Getting Started with AI Video: Solving Consistency and Censorship
cynicalnewenglander · reddit · 2026-07-22
An AI video enthusiast on Reddit shared their pain points and explorations while trying to create 20-minute sci-fi or horror shorts.
Current Pain Points:
- Poor Consistency: Using the last frame of a previous clip as input for the next results in obvious seams and visual drift.
- Fragile Workflows: Image models in ComfyUI constantly crash during keyframe interpolation, and consistency nodes like IP-LoRA and PuLID are difficult to configure.
- Censorship: Concerns that closed-source tools like Seedance are too expensive and restrict R-rated content (violence, nudity).
Best Practice So Far: The author found that using high-quality character reference images to condition text prompts is the most effective way to maintain consistency. Future plans include experimenting with Blender 3D model overlays and IC-LoRAs for precise motion control.
