Common issues
ComfyUI doesn't see the file after I downloaded it▼
Make sure the file is in ComfyUI/models/loras/ (not a subfolder). Restart ComfyUI fully — the menu refresh sometimes misses new files. Filename must match exactly: LTX23_video_vae_bf16.safetensors.
CUDA out of memory error when loading the model▼
LTX23_video_vae_bf16.safetensors needs ~2GB VRAM minimum. If you're hitting OOM: • Enable Sequential Offloading in ComfyUI settings • Lower the resolution (512x512 instead of 1280x720) • Reduce frame count (25 frames instead of 97) • Use a smaller variant — see Related models below.
How do I apply this LoRA in ComfyUI?▼
Load it in a 'LoraLoader' node and connect it after your model loader. Pair this LoRA with the dev base model (not the distilled one) for the right behavior. LoRA strength 1.0 is the trained value — start there.
