5months later and still BY FAR the best guide for comfyUI. Going to watch through your playlist. Thanks g
My absolute favorite feature of ComfyUI is that the whole workflow, from prompts to control nets to seed values, is stored inside the final rendered image.
I recently learned some new composition techniques from this channel, and I could just load up an old image I wasn't completely happy with, improve it using this new knowledge, and create a new render -- no need to mess around with json files for configuration settings.
For other beginners that follow:
1. To make your learning much, much easier, it is not clearly stated, but absolutely essential that you have some working knowledge of how stable diffusion works or some experience of working with A1111 before getting into this. Of course, you can choose to learn this on the go side by side as well (but that may become overwhelming!)
2. Things that you need to know and should set up at the backend to follow along this series: a) Installing Comfy UI, b) Downloading models/ checkpoints, VAE, All controlnet models (Hint: SD1.5 and SDXL use different controlnet models), LoRAs, etc., (Note that in this video, it is explained how to link your existing A1111 downloaded models to ComfyUI).
3. This course follows SD1.5 in general. When using SDXL, workflow for how you provide the CLIP inputs changes slightly, so do check that out seperately.
Thanks. Do the A1111 file path in the Yaml File should follow a specific address pattern?. I renamed the Yaml file erasing the ".example" at the end of the file name and edited in the notepad and paste the address where my A1111 is installed. I save it as explained in the video, made reload in the manager, restarted the comfi ui but when the application were loading it said "json file path not recognized" in the terminal . I have backed up the original yaml example file and put it again and the comfy ui recovered, but I suspect that the system don't identify where the A1111 are. I installed both a1111 and comfy ui in the same secondary hard drive E: , not in C: due to space. Any idea of what I might be doing wrong? Thanks for the help.
Finally! I've been interested in ComfyUI for months now but was initially intimidated by it complexity. This will help us get familiar. Thank you!
same, i liked the interface but reluctant to jump in for fear of it being too complicated - i think i can take a splash now :)
Despite knowing comfyui rather well, i plan to watch through these. Its great to see a tutorial that is not locked behind a paywall. Thank you for making these.
I actually already learned something. I usually download my models manually so havent clicked on the model downloader.... seeing you can download controlnet models via that is a godsend. Its annoying to manually download each one of those so that will save a lot of time.
A tip on the reroutes. if you right click the dot for the out put and rename it you get that text in the centre of the reroute (where you would often just get "int" or "string" this helps make work flows easier to read as it gets longer.
This was such a great walk through! Slow enough to follow without being drawn out. Then you!
I came back to your series bc I've been working in llm. But img-gen is where my heart is. I'm glad you made this and it's still here.
Thank you very much for your support :)
I was really hesitant to using ComfyUI these past few months, until Flux. After watching your tutorial, I feel like I been missing out.
Perfect explanation for beginners! Could not be better at all. Not to short and not to long. Understood and ready to take your full course...
my guy is cable managing the software instead of the hardware, cute. Love your explanation man keep it going.
Thank you for this comprehensive tutorial. Love the fact you speak slowly so I have time to understand what you are saying. 💋
Excellent starting point, thank you! I really appreciate tutorials that concisely but thoroughly explain the ins and outs of a tool. Super helpful.
Thanks for most easy basic lesson on comfyui
Thank you so much Olivio. I never knew how much I needed you until now.😊
wrr,sayx, can sayx etc any nmw s perfx
So clear in your instruction. Thank you!
Clear, precise, and easy to follow along - thank you! :)
sweet. ComfyUI works so much better than a1111 or forge for very specific workflows.
Pinokio makes everything easy to manage too.
Best Teacher Ever 😀
Thank you so much for this. I can't find, like we can see at 3:45, ComfyUI_Comfyroll_CustomNodes , maybe it was replaced for Comfyroll Studio?
Thanks alot!
Another way I personally like to think of Comfy is its a program sandbox. Daily i find new use cases for this and to be honest its not all generating images too.
Edit: Also, thank you!
Reroute node for clarity 10.24 very clever. I like that concept!
Hey Olivio! I'm one of your 'bonehead' followers! LOL LOL. Well, I've been avoiding Comfy due to me NOT wanting to learn something new but my latest SDXL project and the out of CUDA memory errors (using Nvidia 4500 GPU with 20Gb of VRAM) hampered me so much (GAAA!!!) I've decided to give Comfy a try. Well! Since you took so much time putting out these tutorials, I'm going to take advantage. :) Thank you sooo, sooo, much! Keep doing what you're doing; we appreciate it.
Fantastic video! I'm still very new to ComfyUI and SD, and videos like this are helping me so much. :)
@olivio this video deserves so much more. All your your step by step videos are fanTAStic.
Ive been an img-gen fan of yours since the beginning of you doing this.
I have been away from img-gen due to politics and irl wars taking up my free-time.
BUT!
You are my go-to when I have real, substantial free time to make things!
