Multi-reference image injection and seamless video connection for ComfyUI's WanAnimate pipeline.
ComfyUI-WanAnimatePlus adds four major feature groups to the WanVideo workflow:
- prefix_frames: allows passing 1–5 additional reference images for multi-reference guided generation
- transition_video: allows passing the last 21 frames of the previous video segment for seamless video connection
When used together, canvas layout and frame offsets are automatically coordinated without conflicts.
Supports Bernini models. Allows passing source video, reference video, or reference images as generation conditions. Supports v2v, rv2v, r2v, and t2v tasks.
Use cases:
- Multi-shot video sequence generation
- Video continuation / extension
- Motion transfer with multi-reference control
- Video editing with source video + reference images
- Reference-to-video generation
Adds a wrapper-native WanAnimatePlus SCAIL_2 Embeds node for SCAIL-2 models. It prepares reference image, driving pose, colored pose mask, reference mask, optional prefix/transition hard-freeze latents, and prefix-aligned colored masks for the WanAnimatePlus sampler.
video_001.mp4
video_002.mp4
Allows 1–5 additional reference images. Internally expands the canvas pixel space and encodes reference images across the front frames, with automatic frame offset coordination for control signals (pose / face).
- Supports 1–5 reference images (truncated if exceeding 5)
- Auto-resizes reference images to target resolution
- Automatically aligns frame offsets for pose / face / bg / mask signals
Allows passing the last 21 frames of the previous video segment. Writes these pixel frames directly into the front of the generation canvas, with sampled+reversed padding for control signal offsets.
- Automatically coordinates with prefix when both are used
Generates condition latents from source video, reference video, and/or reference images via VAE encoding. Supports v2v, rv2v, r2v, and t2v — task is auto-detected from connected inputs.
- Reference images kept at native aspect ratio
- Compatible with context windows
Provides SCAIL-2 ref / pose / mask conditioning through WanAnimatePlus SCAIL_2 Embeds.
- Encodes
ref_image,pose_images,pose_image_mask,prefix_frames,prefix_mask,bg_image, andreference_image_mask - Aligns SCAIL-2 inputs to 32-pixel multiples before VAE encoding
- Supports animation and replacement modes
- Supports single-frame prefix reference encoding and optional
transition_videohard-freeze conditioning - By default,
prefix_framesare encoded as full-resolution reference latents and do not expand the output canvas; disablesingle_frame_prefix_encodingto use the legacy 37 front pixel-frame prefix layout - In single-frame prefix mode,
prefix_maskfollows the same reference-mask path asreference_image_mask - Supports context-window sampling; non-first windows can see prepended prefix/transition context without fusing those prepended predictions
Place this repository into ComfyUI's custom_nodes directory:

git clone https://github.com/wuwukaka/ComfyUI-WanAnimatePlus.gitRestart ComfyUI after installation.
Important: To use
prefix_frames,transition_video,Bernini, orSCAIL_2 Embeds, you must replace the full workflow chain with WanAnimatePlus nodes. Mixing WanAnimatePlus nodes with original WanVideoWrapper nodes in the same workflow will result in degraded output.
- Start ComfyUI and confirm the WanAnimatePlus nodes appear under the
WanAnimatePluscategory - Replace the entire workflow chain with WanAnimatePlus counterparts:
ModelLoader,VAELoader,ContextOptions,AnimateEmbeds,Sampler,Decode, and supporting nodes - Do not mix original WanVideoWrapper nodes in the same workflow
- Connect
prefix_framesand/ortransition_videoinputs as needed - Example workflows are available in the
example_workflows/directory
WanAnimatePlus exposes a complete workflow chain to avoid cross-package object mixing with the original WanVideoWrapper nodes.

