Create OpenPose Videos for Animate Anyone, AnimatedDiff and Other Video Model (ComfyUI Tutorial)

Unlock precise character motion tracking for AI animation! In this step-by-step tutorial, I show you how to take a real-world source video and convert it into a clean OpenPose keyframe skeletal animation to drive generation pipelines like Animate Anyone or AnimatedDiff.

Using a streamlined ComfyUI workflow, I explain how to handle heavy video files by tweaking parameters such as Frame Load Cap, Skip First Frames, and Select Every Nth Frame to break long videos down into stable, error-free chunks. You'll see how to leverage the advanced DWPose Estimator pre-processor node alongside specialized tracking models (YOLOv8 and DWPose weights) to capture faces and body poses perfectly. Finally, we configure the Video Helper Suite's Video Combine node to render the tracking data straight out into a crisp 24 FPS MP4.