I am going through your vids for the third time to refresh myself after many months of non image creative stuff I've been tasked to do. It feels like a year of hiatus from img-gen,,, for LLM learning and implementation. BOARIING. But necessary to know. le-sigh.
I guess... i am just noting this to you, here, so you know that your work, you lessons, are SO valuable, even if there might be a pause in viewership like mine and others.
I can't wait to see what you do next!
some really handy tips in this lecture.....Thanks Olivio 👍
Amazing mate. Loving confyui. Look forward to the next lesson.
Thank you so much!!!
Really cool you explain all the little things from the beginning.
ComfyUI for the win!
Excited for this series.. Have been struggeling to motivate myself to learn comfy ui but this guide series is really gonna help with that. Looking forward to it!
Love that you are working to get others involved in comfy.
Get others involved? Less than 2 minutes in he's expecting me to learn to code and compile something from github. This comfy is garbage
@@bigglyguy8429 Sounds likeeeee you want everything to be handed to you on a silver platter, yes sir no sir here you go sir. Copy a piece of text, paste it in a place, press enter, but no it's too much for piggly wiggly over here. Ok my brother in Christ.
@@johnjohn12044 Yeah, I work in the field of selling software, and regardless of the fee I would refuse to even consider selling Comfy. It's like a perfect example of bad software design, bad user experience and a lack of onboarding.
thx very usefull and clear, Very well done . thx for sharing and for the time and effort .
wow there is so many useful tips, thanks!!!
Very nice tutorial and very clear! Although as someone starting with SD, it would be handy to have a lesson where the basic terms are explained, such as models, lora, VAE, cfg, etc
Thank you!
This is excellent to see, it has bought me back to watching your content instead of just watching you talk about how great comfy is. It's great to see you showing people who have never used it before how to get going from day 1 interactions with it. I watched Scott Detweilers videos to learn comfy. He has some interesting opinions about the negative prompt box.
A little more advanced, but apart from the "sticky group areas", you can also select multiple nodes and click "create group node".
This combines all I/O & values into a SINGLE widget. You can integrate reroutes to create extra inputs & outputs as well. Drawback is that if you create a "wrongly wired" widget it will be hard to debug, but it can be very useful to visually simplify very complex workflows.
I'd recommend using a symlink type folder structure instead of altering the extra_model_paths.yaml. This way you can easily point anything to the same e.g models folder without worrying about specifics for each software.
Thanks for your lesson, it helps a lot, thanks !
this is useful, coming from A1111 I always resisted Comfy
Great tutorial, thank you for your effort. I appreciate it.
Thank you, Master 🙏✨
Thank you so much! I really like how you explain everything
Ive been waiting for this. Thank you so much. You have so much to share.
thanks! thats sooo easy with your explanation.
hi Olivio, I cannot find the ComfyUI_Comfyroll_CustomNodes in the manager page
Thank you very much!
Great start. I still think it should be called ClutterUI but that's me.
A request if you haven't already filmed it. Would you think about doing a tutorial on customising filenames on output, the same as A1111 does it. I'm not talking about simply changing the name but adding the checkpoint name, the prompt, the date and any other information someone might want. It took me many hours to figure this out and I'm still not sure how it works. Documentation is almost non existent for it, so others may find it really useful too. Cheers.
Great Lesson, Thanks u
I was expecting this video from you.😀
Thanks so much for these Olivio :)
Thank you!
Awesome tips!
Olivio 감사합니다~!
As an absolute beginner, it would help if you went through the process of getting the initial ComfyUi interface up (I'm guessing it is via GitHub but would still appreciate it). Also, if you have never used A1111 then how do you get the models installed and which do you recommend . Also what hardware requirements are required. If you have another video covering these points perhaps you could provide link. Cheers
Look at his previous videos
Thank you
Phenomenal
11:45 Everything should be input by default and if nothing is input then it would show the manual controller, if some cable is input it should hide the manual, this is how its done in Node based software like UE5 or Blender. It be nice if they added this
Great video Olivio! One question though: my main menu on the right side seems to be stuck, without no option to undock or those little dots that indicate that it's movable/dockable. I have the manager installed and some new nodes, but nothing that I think could have influenced in that behavior.
Thanks for the tutorial, but you shoulded start with How to Install it comfyui first and how to install a1111. its kind of a pain not knowing the previous steps you have to take before even looking at this tut. Thanks for all the videos btw.
bro... how do I use it?! Way to deep for a beginner overview.
Honest question, just install focus also, does comfy just allow for more customization or still better outputs? I like the simplicity of focus. Thanks!
thanks a lot
Thanks for your video. Is it possible to install Manager option when working with Mac M1?.
I did download it, and working throu url but dont have Manager option.
Thanks again!
if you comfyui-manager doesn't show up be sure your folder structure matches: ComfyUI_windows_portable\ComfyUI\custom_nodes\ComfyUI-Manager
then restart comfyui and it will install the required dependencies and work
Made a ComfyUI setup for batch img2img processing new sprites for a game. Found some of it in WSO module for prompts and for images - it seems to work as long as you use only one instance of the module for batch image load and for "next text line loader" for prompts. It took me ages to figure out the quirk about only 1 instance, did not have fun.
