Creating videos using artificial intelligence has never been this easy! With the Ebsynth Utility and the Automatic1111 UI extension, you can make remarkable edits to your videos without needing After Effects. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started on your video-editing journey.

Overview

The Ebsynth Utility allows you to use ControlNet in conjunction with img2img features to edit videos seamlessly. This guide covers essential installation steps and usage instructions.

Installation

• Install ffmpeg suitable for your operating system. For Windows, follow this guide.
• Install Ebsynth.
• Using the Extensions tab of your web UI, select Install from URL.

Using the Ebsynth Utility

To start editing your videos, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the Ebsynth Utility tab in your interface.
2. Create an empty directory and set it as your Project directory.
3. Place the video you want to edit in the Original Movie Path field. For best results, start with short videos.
4. Select stage 1 and click on Generate.
5. Proceed through stages 2 to 7. Note that progress is shown on the console outside the web UI. Once you see “completed”, you’re done!
6. If the editing process fails, drag an image onto the main screen of img2img before starting.

Stage Breakdown

Each stage in the editing process is crucial. Think of it like assembling a jigsaw puzzle:

• Stage 1: Generates the frames for your video—like laying out all your puzzle pieces.
• Stage 2: Determines keyframe intervals. Use short intervals for fast motion—similar to speeding up areas with more action in your puzzle layout.
• Stage 3: Refines image prompts: imagine editing details on your puzzle pieces to better fit together.
• Stage 4: Resizes your edit to match the original video dimensions—like ensuring your final puzzle fits perfectly on the table.
• Stage 5: Generates a .ebs file, ready for the next step.
• Stage 6: Runs your .ebs file to prepare for output.
• Stage 7: Outputs your edited video. Think of this as the victory of completing your jigsaw puzzle!

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter any issues during the video editing process, consider these troubleshooting steps:

• Ensure all installations are correctly done, especially ffmpeg and Ebsynth.
• If your video output is unsuccessful, drop an image on the main screen of img2img before executing the stages.
• Revisit your keyframe settings if the animation flickers or breaks. Adjust the intervals accordingly.
