Render anywhere: your GPU, Comfy Cloud, or another model.
1. Your GPU
1
Queue some shots
With ComfyUI running on this PC (or set in Settings → ComfyUI), Generate missing
or Render this shot queues on it. Nothing else to set.
2
Watch Jobs
Jobs (top right) has one lane per backend. Your own ComfyUI runs one job at a time:
the pictures first, then the takes. Each job shows its progress and its log; Earlier
and Later reorder a waiting one, Pause holds the lane.
3
See the graph (optional)
Each shot is a ComfyUI workflow of its own: seriesmith’s Shot Loader, the model, the
sampler, the saver. Open it on ComfyUI’s canvas any time. To change how a model renders,
see The graph a model renders with.
2. Comfy Cloud
No GPU needed: the same shot, on Comfy’s machines.1
Set a Comfy API key
Get a key at platform.comfy.org, then Settings → Comfy API key, paste it and save.
It turns on Comfy Cloud and Comfy Router. (A clone in
custom_nodes may need Comfy’s SDK:
Settings shows the command, or an Install button.)2
Render on Comfy Cloud
In the top bar, Render on → cloud. Every render from this page goes there this
session (back to each shot’s own to undo). Or choose it per request in the Render
dialog’s own Render on row.
3
Render a shot
Render as usual. Cloud doesn’t have seriesmith’s nodes, so the shot’s graph is rebuilt from
Cloud’s own, and its pictures go with it, cut for that shot. It runs on the Cloud lane
in Jobs.
4
Compare
The take comes back beside the one from your GPU: Compare with…, and Use the one
you want.
3. One shot on another model
Any shot can render on any model, without changing the rest of the episode.1
Open New take…
Right-click a shot’s take → New take like this one….
2
Pick the model
Its Model class list is grouped by where a model runs: Your GPU first, then
Comfy Router (paid). Pick Seedance 2.5. This is a one-off: the shot’s own model is
unchanged.
3
Check the size and length
Under it, the size and length are that model’s for this shot (its own frame grid), so
what it prints is what you get.
4
Generate
Generate the take. It runs on the Router lane; Jobs says where it is at Router
(waiting at Router (#2 in line), running on Router).
5
Pick one for the cut
Seedance’s take sits beside H3’s: compare, and Use the one you want. Only this shot
changed.
4. Paid runs
Comfy Cloud and Router bill your Comfy account.- The count: Jobs’ title counts this session’s paid runs, with reset.
- A batch asks first: Generate missing or Re-render stale on a paid backend confirms before queuing.
- A cap: Settings → Paid runs per session stops queuing past that number (empty is no cap).
- Hosted models are never picked by themselves: a series renders on Router only where you choose a Router model.
