A Scail plus LTX outpaint workflow keeps full-body dance clips from warping faces
spiderofmars · reddit · 2026-07-23
The author describes a practical workaround for video generation problems where full-body shots produce warped or “mushed” faces.
The issue
- Models like Scail/Wan work well on close-ups and faces.
- They degrade on full-body or smaller subjects, especially in fast motion.
- Higher output resolution helps, but hardware and model limits still remain.
The workaround
- Crop the character into a portrait-oriented clip to get more pixels per person.
- Generate the animation at that higher effective per-subject resolution.
- Scale it back onto the original timeline.
- Use LTX outpaint to rebuild the missing borders/background.
- Overlay the scaled source clip on top of the outpainted result to preserve face detail.
Result
The author says the colour matching is usually close enough and the final composite becomes usable, but asks whether there is a better workflow for producing full-body 1280×720 animation without face distortion.