You don't doodle, you *noodle!*
Can you make it so we can have recommended/minimal specs for AMD/Nvidia graphics for comfyui.
Praise the ComfyUI videos!
Thank you for sharing. I installed it like you shared, but my ComfyUi doesn't show the section: Manager . So is there something missing on my computer or is it because my graphics card is weak? Thanks for your guidance, thank you very much
I'm so frustrated with A1111 so i want to learn how to use Comfy.
Thanks Olivio. But I still prefer A1111 as it's much easier to use. Inpainting, img2img, etc are better in A1111 without having to read 100 guides and install 100 addons like in comfy and then to discover that you did something wrong with the installations with error messages about some missing custom nodes. Comfyui is just hard and impractical for advanced stuff no matter how much the average person tries to learn it.
A1111 definitely has its advantages but Comfy is much more versatile and efficient. There's a reason that most of the newer development in AI art generation has occurred in Comfy whereas A1111 seems to be stuck in arrested development.
I like both but A1111 has a better Civitai interface extension I really wish was in Comfy.
A1111 is perfect for a hobbyist, but if you want to be professional, you will need to learn how to code, how to debug, and comfy is then the road for you.
I was in the same boat as you!
For me personally, comfy looked so intimidating and I thought I was never going to switch.
Once I finally did I realized that it never really gave it a fair chance, and by the time I was comfortable with the UI I realized that it took me the same amount, or even less time to learn than A1111 did.
I've only been using it for about 3 months, but I find that when new extensions and tools come out it is infinitely easier to learn and incorporate into my work than it was on A1111, although I do still keep A1111 launched in the background for its stellar inpainting.
Again this is just all my personal opinion, but once you get over the same learning curve that you needed to get over when you started A1111; Comfy is vastly better, even for hobbyists.
I switched to comfy last friday for kpop dance stuff. I lost a lot of time because my videos were blurry for some reason. It was just one variable that ruined them and that is basically the issue with comfy. It is super easy to make mistakes . But on the other hand the finetuning is amazing! Also now i can create my own workflows which allows me to make my prefered videos with 1 click .
I have a question, I use Fooocus and ComfyUI and they are in 2 different folders. How do I do to share the same models folder for both ? How do I identify the base_path on my SSD ?
Manager is so useful, you have to wonder why it isn't preinstalled by default.
11:45 How create this Seed Node.??? Need install before..?
Has ComfyUI_Comfyroll_CustomNodes been removed? Suzie1 only lists Comfyroll Studio in the custom nodes.
is there a video on your channel that explains how to install comfy ui?
Thanks
How to not understand anything about ComfUI. Well done!
Merci pour tes videos 😄 Que penses-tu de chaiNNer ?
can you make a video comfyui prompts from file or textbox auto1111has this built in
hi! beginners question. So if I run a software like ComfyUI locally, does that mean that all AI art, music, works that I generate will be free to use for commercial purposes?or am I violating terms of copyright? I am searching more info about this but I get confused, thanks in advance
I just started learning COMFYUI and I followed your method and linked the A1111 models in Yaml file but COMFYUI does not show them and the manager does not refresh, even when I cleared the view and added a simple check-point, I could not see the A1111 models
how come my Element 1:10 is fixed solid (docked) at the right side of the UI?
Thanks. I was unable to find any sample files in my installation. Installed with Pinokio on mac. Not sure how to link files from my A1111. Any thoughts for mac users?
Efficiency Node is broken currently idk why? Failed to install.
2023: In the future AI will do everything and we will be useless.
2024 - the future: remember all those node based tools you had to learn in the past? Here is another one, but this time for AI.
Hello, is it possible to use this method to add jewelry?
What is A1111 compared to comfy UI and does Comfy UI have it inside or do i have to find it and install it
If I link the model path via the .yaml file to another application folder like A1111, will ComfyUI take that folder additionally and also use the models installed in the ComfyUI folder or will it use the model path instead of the models installed in ComfyUI folder?
How to know the execution time? Thank you!
Is there a way to apply a theme to comfy UI to look as pleasing to the eyes as the node system of InvokeAI?
ok but i just want to generate an image
What about amd gpu users? I have comfyui working but i dont think the comfyui manager will work for me.
I don’t know why but my queue prompt box is fixed to side it doesn’t move like yours… any idea why?
ok but how do i generate an image
how do you add an image. This is very informative, but I need to know how to actually USE it.
watch the other parts. that's why i made them
@@OlivioSarikas Oh, I thought you made them just for whoopee doopee funzies! 🤣 Thanks!
@@QuantumStellar well, then watch the other parts and get the answer you are looking for. You are like the guy who wants to go on the highway after the first drivers lesson that only covered the basics of how to behave in traffic, no even sitting in the care yet
Thx a million Olivio, this is a super clear and useful ComfyUI Tutorial ever, luv ya v much 💕
no link to download the manager?
Does ComfyUI Manager work on mac?
