FLUX Deforum
Deforum changed animation. FLUX changed diffusion. I built the architecture to bridge them — a production app for 16-channel latent animation with semantic motion control.
The Hard Problem
FLUX.1 uses 16-channel latents. Deforum was built for Stable Diffusion's 4-channel architecture. This isn't a port — it's new infrastructure.
The Why
To push next-generation creative workflows, bring Deforum animation to FLUX, and contribute back to open source.
Design Decisions
- —Channel-Semantic Grouping: Channels 0-3 control structure, 4-7 colour, 8-11 texture, 12-15 transitions
- —Depth-Aware Parallax: Semantic layers move independently without per-frame depth estimation
- —SLERP Interpolation: Spherical linear interpolation for smooth latent transitions
- —Preset System: One-click configurations for common workflows
