<h3 id="introduction-vaaub9cay">Introduction</h3>This workflow allows you to segment up to 8 different elements from an input image, or video, into colored masks for IPA to stylize and animate each element with.First, select your source input mode in the middle with the switch. 1 is Image Mode, 2 is Video Mode.<img src="https://image.civitai.com/xG1nkqKTMzGDvpLrqFT7WA/55968970-2463-4be8-bcae-307d514eab45/width=525/55968970-2463-4be8-bcae-307d514eab45.jpeg" />At the top of each colored layer is a GDINO-SAM node and a prompt field to type in which element to isolate from your input. The black group is your background and anything that isn't masked. The prompt fields are filled with some basic examples, but you can change them into whatever you want related to your input, like objects, landscape stuff, or even colors.<img src="https://image.civitai.com/xG1nkqKTMzGDvpLrqFT7WA/fbfc0d77-e1e9-4596-afb8-e879fe07445d/width=525/fbfc0d77-e1e9-4596-afb8-e879fe07445d.jpeg" />You can increase the threshold under the prompt to affect how strong it tries to isolate the keyword. Lower threshold is weaker and will mask bleed into other things, too high and it won't mask anything. A good spot is around 0.30.On the "GrowMaskWithBlur" node, you can customize the mask using the expand and blur radius settings.<img src="https://image.civitai.com/xG1nkqKTMzGDvpLrqFT7WA/2091c5bc-42b6-46a0-817e-1437d0fb4abd/width=525/2091c5bc-42b6-46a0-817e-1437d0fb4abd.jpeg" />You also need to load up some images into the "Load Image For IPA" Nodes for each colored mask group you're using. These will style your masks.<img src="https://image.civitai.com/xG1nkqKTMzGDvpLrqFT7WA/78bde812-54e2-49da-8c3b-f7fd238961b8/width=525/78bde812-54e2-49da-8c3b-f7fd238961b8.jpeg" />Customizing the "weight" in the "IPAdapter Advanced" node, can increase how much the image is stylized into the mask. Also, "weight_type" can also have an affect. "Ease In-Out" and "Linear" are good to play around with.<img src="https://image.civitai.com/xG1nkqKTMzGDvpLrqFT7WA/eb3a094b-c4d3-478f-b765-3281ed1d9434/width=525/eb3a094b-c4d3-478f-b765-3281ed1d9434.jpeg" />The Black mask will stylize everything that isn't masked, and creates the mask for the Source Input Background Mode if chosen. The colored masks are merged together and saved for visual/editing purposes only. Disable their "save output" if you wish. To save VRAM, it's recommended to let the Black mask be the last and most behind element in the scene, like a sky.Colored masks stack as followed: far (White) to near (Yellow). If creating a custom stack, order the colors accordingly to the distance of scene elements..Colored mask layers not being used should be bypassed with the "Fast Groups Bypasser" node. You can also bypass the "Input Gen &amp; ControlNet" so you can fine-tune your masks before going into the KSampler.<img src="https://image.civitai.com/xG1nkqKTMzGDvpLrqFT7WA/3012cc08-fa44-4ec7-b5f1-79a62aa8eb8a/width=525/3012cc08-fa44-4ec7-b5f1-79a62aa8eb8a.jpeg" />The ControlNet weights can be adjusted to control how delineated the IPA stylization is. Lower weight on the CN will give more freedom to the masks and retain less of the Source Input edges, causing mask bleed. Higher CN weight will produce more of the Source Input structure, but less quality on the stylization.<img src="https://image.civitai.com/xG1nkqKTMzGDvpLrqFT7WA/ac11db01-ba8f-41d6-b79b-939d1e6b0a98/width=525/ac11db01-ba8f-41d6-b79b-939d1e6b0a98.jpeg" />There's also a resolution switch to quickly change your aspect ratio, you can edit the resolution to your liking as well.<img src="https://image.civitai.com/xG1nkqKTMzGDvpLrqFT7WA/53b87baf-9511-4ea6-9368-bdc2d8a10be5/width=525/53b87baf-9511-4ea6-9368-bdc2d8a10be5.jpeg" />May 24th, version 4 update, Background Mode was also added. This lets you stylize your masks while using your source input as the background, instead of the background mask being stylized by IPA.<img src="https://image.civitai.com/xG1nkqKTMzGDvpLrqFT7WA/8c9df743-9057-4374-bfd4-7d523cd7be34/width=525/8c9df743-9057-4374-bfd4-7d523cd7be34.jpeg" /><h3 id="requirements-ztxrwtlqh">Requirements</h3>The "Segmenty Anything SAM model (ViT-H)" model is required for this, to get it: Go to manager &gt; Install Models &gt; Type "sam" &gt; Install: sam_vit_h_4b8939.pthGroundingDino is also required, but should automatically download on first use.

AutoMask IPA Img/Vid-2-Vid LCM AnimateDiff Workflow for ComfyUI

June 18th, v4.1:<ul><li>Fixed the random Image Resize error that was happening after latest ComfyUI updates.</li></ul>May 24th, v4:<ul><li>I've cleaned up a few things, and all mask groups and CN can now be disabled without errors. Regional prompting doesn't work with LCM and has been removed to free up clutter/errors.</li><li>White and Black are in the front now. Black has been slightly overhauled and is now a proper background/multi-function group.</li><li>Background Mode has been added, allowing you to stylize masks and merge with the source input behind them.</li><li>Colored mask merging has been added, for visual/editing purposes. (BG Mode and Colored mask merging are controlled by the black group)</li><li>You can now apply mask colors in a custom order for more control over stacking (eg. shirt/head on top of body mask)</li></ul>April 28th, v3:<ul><li>Fixed the "size of tensor" error when a GDINO mask fails to fully track something and doesn't create enough frames to match the input batch size. Now when it happens, the rest of the batch size for that mask is filled in with background frames after the mask frames.</li></ul>
