Ever wish you could step behind the camera and change the angle of a scene—after you’ve already shot the video? That’s exactly the kind of movie magic ReCamMaster brings to the table.

What is ReCamMaster AI?

ReCamMaster is a cutting-edge AI framework that lets you re-render any video with new, realistic camera movements, as if you had a virtual film crew at your fingertips. Whether you’re a filmmaker wanting to “reshoot” a scene without the hassle, a gamer dreaming of dynamic replays, or a researcher needing multi-view data for AI, ReCamMaster makes it possible to rewrite your video’s cinematography long after the director yelled “cut!”.

Why Camera Control is Important

💡

Camera control is really important to me when making videos, whether I’m using real cameras or AI tools. By choosing how the camera moves and what it focuses on, I can tell my story better and make sure viewers feel what I want them to feel. Smooth camera movements help me show important details, create excitement, and keep people interested. With the use of this ComfyUI workflow, I can use cameras to do creative things that aren’t possible in real life, making my videos look more professional and interesting. Good camera control lets me turn my ideas into videos that people enjoy watching.

Features of ReCamMaster

ReCamMaster offers a suite of advanced features for camera-controlled video re-rendering:

Change camera angles, pan, tilt, zoom, or create arc movements in existing videos without reshooting
Apply to real-world footage thanks to training on a massive multi-camera dataset built in Unreal Engine 5
Support for applications like video stabilization, super-resolution, and outpainting
Generate immersive content for virtual reality, gaming, and autonomous driving
Preserve the original scene's dynamics while creating new perspectives
Produce smooth, realistic motion across frames

These capabilities make ReCamMaster a powerful tool for filmmakers, content creators, and researchers seeking to enhance or transform video content in post-production.

Limitations of ReCamMaster

While ReCamMaster is powerful for camera-controlled video re-rendering, it does have some limitations:

Its advanced video conditioning method can be a bit demanding on local machines

Sometimes struggles with generating fine details in complex actions, like hand movements or small, fast-moving objects
Inherits some weaknesses from the underlying pre-trained text-to-video models
Camera control is limited to predefined paths, which can feel restrictive when seeking more creative flexibility

How to run ReCamMaster on ComfyUI

Installation guide

Prerequisites

ComfyUI installed (locally or via ThinkDiffusion)
Minimum ThinkDiffusion Turbo 24GB machine (Ultra 48GB recommended)

ThinkDiffusion-StableDiffusion-ComfyUI-Vid2Vid-Wan-ReCamMaster-v3

Download the File Here

ThinkDiffusion-StableDiffusion-ComfyUI-Vid2Vid-Wan-ReCamMaster-v3.json

64 KB

💡

Download the workflow and drag & drop it into your ComfyUI window, whether locally or on ThinkDiffusion. If you're using ThinkDiffusion, it's necessary to use at minimum the Turbo 24gb machine, but we do recommend the Ultra 48gb machine.

Install Missing Custom Nodes

If you see red nodes in your workflow, it means you're missing some required custom nodes. Follow these steps to install them so your workflow can function properly.

Go to ComfyUI Manager > Click Install Missing Custom Nodes

Check the list below if there's a list of custom nodes that needs to be installed and click the install.

Set up Custom Models

For this guide, you'll need 6 recommended models. 5 models need to be downloaded manually, while 1 model will auto-download.

1. Wan2_1_kwai_recammaster_1_3B_step20000_bf16.safetensors
2. detailz-wan.safetensors
3. wan2.1-1.3b-control-lora-depth-v0.1_comfy.safetensors
4. Wan2_1_VAE_bf16.safetensors
5. umt5-xxl-enc-bf16.safetensors
6. Florence-2-large-ft (auto-download)

Go to ComfyUI Manager > Click Model Manager

Search for the models above and when you find the exact model that you're looking for, click install and make sure to press refresh when you are finished.

Model Path Source

Some of my models may not be available in the model manager. Use the model path source instead if you prefer to install the models using model's link address and paste into ThinkDiffusion MyFiles using upload URL.

Step-by-step Workflow Guide

This workflow was pretty easy to set up and runs well from the default settings. Here are a few steps where you might want to take extra note.

Steps	Recommended Nodes
1. Set the Input Load a video. Set the frames (must not exceed 81 frames). Set resolution up to 1280 x 720.
2. Set the Models Set the models as seen on the image.
3. Write the Prompt Let the Florence generate the prompt based from your image. Let it be there the trigger word detailz which help the quality. And you can add additional prompt after the trigger word.
4. Set the Camera Set your desired camera pose which serve as camera control trajectory.
5. Check the Sampling Check the sampling settings as seen on the image.
6. Check Output

Examples

Below are examples showing before and after comparisons using ReCamMaster.

💡

At the moment, users can choose from five different camera poses in the workflow, thanks to the available node presets. These options let me easily add dynamic movements like panning, tilting, and zooming to my projects without having to manually keyframe each shot. I find this really helpful for creating more engaging and professional-looking animations.

💡

I’m also excited about the future updates, as there are plans to introduce even more advanced features such as complex camera trajectories, 4D reconstruction, video stabilization, and other enhancements. These additions will definitely give me even greater creative flexibility and control over my video projects.
