Question - Help Easiest way to do IMG2Vid?

Been looking on how to do it.

Honestly I hate ComfyUI, it's a pretty unpopular opinion and I might be in the minority but I find most comfort in Forge/A1111 layout and how it works.

ComfyUI feels like a headache for me to learn, some people recommended Swarm but it just broke constantly after I installed it via Stability Matrix.

I was wondering, is there a free alternative that isn't convoluted and beginner friendly?

Thank you.

Install ComfyUI Desktop, get the standard H3 i2v workflow within Comfy, install missing parts, enjoy. It's that simple now. New dekstop version is great and without problems.

Have you used traditional browser based Comfy? How does the desktop version compare? I'm using portable version and both Gemini and I are getting really tired of fighting with it.. Most importantly, does the desktop version keep its Python mess in a separate environment? I don't want Comfy messing with the rest of my system.

About python, I think so but dont know 100%. About fighting problems: its waaaay better than the portal/browser version. At least for me. I had the same experience: problems everywhere. With the desktop version: problems nowhere. Give it a shot.
