💟 August Speakers
1. Wan: Advanced Techniques
Speaker: @allhailthealgo
From controlnet-guided videos with the Wan Fun models to RES4LYF style transfers with text-to-image and image-to-image generation, there are lots of ways to leverage ComfyUI's power and its wide array of nodes to get the most out of Wan. Plus, here's where we can talk about VACE (if it's out for 2.2 by then 🤞 ). I'll share some tips on how to go beyond a simple prompt to get eye-popping outputs!
2. Beyond the Release Notes: WAN 2.2 + Banodoco Community
Speaker: shadowworksltd.com
