LiquidTime - ComfyUI Custom Node
<div align="center"> <h3>Advanced Time Control for Animation Interpolation</h3> <img src="node.png" alt="LiquidTime Banner"> </div>Overview
LiquidTime is a powerful frame interpolation node for ComfyUI that gives you precise control over animation timing. Like liquid bending to your will, it allows you to shape the flow of time in your animations, creating dynamic speed changes and smooth transitions.
Features
- 🎯 Smart frame interpolation for smooth motion
- 🎛️ Advanced time control with three curve points
- 🎚️ Adjustable middle point for precise timing shifts
- 🖥️ High-quality frame generation using FILM model
- ⚡ Supports both GPU (fp16) and CPU (fp32) processing
Installation
- Navigate to your ComfyUI custom_nodes directory
- Clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/lazniak/LiquidTime-Interpolation.git
- Install requirements:
cd LiquidTime-Interpolation
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Restart ComfyUI
The model will be downloaded automatically on first use.