Core node, replaces the original WanVideoAnimateEmbeds.
New inputs:
| Input | Description |
|---|---|
prefix_frames |
1–5 additional reference images for multi-reference guided generation |
transition_video |
Last 21 frames of the previous video segment for seamless video connection |
Other inputs are identical to the original WanVideoAnimateEmbeds: vae, width, height, num_frames, ref_images, pose_images, face_images, bg_images, mask, start_ref_image, clip_embeds, etc.
Generates condition latents from source video, reference video, and/or reference images for Bernini models.
Inputs:
| Input | Description |
|---|---|
vae |
VAE model for encoding |
width / height / num_frames |
Output dimensions |
source_video |
Source video to edit/restyle (v2v/rv2v). Resized to width/height |
reference_video |
Moving content to composite (video insertion), native aspect |
reference_images |
Reference image(s) as in-context tokens (r2v/rv2v). Native aspect |
ref_max_size |
Max long-edge size for reference media (default 848) |
force_offload |
Offload VAE after encoding to save VRAM |
tiled_vae |
Use tiled VAE encoding for memory savings |
The task (v2v, rv2v, r2v, t2v) is automatically inferred from which inputs are connected.
Creates SCAIL-2 conditioning for WanAnimatePlus sampling. Use this node with SCAIL-2 checkpoints that include the pose and mask streams.
Inputs:
| Input | Description |
|---|---|
vae |
VAE model for encoding |
width / height / num_frames |
Target dimensions; width and height are aligned to multiples of 32 |
ref_image |
Reference image for SCAIL-2 conditioning |
bg_image |
Optional single background image for animation mode; prepended as the first prefix_frames item with an internal white mask and ignored in replacement mode |
pose_images |
Driving pose video/images, encoded at half resolution |
pose_image_mask |
Colored per-identity pose mask sequence |
prefix_mask |
Optional colored mask images matching prefix_frames; expanded as 1+4+4... and written into the prefix mask frames before mask latent encoding |
reference_image_mask |
Colored reference mask image |
replacement_mode |
Enables SCAIL-2 replacement-mode RoPE and reference-mask compositing |
preserve_main_ref_background |
Animation mode only; keeps the main reference image background when enabled, or uses reference_image_mask as a black-background alpha crop when disabled. Ignored in replacement mode |
single_frame_prefix_encoding |
Encodes prefix_frames as individual full-resolution reference latents instead of expanding the canvas; enabled by default |
prefix_frames |
Optional prefix images. In default single-frame mode these become reference-stream latents; with single-frame mode disabled they hard-freeze the front canvas |
transition_video |
Optional transition frames to hard-freeze at the front of the latent sequence |
clip_embeds |
Optional CLIP vision features from WanAnimatePlus ClipVisionEncode |
force_offload / tiled_vae |
Memory controls for VAE encoding |
For short generations, context windows are optional. For long generations or low VRAM, context windows are recommended. In context-window mode, single-frame prefix references remain visible through the SCAIL-2 reference stream. Legacy canvas prefixes and transition latents are prepended for model context and removed before overlap fusion.
For SCAIL-2, the default single_frame_prefix_encoding mode does not expand or trim the output for prefix_frames. If transition_video is connected, the front canvas expands by 21 pixel frames and those 21 frames are trimmed after decoding. With single_frame_prefix_encoding disabled, prefix_frames use the legacy 37 front pixel-frame canvas layout, with transition frames placed at frames 17-36 when transition_video is also connected.
When bg_image is connected in animation mode, it consumes the first prefix slot and is handled as the first prefix image. The node internally adds a white mask for that background image only; user-provided prefix_frames and prefix_mask are then limited to four images each. In replacement mode, bg_image is ignored.
The WanAnimatePlus ModelLoader supports mxfp8 weight quantization for reduced VRAM usage.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
mxfp8 |
MXFP8 (Microscaling FP8) quantization format. Uses shared scaling factors across blocks of elements, providing better accuracy than per-tensor FP8 at similar memory savings. Requires compatible quantized model weights. |
Hardware requirements: Hardware-accelerated MXFP8 matmul requires an NVIDIA Blackwell GPU (compute capability >= 10.0, e.g., RTX 5090 / B100 / B200). On non-Blackwell GPUs, MXFP8 weights are automatically dequantized to BF16 at load time for normal inference (no VRAM savings, but the model runs correctly).
Auto-detection: When the quantization dropdown is set to disabled, MXFP8 weights are auto-detected from the state dict by scanning for float8_e8m0fnu block scale tensors. No manual selection is needed.
Installation (optional): Hardware acceleration requires comfy-kitchen:
pip install comfy-kitchen==0.2.10
This package is not a hard dependency — it is only needed for Blackwell GPU acceleration. The model works without it via the dequantization fallback.
MXFP8 quantization support is derived from comfy-kitchen (Apache 2.0).

No. All node names use the WanAnimatePlus prefix, completely avoiding conflicts with the original WanVideo prefixed nodes. Both can be installed simultaneously.
3 is recommended. Up to 5 are accepted (excess is truncated). The node works with fewer than 3 as well, but the coverage range will be smaller.
Input is automatically cropped to 21 frames (padded with the first frame if insufficient).
