Dough is an open-source art tool for steering video with precision
⬇️ Scroll down for Setup Instructions - Currently available on Linux & Windows computers with more than 12GB of VRAM, hosted version coming soon.
Dough is a tool for crafting videos with AI. Our goal is to give you enough control over video generations that you can make beautiful creations of anything you imagine that feel uniquely your own.
To achieve this, we allow you to guide video generations with precision using a combination of images (via Steerable Motion) and examples videos (via Motion Director) with granular motion settings for each frame.
To start, with Dough, you generate hundreds of images in the right style and theme using the Inspiration Engine:
You can then assemble these frames into shots that you can granularly edit:
And then animate these with granular settings for each frame and Motion LoRAs:
As an example of it in action, here's 4 images steering, alongside a LoRA trained on a video:
While here are four abstract images animated by each of the different workflows available inside Dough:
We're obviously very biased think that it'll be possible to create extraordinarily beautiful things with this and we're excited to see what you make! Please share stuff you made in our Discord.

Other Setup Instructions:
Setting up on Runpod
1) We recommend setting up persistent storage for a quick setup and for your projects to persist. To get it going, click into “Storage”, select “New Network Volume”. 50GB should be more than enough to start. 2) Select a machine - any should work, but we recommend a 4090. 3) During setup, open the relevant ports for Dough like below:Manual installation instructions for Linux
### Install the app This commands sets up the app. Run this only the first time, after that you can simply start the app using the next command. ```bash curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/banodoco/Dough/green-head/scripts/linux_setup.sh | bash ``` ### Enter the folder In terminal, run: ```bash cd Dough ``` ### Run the app you can run the app using ```bash source ./dough-env/bin/activate && ./scripts/entrypoint.sh ```Manual installation instructions for Windows
### Open Powershell in Administrator mode Open the Start menu, type Windows PowerShell, right-click on Windows PowerShell, and then select Run as administrator. Then run this command ```Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned``` **NOTE:** Make sure you have Python3.10 installed and set as the default Python version ### Install the app Install MS C++ Redistributable (if not already present) - https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x64.exe ### Navigate to Documents Make sure you're in the documents folder by running the following command: ```bash cd ~\Documents ``` ### Run the setup script ```bash iwr -useb "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/banodoco/Dough/green-head/scripts/windows_setup.bat" -OutFile "script.bat" Start-Process "cmd.exe" -ArgumentList "/c script.bat" ``` ### Enter the folder In Powershell, run: ```bash cd Dough ``` ### Run the app ```bash . .\dough-env\Scripts\activate ; .\scripts\entrypoint.bat ```Troubleshooting
Common problems (click to expand)
Issue during installation
- Make sure you are using python3.10 - If you are on Windows, make sure permissions of the Dough folder are not restricted (try to grant full access to everyone) - Double-check that you are not inside any system-protected folders like system32 - Install the app in admin mode. Open the powershell in the admin mode and run "Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned". Then follow the installation instructions given in the readme - If all of the above fail, try to run the following instructions one by one and report which one is throwing the error ```bash call dough-env\Scripts\activate.bat python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip pip install -r requirements.txt pip install websocket pip install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118 pip install -r comfy_runner\requirements.txt pip install -r ComfyUI\requirements.txt ```Unable to locate credentials
Make a copy of ".env.sample" and rename it to ".env"Issue during runtime
- If a particular node inside Comfy is throwing an error then delete that node and restart the app - Make sure you are using python3.10 and the virtual environment is activated - Try doing "git pull origin main" to get the latest codeGenerations are in progress for a long time
- Check the terminal if any progress is being made (they can be very slow, especially in the case of upscaling) - Cancel the generations directly from the sidebar if they are stuck - If you don't see any logs in the terminal, make sure no other program is running at port 12345 on your machine as Dough uses that portSome other error?
