WEBVTT 00:00.870 --> 00:03.480 -: All right, let me walk you through Comfy UI. 00:03.480 --> 00:06.210 So, we're using Google CoLab to run this, 00:06.210 --> 00:08.250 because to be honest, 00:08.250 --> 00:10.680 I've struggled to get it to work on my Mac, 00:10.680 --> 00:12.360 there are some issues there, 00:12.360 --> 00:15.390 and it's built really to work on Windows. 00:15.390 --> 00:18.990 Using Google CoLab you can run it on its own separate system 00:18.990 --> 00:20.700 with an Nvidia GPU. 00:20.700 --> 00:21.840 I would recommend, by the way, 00:21.840 --> 00:23.820 you upgrade to CoLab Pro. 00:23.820 --> 00:25.890 I haven't for this case, 00:25.890 --> 00:28.620 just because I'm just running the most basic model, 00:28.620 --> 00:31.050 the Stable Diffusion 1.5, 00:31.050 --> 00:33.660 but if you wanna run Flux, or some of the other stuff, 00:33.660 --> 00:35.940 it's a Stable Diffusion Excel, 00:35.940 --> 00:37.620 then you're probably gonna run out of memory, 00:37.620 --> 00:39.780 and will need to upgrade. 00:39.780 --> 00:42.360 You go into this CoLab and it's pretty straightforward, 00:42.360 --> 00:46.863 you just run this thing here to set up the environment, 00:48.360 --> 00:52.380 and just create some space, and all these things. 00:52.380 --> 00:56.370 So, if you look here, it's ComfyUI folder, 00:56.370 --> 00:58.680 and it's got a different, 00:58.680 --> 01:01.410 it's gonna download the models and stuff into here. 01:01.410 --> 01:02.790 So, this is what you would have 01:02.790 --> 01:04.380 locally on your computer as well 01:04.380 --> 01:06.690 if you were running it locally. 01:06.690 --> 01:08.970 And that seems to be all done. 01:08.970 --> 01:11.280 And then you wanna choose which models you download. 01:11.280 --> 01:13.560 So, in this case, for example, 01:13.560 --> 01:17.010 it's downloading the Stable Diffusion v1.5, 01:17.010 --> 01:20.010 and then it's gonna save that in the models/checkpoints. 01:20.010 --> 01:24.990 You could uncomment this, so. (voice clips out) 01:24.990 --> 01:28.740 Press Command + /, if you're on a Mac, 01:28.740 --> 01:31.200 and then it would download that model as well. 01:31.200 --> 01:34.170 I'm just gonna get Stable Fusion 1.5. 01:34.170 --> 01:36.570 And then we also just need the VAE, 01:36.570 --> 01:39.450 which is another kind of model that goes into models/vae/, 01:39.450 --> 01:41.430 and that's to decode the image afterwards. 01:41.430 --> 01:43.050 And there's a bunch of them in here there, 01:43.050 --> 01:45.870 and you could add whatever it is you want as well, 01:45.870 --> 01:47.910 like you could add Flux into it. 01:47.910 --> 01:51.717 But just gonna run this, just gonna download the model. 01:51.717 --> 01:53.417 You can see it's downloading here. 02:01.020 --> 02:03.240 And if you were doing this locally, by the way, 02:03.240 --> 02:07.140 you could download it into your ComfyUI folder, 02:07.140 --> 02:09.657 into models, and then checkpoints. 02:09.657 --> 02:11.910 And you can see it's downloaded it. 02:11.910 --> 02:15.270 There's also the vae thing here, 02:15.270 --> 02:17.420 and you can see that's been downloaded too. 02:18.540 --> 02:23.040 Okay, now I'm gonna run this with Cloudflared, 02:23.040 --> 02:26.280 I haven't been able to get the other way to run it working. 02:26.280 --> 02:29.913 So, the other way is with a local tunnel, or CoLab iframe, 02:30.870 --> 02:32.940 and this one worked just fine, 02:32.940 --> 02:34.900 this Cloudflared example. 02:34.900 --> 02:37.263 So, just going to run this. 02:37.263 --> 02:40.710 What this does is it runs it locally on Google CoLab, 02:40.710 --> 02:42.180 but then it creates a URL 02:42.180 --> 02:46.000 where you can actually try this out on cloudflared. 02:46.000 --> 02:47.820 So, that's pretty cool. 02:47.820 --> 02:50.043 You're just gonna see that comes up with it. 02:52.650 --> 02:54.453 Yeah, here we go, this. 02:57.810 --> 02:59.590 And it's still loading. 