Yes, this is all local and self-hosted.

On the hardware front, I'm running an Intel 12900k, Nvidia 3090, 64GB ram. The workflow is all done with ComfyUI. Starting with a single image from the Flux 1 Dev model (text to image). Then passing that to a new video model called WAN 2.1 for the image-to-video.

The Flux image takes about 2 minutes to generate but I make them big, about 2.5 megapixels with an upscale/finetune pass. The video takes about 3-4 hours to output 10 seconds of 720p at 15fps. Any larger res or more frames and I get out of memory errors. After that, I run it through a script I wrote using a frame interpolator called RIFE to get it up to 30fps.

If you don't need NSFW and don't mind a Chinese company doing the video, I've gotten great image-to-video results from KlingAI in just a few minutes. The company behind Flux is also working on a local i2v model, and there's another new one called HunyuanVideo that just came out a few days ago but I haven't tried it.

Been lurking for a long while, thought I'd finally jump in on the fun. This uses a Flux derivative model called STOIQO Unleashed for an initial pass, then I upscale the latent and run a second pass using the new Flux Krae model.
