CivArchive

    Generates WAN 2.1 videos in a fraction of time.

    720p and 480p Version

    • Sampler/Scheduler: Euler/Simple

    • Steps: 4

    • CFG: 1

    • Sigma-Shift 5

    Original Model from Lightx2v converted to FP8 quantisation.

    ☠️ Do not use any extra speed-up tricks or LoRAs or it may mess up your generations ... 🤬

    ⚠️ Hint: Most of the time the model is taking you by word. If you write "white" it is white. "Translucent" is translucent... like for the fluids. 💦 Now you know! 🫵 translucent whitish 🤫

    ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

    8 GB VRAM, 32 GB RAM

    Sample times: <2 minutes for 81 frames, 4 steps on RTX 4070 Ti Super.

    Compatible with 14B LoRAs.

    I normally use 0-2 LoRAs, strength at 0.4-1 depending on how much the effect should be. 0.7-0.9 works best most of the time, not overwriting the style of an image.
    At multiple LoRAs is seems best to tune the strength a bit down to 0.3-0.6.

    Basic workflow example:

    Here: https://civarchive.com/models/1811161?modelVersionId=2049602

    My favourite UI:

    SwarmUI https://github.com/mcmonkeyprojects/SwarmUI

    Testing (my specs):

    I can go wild on setting with this full checkpoint, even with added LoRAs:

    • 121 frames possible: ~ 3 minutes

    • 121 frames on 24 fps possible (more motion): ~ 3 minutes

    • 128 frames on 24 fps possible (more motion and extended): ~ 3.5 minutes

    is there a workflow available to help get started?

    It is a safetensor model, you can use any UI you want with the normal Wan dependencies, nothing really to consider. Except the ones I listed. LCM, CFG 1, Shift 5. You can even use most 14B LoRAs out there with 0.5-1.
    I use swarmui, so I do not use any comfyui workflows directly.

    darksidewalker where do i change the shift ? is it somewhere in the ksampler ?
    nvm i found. Is is the ModelSampling

    Unfortunately, "Incompatible" when loading into my UI. I'm on Mac M1 Silicon

    Most AI sofware are not doing well on Mac. This is just a normal fp8 quant of a Wan 2.1 i2v model ... If you have a "incompatible" problem you may reach out to Lighx2v, they made the original high quant model.

    trying a basic i2v, the one built into comfyui, i'm getting a black screen output. EDIT: so I guess I needed to restart comfyui? Because it just started working... okay....

    GrzesMisJul 30, 2025· 1 reaction

    Hi bro, what did you do? I also have black screen output but restarting comfy do not help ;/.

    gorathan274Jul 31, 2025

    same here. don't matter what, i get only black outputs.

    delta45424155Jul 31, 2025

    GrzesMis I restarted comfyui and it just started working. Now I have the same issue with wan2.2 and nothing seems to work. Oddly it worked at first and now it doesn't.

    Sexybeast10Aug 5, 2025

    Yeah same, getting black screen outputs as well, it worked for some days then suddenly its all just black vids

    The model does not change, must be your settings

    delta45424155Aug 5, 2025

    Sexybeast10 idk why, but when it happens to me. I have noticed that denoise somehow got set to 0. Changing it back to 1 solved my issue.

    Sexybeast10Aug 6, 2025

    delta45424155 Ehm there is no denoise setting anywhere on mine o_0 Opening comfy in SwarmUi sometimes fixes it for me, but it just random give me black screen outputs without having made any changes.

    clip AND text encoder?

    ain't those the same?

    are these specific to using Lightx2v or are they the same as normal WAN?

    Same, just other quant. In my understanding you could use any other.

    Dumcluck51Jul 26, 2025

    Still confused. Do I need both? Are they both checkpoints or is the Clip model a Text Encoder?

    dcham2310 The clip is the text encoder. There is no way to just add it to civitai as extra file.

    Dumcluck51Jul 26, 2025

    Yep, I downloaded the suggested workflow, corrected the model paths and swapped the Clip to the one you have uploaded here and I get a decent looking 512x512 video clip in under 2 minutes. My 16GB VRAM was at 95% so I suspect I can't go much above that resolution but I can always upscale.

    It's 2025, shouldn't these all be safetensors files? Aren't there well known security risks with pickletensor files (.pth)?

    Edit: I'm still trying to figure out the quirks, but this seems like a huge upgrade from FusionX. Only anime previews are shown here, it's not limited in that way at all.

    Currently using clip_vision_h and umt5_xxl_fp16. LCM SGM_Uniform or Simple. 4-8 steps. RIFE VFI with a 3 multiplier.

    Steps are steps, it doesn't run noticeably faster, but there's a lot more motion. You can have a lower FPS and/or use frame interpolation and get longer videos, or you could do all of that and use a shorter length value and cut down generation time.

    I'm getting much more motion and better prompt adherence. I'm having some issues with physics, I think that's just me figuring it out.

    delta45424155Jul 24, 2025

    I don't use them in comfyui. I use wan21UMT5XxIFP32_fp32 and clip_vision_h.

    rando2048Jul 24, 2025

    delta45424155 Thanks! So, I have umt5_xxl_fp8 and 16. Trying to search to umt5_xxl_fp32 orwan21UMT5XxIFP32_fp32 does provide some results, but nothing named clearly named like that. Is that from callgg / upt5-xxl-encoder-fp32 / model.safetensors? If so, what kind of vram damage does it do at 22gb?

    Lightx2v released them that way. You can use a other clip and T5. They just have the same quant as the checkpoint.

    delta45424155Jul 24, 2025

    rando2048 I don't remember where I got it, but am thinking of trying smaller sized ones. it works fine with 16gigs of vram on a 5080. I am limited to short length videos, but you can get around that by saving the last frame and starting another render with it.

    delta45424155Jul 24, 2025

    darksidewalker The ones you recommend don't work in comfyui. Even if I try to just use the text encoder one; it throws an error.  mat1 and mat2. The other file with the .ph. gives me an error that it doesn't contain a valid vision model

    delta45424155Jul 24, 2025

    rando2048 I just tested umt5-xxl-encoder-q5_k_m.gguf and it works fine. I only tested it on the video I shared.

    I'm uploading a working scaled fp8 safetensor clip/t5 atm. Just wait some :) Just tested it and worked perfect. Civitai has problems with uploads... still uploading ...

    rando2048Jul 25, 2025

    darksidewalker darksidewalker 10 hours ago you posted this, yet I still don't see them. The state of this site is unfortunate on several levels. I really like it a lot, but between technical issues and censorship requirements for payment processors... I mean, it's a site focused on AI, can they not use coding AI to make things work better? Legal AI to work around the payment processors? Sorry for the rant.