02:59.590 --> 03:00.923 Just gonna wait. 03:03.060 --> 03:03.960 And what this is doing 03:03.960 --> 03:07.860 is this is running the ComfyUI interface, 03:07.860 --> 03:12.090 but then getting it to load on this URL, 03:12.090 --> 03:14.627 and it takes a little bit of time to spin up, 03:14.627 --> 03:16.823 you can see it's blank right now, it's still loading. 03:17.790 --> 03:18.900 And while that's loading, 03:18.900 --> 03:20.047 let me just talk to you a little bit 03:20.047 --> 03:22.785 about how to get it running on your own local computer. 03:22.785 --> 03:25.463 So, I recommend this guide, 03:26.344 --> 03:28.590 "How to install Flux AI model on ComfyUI." 03:28.590 --> 03:30.360 This is a stable diffusion art website, 03:30.360 --> 03:31.590 so it should work great, 03:31.590 --> 03:33.630 and they walk you through how to do it. 03:33.630 --> 03:35.610 There's a few different things you need 03:35.610 --> 03:38.910 when you're running the ComfyUI. 03:38.910 --> 03:41.430 One is that you need to download the model, 03:41.430 --> 03:42.720 which is what I already showed you, 03:42.720 --> 03:44.550 and that goes into models and checkpoints. 03:44.550 --> 03:47.340 And so, in this case it's this model. 03:47.340 --> 03:52.340 And then you also need to load the interface, 03:53.130 --> 03:54.180 like the workflow, 03:54.180 --> 03:56.160 which is gonna make a lot more sense to you in a second. 03:56.160 --> 03:56.993 Let me see. 03:56.993 --> 03:57.826 Okay, here we go. 03:57.826 --> 03:59.520 So, now this is loaded, 03:59.520 --> 04:01.950 and this is an example of a workflow. 04:01.950 --> 04:03.630 First of all, it loads the model. 04:03.630 --> 04:05.550 We can see, there's just this one model here. 04:05.550 --> 04:08.430 Any model that you add into your models folder 04:08.430 --> 04:09.330 is gonna show up here. 04:09.330 --> 04:13.350 Once you hit refresh, then it will update, 04:13.350 --> 04:16.860 and if you had another model, it would show it in here. 04:16.860 --> 04:17.970 And what these things are, 04:17.970 --> 04:19.710 these are different nodes. 04:19.710 --> 04:23.190 And the first node just loads the model. 04:23.190 --> 04:25.350 The second node processes the prompt. 04:25.350 --> 04:28.200 And then this one processes the negative prompt. 04:28.200 --> 04:29.033 So, this would create 04:29.033 --> 04:32.070 a beautiful scenery nature glass bottle landscape, 04:32.070 --> 04:33.390 purple galaxy bottle. 04:33.390 --> 04:34.287 That's the prompt. 04:34.287 --> 04:37.860 And then we don't want any text or watermarks on there. 04:37.860 --> 04:40.290 And then it initializes the image down here, 04:40.290 --> 04:42.960 and then feeds all that stuff up into the KSampler, 04:42.960 --> 04:46.590 which is where the actual kind of work happens 04:46.590 --> 04:48.630 with StableDiffusion. 04:48.630 --> 04:50.610 Then we have the VAE decoding. 04:50.610 --> 04:53.670 You can see that this is like a little bit more complicated, 04:53.670 --> 04:56.040 it shows the guts of the operation period 04:56.040 --> 04:58.110 compared to automatic fill of 11, 04:58.110 --> 05:00.930 where you can't really see a lot of this happening, 05:00.930 --> 05:03.390 this actually gives you all the different steps. 05:03.390 --> 05:05.130 And then it saves the image at the end, 05:05.130 --> 05:07.590 so I'm just gonna click Queue Prompt, 05:07.590 --> 05:08.850 and hopefully it works. 05:08.850 --> 05:09.690 So, you can see, 05:09.690 --> 05:13.260 it's lit in green where it's currently processing. 05:13.260 --> 05:14.220 Cool, it did all that, 05:14.220 --> 05:16.200 and now it's loading this. 05:16.200 --> 05:18.063 Decodes, and then saves the image. 05:19.889 --> 05:21.330 And here we go. There's the image. 