• Create an image in the txt2img tab.

Below is the starting image we have generated with txt2img and the roop extension, showcasing the beauty of Margot Robbie (Barbie) 💗

• Send the image to the img2img tab.
• Navigate to the img2img tab.

Before we begin generating the video, we must set up some configurations settings in the img2img tab. Please follow the provided steps below:

• Select a Checkpoint, we will use Cyberrealistic
• Provide a positive prompt.
• Provide a negative prompt.

We strongly advise following our recommended settings, as they will yield outstanding results in your final video. The following settings are:

• Sampling Method: DPM++ 2M SDE Karras
• Sampling Steps: 30
• Restore faces: "Enabled"
• CFG Scale: 7
• Denoising strength: 0,3
• Seed: -1

Feel free to experiment with those settings, but we recommend keeping the denoising strength at 0,3.

To match the beauty of Margot Robbie's face, we will scroll down and "enable" the Roop extension. If you haven't installed the Roop extension yet, you can refer to our detailed guide below:

How to Face Swap in Stable Diffusion with Roop Extension

If Roop is already installed, continue with the following steps:

• "Enable" the Roop extension
• Supply the Roop extension with an image of Margot Robbie's face

Next, we will choose the "Loopback Wave" script from the Script dropdown menu and configure the necessary settings as demonstrated below:

• Frames: 100
• Frames Per Wave: 20
• Max additional denoise: 0.7
• Frames per Second: 10
• Video Quality (crf): 40
• Video encoding: VP9 (webm)

Displayed below is an image showcasing all the settings utilized in generating the video:

As you may have noticed, we also offer some prompt changes in the waveback loop script. In the Prompt Changes text box, you have the option to modify the prompt at a specific frame. Just input the frame number where you want the transition to happen, followed by :: and then your desired prompt.

Please note that the video is generated with 100 frames, and each wave comprises 20 frames. To ensure a high-quality video, it is crucial to make prompt changes at the same intervals as the frames per wave, which, in this case, is every 20 steps.

Even if you have no intention of altering the prompt, we recommend populating the prompt change text box with the same base prompt used to generate the images. This practice will generate new images at specific frames, leading to a higher-quality background rather than a faded out, blurry one.

Having everything set up, you are now able to move forward with generating the video.

Please bear in mind that the generation process may take a while, depending on the capabilities of your GPU graphics card.

Once the entire process is completed, you can locate the generated video within the following directory: stable-diffusion-webui > outputs > img2img-images > loopbackwave

Within the folder, you will find the collection of generated images, a video file in webm format, and a text file containing your settings and prompt information.

Simply double-click on the video file, and prepare to be amazed by the exquisite portrayal of Barbie, portrayed by the talented Margot Robbie 💗
