Ep 2: Run your first workflow
8 min
your first image we could build a workflow from scratch, but let's start with a template so you can see results fast open the templates tab in the left sidebar and select zimage turbo the workflow loads onto your canvas set your prompt you'll see nodes already connected the main thing to change is the text prompt describe what you want to generate a scene, a character, an object, whatever you're curious about you can also adjust the image dimensions (width and height in pixels) leave everything else at defaults for now hit run click the run button in the top bar watch the nodes light up as data moves through them text gets encoded, the model generates, the vae converts the result, and an image appears the first run takes longer because the models need to load into memory after that, subsequent runs with the same model are faster what just happened every workflow in comfyui follows this same pattern load a model, provide inputs, generate, convert, save the template did all the wiring for you in the next few episodes, you'll learn how to do that wiring yourself faq why is my first run slow? models need to load into memory the first time runs after that are faster as long as you're using the same model does it matter which template i pick? for learning, no zimage turbo is recommended here because it's fast you can try any template, the interface works the same way where does comfyui save workflows? on floyo, workflows save to your account automatically if you're running comfyui locally, workflows save as json files you can also export any workflow as json from the menu to share it < what is comfyui? docid\ e20ndvnzx9ngqozk75lpr ep 3 nodes 101 docid\ bmn9cznal urcr43vlcwv >