05:21.330 --> 05:23.130 So, we have that saved now. 05:23.130 --> 05:25.740 And if we go back to our Google CoLab, 05:25.740 --> 05:30.440 we should be able to see where the images are as well. 05:56.850 --> 05:58.713 So, if we download this image, 06:01.560 --> 06:04.260 then you can see it's the same one that we saw 06:04.260 --> 06:05.370 in the interface. 06:05.370 --> 06:07.650 So, that's loaded locally. 06:07.650 --> 06:10.440 Now, the benefit of using ComfyUI 06:10.440 --> 06:13.200 is that you do get a lot more control over this, 06:13.200 --> 06:16.099 and this work is saveable and loadable. 06:16.099 --> 06:17.940 So you could go and save this workflow, 06:17.940 --> 06:22.209 or you could add new nodes, or whatever it is you wanna do. 06:22.209 --> 06:24.780 You can kind of load, reset the view, 06:24.780 --> 06:28.320 or kind of load in a bigger set of nodes, 06:28.320 --> 06:31.500 and get to the point where you have a full workflow. 06:31.500 --> 06:33.180 Maybe you wanna generate four images 06:33.180 --> 06:34.403 instead of something else, 06:34.403 --> 06:35.820 or maybe you want a change, 06:35.820 --> 06:38.580 run some tests where you sample two different times, 06:38.580 --> 06:40.140 or maybe for some workflows, 06:40.140 --> 06:43.320 like for some models, you wanna add like, additional steps. 06:43.320 --> 06:44.700 I mean, you can do all of that, 06:44.700 --> 06:46.500 and then whenever you hit Queue Prompt, 06:46.500 --> 06:47.520 then it's gonna run through 06:47.520 --> 06:49.230 all the different steps in order. 06:49.230 --> 06:50.820 And the nice thing about this 06:50.820 --> 06:55.290 is you can go and load these workflows from other people. 06:55.290 --> 06:59.397 So, if we go to top AI, 06:59.397 --> 07:03.427 you can see an example of this where, you can see, 07:06.477 --> 07:07.980 there's a bunch of different things in here. 07:07.980 --> 07:09.540 These are different prompts. 07:09.540 --> 07:10.680 We have the models. 07:10.680 --> 07:14.043 But then you can also find ComfyUI workflows as well. 07:16.260 --> 07:21.260 So, say for example, you wanted to make images like this, 07:21.360 --> 07:24.570 then it has all the code diagram, 07:24.570 --> 07:27.573 and you can see this one's a much more complicated one. 07:28.800 --> 07:32.700 And you could go and download these models, 07:32.700 --> 07:34.350 like they have a custom model here, 07:34.350 --> 07:37.110 like a custom anime model that they created, 07:37.110 --> 07:39.750 and then you can download the nodes. 07:39.750 --> 07:41.100 You can download, here we go, 07:41.100 --> 07:43.140 this version here, download that, 07:43.140 --> 07:47.190 and then you could go back into ComfyUI, 07:47.190 --> 07:48.190 and then click Load. 07:49.118 --> 07:51.090 And then you can choose that from it. 07:51.090 --> 07:54.660 That's quite useful, and adds to a lot of creativity. 07:54.660 --> 07:56.670 People can find recipes of things that work, 07:56.670 --> 08:00.003 and then they can share that with other people. 08:00.003 --> 08:02.760 So, I don't use ComfyUI that much, 08:02.760 --> 08:05.670 because it's a little bit overkill for my use case, 08:05.670 --> 08:08.130 and I think the main people that use it 08:08.130 --> 08:11.010 are people who are doing a heavy creative work, 08:11.010 --> 08:14.790 people who are doing text to video, 08:14.790 --> 08:17.670 or people who are doing other types of like, 08:17.670 --> 08:21.060 hardcore image generation stuff with a lot of custom models. 08:21.060 --> 08:23.640 So, it's worth checking out if you are going deep into that, 08:23.640 --> 08:25.380 it's what most of the pros use. 08:25.380 --> 08:28.530 But I wouldn't say I use it on a day-to-day basis. 08:28.530 --> 08:31.140 I also found that it doesn't work quite well on Mac yet, 08:31.140 --> 08:33.570 which I mentioned, so, hopefully, they'll figure that out, 08:33.570 --> 08:35.883 but it's still fairly early days.
