Learn to create professional-grade AI animations using WAN 2.2's First and Last Frame to Video (FLF2V) workflow within ComfyUI, running completely offline and free on your local machine. Master the complete three-step animation pipeline starting with Flux Create for base image generation, progressing through Flux Context for consistent keyframe creation, and culminating with WAN 2.2 FLF2V for smooth frame interpolation between start and end poses. Discover how to choose between 5B models for faster 30-minute rendering or 14B models for higher quality 3-hour processing, install and configure ComfyUI version 0.3.48 or newer, and handle model downloads for offline operation. Explore keyframe-based animation techniques similar to traditional methods while letting AI handle in-between frame generation, maintain character and scene consistency across sequences, write effective animation prompts describing specific actions and movements, and optimize resolution settings for smooth playback. Practice creating subtle pose changes for natural motion, apply storyboarding principles for effective keyframe planning, adjust 2-pass samplers for optimal results, and combine 5-second animation segments into unlimited-length sequences through video editing software stitching techniques.
