SD.Next Video Models: Direct Downloads Required, Third-Party Finetunes Unsupported
A developer for the SD.Next platform clarified its support for custom video models, specifically addressing the use of 'high noise' and 'low noise' models (base and refiner). The platform now allows selection of inference stages for WanAI video models and supports LoRAs, but currently lacks compatibility with third-party model finetunes and specific ComfyUI model repacks for video generation.
Key Takeaways
- SD.Next users can select inference stages (1st, 2nd, or both) for WanAI video models via settings.
- WanAI video models must be downloaded directly through SD.Next; ComfyUI repacks are incompatible.
- LoRAs can be used freely with SD.Next for video generation.
- The platform does not support third-party model finetunes for WanAI video models.
Why It Matters
This technical clarification directly impacts developers building video generation workflows on the SD.Next platform, dictating model sourcing and compatibility. The requirement for direct SD.Next downloads for WanAI models suggests a proprietary format or integration, influencing how creators manage their model libraries. This also highlights a strategic focus on core features over broader third-party model compatibility. Teams should monitor SD.Next's future development priorities regarding expanded model support.
