Authorization notice. AI Movie Studiov2 is dual-use. Only use it on software, sites and systems you own or have explicit permission to test.
Credentials. Cloud API keys for Fal and Replicate are entered in the Settings panel, so store and rotate them carefully.
Who it is forA creator with a local GPU who sometimes needs cloud models for speed or for a model not installed locally.
The problemEach AI engine has its own setup and interface, so switching providers usually means reworking the whole workflow.
The outcomeThe same storyboard shots generated through either a local ComfyUI driver or a Fal or Replicate driver, with the results compared side by side.
What you need first
- A local ComfyUI install, or an account with Fal or Replicate and its API key
- The local setup described in the README Quick Start section (the setup commands are not in the text provided, so follow that section directly)
- A web browser for the app interface
- Enough local disk space and GPU memory for the ComfyUI models you choose, if running locally
Steps
- Open the Settings panel from the gear icon in the header and add your Fal or Replicate API keys.
- If running locally, set your ComfyUI models directory in Settings and confirm the models appear in the dropdowns.
- Choose the driver and image model for a shot from the dropdown in the interface.
- Generate the same shot once with a local model and once with a cloud model.
- Compare the results and keep the driver that fits your needs.
Prompt for your agent
Using the Heroesjouney/AIMovieStudiov2 repo, generate the shot <shot id> once with a local ComfyUI model and once with a Fal or Replicate model. Report which driver and model produced each image and list any errors returned by a provider.
Caveat. The README describes the Driver System but does not list which specific Fal or Replicate models are available beyond the counts given, so check the dropdowns before planning a shot around one.
