Wan Animate is great, but have you ever gone crazy trying to fix "mutated" limbs or characters changing faces during fast motion? Today, I’m bringing you the ultimate solution to fix that once and for all: SCAIL.

🔥 In this video, we will:

Discover what SCAIL is and why it completely outperforms Wan Animate.
Step-by-step guide to building the SCAIL Workflow in ComfyUI.
How to run animations on 12GB VRAM (or less)
Real-world Tests: From 3D characters and real humans to difficult shots like couple dancing or moving cameras.

⚙️ Build Workflow

Step 1 - Install the custom node

Wan Animate Is Dead? SCAIL Motion Transfer in ComfyUI (Low VRAM Workflow) Wan Animate is great, but have you ever gone crazy trying to fix "mutated" limbs or characters changing faces during fast motion? Today, I’m bringing you the ultimate solution to fix that once and for all: SCAIL. Coming straight from the research team at Tsinghua University, SCAIL is currently rated by the community as the most powerful Motion Control tool for the Wan Model. From complex camera movements to multi-character interactions, SCAIL handles it all with shocking smoothness. 🔥 In this video, we will: Discover what SCAIL is and why it completely outperforms Wan Animate. Step-by-step guide to building the SCAIL Workflow in ComfyUI.
