Utilizing Deforum Features
Animation Settings
Begin by exploring the animation settings through the Deforum tab:
- Access detailed animation setup guides to understand the intricacies of keyframing and prompt customization. It's essential to note the specific adjustments required for prompt weights, especially related to positive and negative splits.
Real-Time Viewing
To monitor animation frames as they are crafted:
- Adjust settings in the 'Settings' tab to see frames as they are created. Remember, this might slow the generation process slightly.
Running Scripts and Managing VRAM
Execute scripts to generate animations. In 3D mode, a delay might occur as depth models load. Users can expect VRAM usage to peak at approximately 6.4 GB. By initiating the webui with the '--lowvram' command, users can reduce this significantly.
Viewing Results
Upon completion, the results can be viewed directly within the GUI, allowing for instant feedback on the generated animations.
Community and Support
Engage with the vibrant community by joining the Deforum Discord server, where users can share their creations, seek help, and collaborate. For any technical hiccups, the 'Issues' tab on the repository page is an excellent resource for troubleshooting.
Known Issues
It's important to note that due to script modifications and updates in the webui's handling of Stable Diffusion models, this extension may not fully match previous outputs or experiences with earlier software versions.
