Wan Animate Is Dead? SCAIL Motion Transfer in ComfyUI (Low VRAM Workflow)

Link video: https://youtu.be/tFtpztVqnHs

Wan Animate is great, but have you ever gone crazy trying to fix "mutated" limbs or characters changing faces during fast motion? Today, I’m bringing you the ultimate solution to fix that once and for all: SCAIL.

? In this video, we will:

• Discover what SCAIL is and why it completely outperforms Wan Animate.

• Step-by-step guide to building the SCAIL Workflow in ComfyUI.

• How to run animations on 12GB VRAM (or less)

• Real-world Tests: From 3D characters and real humans to difficult shots like couple dancing or moving cameras.

⚙️ Build Workflow

• Step 1 - Install the custom node

  • Install WanVideoWrapper node: https://github.com/kijai/ComfyUI-WanVideoWrapper

  • Install ComfyUI-WanAnimateProcess: https://github.com/kijai/ComfyUI-WanAnimatePreprocess

  • Install ComfyUI-SCAIL-Pose: https://github.com/kijai/ComfyUI-SCAIL-Pose.git

  • Search in ComfyUI Manager or instal via Git clone

• Step 2 - Download the model and place it in the correct folder
