, you can use Stable Diffusion with 'ControlNet' [1] where for example, you can input an 'openpose' to choose the pose of people in the scene.

There's also a 'Regional Prompter' [2] which lets you use different prompts for different areas of the image, giving you some control over the composition.

You can also use 'inpainting' to regenerate select parts of your image if, for example, you don't like the shape of the clouds.

Of course this stuff isn't perfect - for example, you'll get hands with the wrong number of fingers sometimes, no matter what you specify :)

Check out RIFE.

Using Flowframes with the RIFE model, run 2x interpolation on a folder of video frames.

Personally I have mine set to use RIFE AI via TensorRT for frame interpolation(x2), if the FPS is 30 or less.

Oh now that I saw this comment, I started to investigate frame interpolation techniques using AI and found this: https://github.com/megvii-research/ECCV2022-RIFE

Yes but you need to use a different AI first. There are multiple AI like RIFE (there are apps for it if you don't like code) that will smooth out your animation. Then you can use those frames with Novel AI to get a more organic look in the end.

To have more smooth effect you can reduce frame per second and add FILM or RIFE between frames.

Interpolated with https://github.com/megvii-research/ECCV2022-RIFE

Sure! This would be my approach (and tools) if I was smarter:

If you make the generations with some similarities and use the right interpolation, you don't need 1000 images like my video and can obtain a smooth movement.

First, generate images with some kind of visual anchor (background, an object). You can use frames generated using the previous frame as reference image, or the same seed but different prompt/parameters, or you can go wild using img2img/inpainting (btw I struggle to find an inpainting tool for Stable Diffusion: they seem to be just img2img with a mask, without contest).

Then pass the generated images to one of the most recent interpolation algorithms, like this one https://github.com/megvii-research/ECCV2022-RIFE or the one used in the replicate we are commenting on (someone posted this reference: https://github.com/google-research/frame-interpolation )

The first link reports some free and paid implementation and a Colab, so depending on how deep you want to go, you have a lot of choices.

In the end, I'd use some good app to stabilize the image if needed, to get a more "calm" look. I use Luma Fusion, but it's a paid app (cheap, one-time payment, for iOS). I'm sure there are a ton of open-source implementations.

It's an approach similar to the animation on replicate, but it allows a lot of fine-tuning and you can add new animation ideas/tools to the process.

Nothing revolutionary, but I hope it helps!

> You have generated some pretty cool designs.

Thanks! I put in a lot of work in the last weeks. The project has a mission, I wrote something, but it's not ready yet. I believe it will be with the launch of Dall-E 8 :-/

You'd probably get way better results by using something like RIFE to do interpolation and recreate missing frames, instead of minterpolate. I understand though that it's more effort as you'll need to install and setup RIFE.
