What models or files do I need before running this workflow?

You need the LTX 2.3 IC LoRA (trained by Alisson Pereira) installed in your ComfyUI models/loras directory (or wherever your LoRA loader expects it). The workflow’s custom processing node (2e37ecc9-770a-4ac2-972c-e953901f49d3) should point to that LoRA. Ensure any base model or sampler settings required by that node are properly configured.

How do skip_first_frames and frame_count affect processing?

skip_first_frames tells VHS_LoadVideo to ignore a set number of frames at the start. frame_count defines how many frames to process after the skip. Together, they let you target a precise segment of your clip for conversion, which speeds iteration and testing.

How can I reduce flicker or instability between frames?

Keep settings consistent across frames, avoid overly high denoise or LoRA strength (if those controls are available), and test shorter segments first. Stable input (clear faces, steady camera) helps. If the node exposes a fixed seed or temporal options, use them for more consistent per-frame outputs.

Can I keep the original audio?

Yes, if your workflow extracts audio in VHS_LoadVideo and your VHS_VideoCombine node is set up to accept an audio path, you can remux the original audio into the final video. If audio inputs aren’t present in your version, export audio separately and remux with a video editor or ffmpeg.

LTX 2.3 - Anime2Real - ComfyUI Workflow

Back

This ComfyUI tutorial workflow, LTX 2.3 - Anime2Real, demonstrates how to convert anime footage into realistic-looking video using a frame-by-frame image-to-image process. It relies on Video Helper Suite nodes to handle video I/O: VHS_LoadVideo extracts frames from your source clip, and VHS_VideoCombine stitches the processed frames back into a video file. The core transformation happens in a custom processing block (shown in the workflow as node 2e37ecc9-770a-4ac2-972c-e953901f49d3), which applies the LTX 2.3 IC LoRA (trained by Alisson Pereira) to push each frame toward photorealism.

Technically, the pipeline loads your clip, trims or limits the frame range with controls like skip_first_frames and frame_count, then feeds each frame through the LoRA-powered image-to-image pass before recombining the output frames. Because this is an experimental anime-to-realism mapping, results will vary with source quality, lighting, and character design. The design keeps the flow simple—no manual frame extraction or external editors—so you can iterate quickly on parameters and see how they affect temporal consistency and realism.
