# img2img Transparent Video — ComfyUI Workflow
Generates videos with a transparent background (WEBM + alpha channel) from a start and end frame using Wan 2.2 I2V with LightX2V LoRAs and rembg AI background removal.
---
## How it works
1. You provide a start frame and an end frame (PNG images)
2. The model generates the in-between frames
3. rembg AI strips the background from every frame
4. Output is a WEBM file with a real alpha channel, ready for compositing
---
## Required Models
All models are from [Comfy-Org/Wan_2.2_ComfyUI_Repackaged](https://huggingface.co/Comfy-Org/Wan_2.2_ComfyUI_Repackaged) on HuggingFace.

## Custom Node Setup
Two custom node packages are required.
### 1. wan_alpha_nodes (this repo)
Provides the SaveWebmWithAlpha node used to export the final video.
Copy the two files from this repo into ComfyUI:
```
ComfyUI/custom_nodes/wan_alpha_nodes/
├── wan_alpha_nodes.py
└── init.py
```
### 2. ComfyUI-rembg
Provides the RembgBackgroundRemover node used for AI background removal. Install it via ComfyUI Manager or clone it into ComfyUI/custom_nodes/.
---
## Using the Workflow
1. Open ComfyUI and load kove_img_to_img_transparent.json
2. In the Start Frame node, upload your starting image
3. In the End Frame node, upload your ending image
4. Edit the Positive Prompt (see Prompting section below)
5. In the WAN I2V Conditioning node, set width, height, and length (frame count)
6. In the Save node, set your output filename and frame rate
7. Click Queue
The output WEBM file will appear in ComfyUI/output/.
---
## Key Parameters
| Parameter | Node | Notes |
|-----------|------|-------|
| Width / Height | WAN I2V Conditioning | Resolution of the output video. Default: 1024×1024 |
| Length | WAN I2V Conditioning | Number of frames. 61 frames @ 30 FPS ≈ 2 seconds |
| Filename | Save | Output file name. Existing files with the same name are overwritten without warning. |
| Frame Rate | Save | Playback FPS of the output WEBM |
| Codec | Save | VP8 (faster) or VP9 (better compression) |
| Quality | Save | 0–100. Default 20 is a good starting point |

## Prompting
Always include this phrase in the positive prompt:
> "The character is isolated against a transparent background."
Without it, rembg has less context and background removal quality drops.
The negative prompt is pre-filled with blurry, distorted, low quality, static, no motion — leave it as-is unless you have a specific reason to change it.
### Example prompts
Idle character animation
```
The character is isolated against a transparent background.
The lighting is constant and even throughout the sequence.
The character breathes gently and sways slightly from side to side.
Hair and clothing move subtly with the sway.
The character does not speak. Slow movements. Idle animation.
```
Floating object
```
The character is isolated against a transparent background.
A glowing orb floats gently up and down. Soft pulsing light. Smooth looping motion.
```
Abstract effect
```
The character is isolated against a transparent background.
Colorful particles swirl and drift slowly. Ethereal. Cinematic quality.
```

## Troubleshooting
Nodes missing after loading the workflow
- Confirm both custom node packages are installed and ComfyUI has been restarted
- Check the ComfyUI console for import errors
Background not fully removed
- Make sure the transparent background phrase is in your positive prompt
- Try a different rembg model in the RembgBackgroundRemover node (e.g. isnet-anime for illustrated characters)
CUDA out of memory
- Reduce width/height or frame count
- The two diffusion models are large (14B fp8); 16GB+ VRAM recommended
Output file is overwritten unexpectedly
- Change the filename in the Save node before each run
WEBM won't play in browser/editor
- Switch codec to VP9 in the Save node for broader compatibility
