Difforum · Scene Stills (storyboard)

One still per scene of the timeline: the storyboard, painted by the image model. Each scene prompt (with your `style` in front) becomes a picture at the frame where the scene starts. `continuity` paints every still over the one before it, so palette, light and layout carry from beat to beat instead of jumping; 0 makes each one from scratch. Feed `keyframes` + `indices` to H3 Guides / LTX Guides and a video model animates between pictures that already tell the story: a handful of images instead of a look pass. Stills are made at `long_edge` (the image model's own size) in the canvas aspect, so they stay sharp when the video model renders smaller.

NameTypeDefaultDescription
directionDIFFORUM_DIRECTIONThe Director timeline: one still per scene that has a prompt.
modelMODELAn image model (SDXL, SD1.5, Flux...).
clipCLIP—
vaeVAEThe VAE that matches the model.
styleSTRINGThe look shared by every still, written once: medium, light, lens, palette. It goes in front of each scene prompt.
negativeSTRINGblurry, low quality, watermark, text, deformedWhat no still should show.
stepsINT241–150Sampling steps per still. 24 for a base model, 4-8 with a turbo / DMD2 model.
cfgFLOAT5.50–30Prompt strength. 5-6 for a base model, 1-2 for turbo / DMD2.
sampler_nameCOMBOdpmpp_2mSampler. euler / dpmpp_2m for regular models, euler_ancestral or lcm for turbo.
schedulerCOMBOkarrasNoise schedule. karras / normal for regular models, sgm_uniform for turbo.
seedINT70–18446744073709550000Same seed for every still, so they share composition habits and texture.
continuityFLOAT0.500–1How much each still is painted over the one before. 0 = every still from scratch (free composition, the look can jump). 0.5 = palette and layout carry over. 1 = small changes only.
long_edgeINT1024256–4096Size the stills are made at, in the canvas aspect. Use the image model's own size (1024 SDXL, 768 SD1.5): the video model scales them down itself.
first_imageoptIMAGEYour own picture as the first still; the rest are painted after it.
