Link video: https://youtu.be/AWkkoO5yoCs

In this video, I’ll show you how to upgrade your BindWeave workflow in ComfyUI to achieve ultimate control over your characters in Wan video.

This is Day 2 of the series “Finally: Consistent Characters in Wan Video! BindWeave ComfyUI Tutorial”, so we’re moving beyond the basics to tackle the most requested advanced techniques:

✅ VRAM Optimization: A step-by-step guide to running this heavy workflow on mid-range GPUs (12GB VRAM)

✅ Outfit & Background Control: How to change costumes and environments completely while keeping the character's face perfectly consistent.

✅ Multi-Character Workflow: The secret to generating videos with 2 or more characters interacting naturally without any "character bleeding" artifacts.
