[Workflow updated] Swapped Joker with Harley Quinn in the Classic Stair Dance!
Open-source AI delivers stunning motion transfer, rivaling closed-source models
An AI developer has released an updated motion transfer workflow that swaps Joker with Harley Quinn in the iconic Classic Stair Dance video. The project, built on ComfyUI, demonstrates the power of open-source models in specific scenarios, claiming they can rival closed-source alternatives. The developer spent over two weeks developing the workflow and video tutorial, aiming to foster discussion within the open-source AI community.
The update addresses security concerns by replacing a controversial Memory Cleaner node—originally from a privately deployed cloud-based extension—with Layerstyle's Purge VRAM function. The developer clarifies that the cloud-based node posed no local security threat, but swapped it to prevent misunderstandings. The workflow is shared free of charge, though the developer notes minor imperfections in some shots, which could be fixed with additional generation attempts not pursued here.
