Checkpoint Loader W/ Noise Select & Upscaling

[brandostrong]

Hi,

First off I love these custom nodes, I have made countless videos on comfyui now using ADE. That being said, after some searching I have two questions.

First, can someone explain the settings for Checkpoint Loader W/ Noise Select. For beta_schedule, does it do the same thing as the beta_schedule in the ADE model loader, making it superfluous? Also, what are the effects of scale_factor?

Secondly, animatediff works splendidly at its native 512x512 resolution, but loses a lot of quality when done at any different resolution. Does anyone have any good upscaling methods that don't lose the consistency animatediff provides? Currently, I use facedetailer, which does a great job at re-generating and pasting faces back onto on the animatediff video, at no consistency loss. Is there any tiled sampling that can be done for animatediff?

To answer your first question, the Load Checkpoint w/ Noise Select is indeed superfluous - it was not required since like late September when I was able to incorporate it into the AD loader directly. The scale factor refers to the internal scale factor on the model - it's only exposed for experimental purposes. That whole node is a "if you happened to want to edit these settings, then you can now do so" type of deal- it is not needed for anything related to AD.

As for higher resolutions, it works best if you upscale a previous generation. For latent upscales, you can use 0.65ish denoise, and you can add additional controls like ControlNets or ipadapters to maintain similar content. Other upscaling should work too.
