Dynamic Prompts
https://github.com/adieyal/sd-dynamic-prompts.gitThis is an extension that uses multiple prompts at random, similar to the one in “ComfyUI”. For example, if you type {smile|angry|cry}, 1girl in the prompt, it will use one of the three prompts at random. This is useful for batch processing when you want to randomly generate various expressions.
Management-related extensions
Civitai Helper
https://github.com/zixaphir/Stable-Diffusion-Webui-Civitai-Helper.gitWith “Civitai Helper,” you can easily manage your Civitai models.
Video-related extensions
With the announcement of 🔗OpenAI Sora, the quality of txt2mov has improved dramatically. The extensions introduced here are not quite as good as OpenAI Sora’s quality, but there will be extensions like OpenAI Sora in the near future.
Deforum
Deforum-Repository URLhttps://github.com/deforum-art/sd-webui-deforum.gitThis is an extension for creating AI-generated videos. It is more difficult to use than “AnimateDiff,” which will be introduced later, but it allows you to write prompts to specified keyframes and connect keyframes in a nice way, and also allows you to control the camera, such as zooming in.
AnimateDiff
https://github.com/continue-revolution/sd-webui-animatediff.git”AnimateDiff” is an extension that can generate videos more easily than “Deforum”. This one is simpler than “Deforum” and generates videos from prompts. Also, the video quality has been improved since motion module SD1.5 became V3.
Training-related extensions
DreamArtist
https://github.com/IrisRainbowNeko/DreamArtist-sd-webui-extension.gitThis is an extension that creates training data from a single piece of training data and can be used as a prompt. A PC with reasonable specs is required for training data.
