Regarding this.
>>29358460 is two gens of i2v, one of them reversed, then a FLF, then a trip through VACE to clean up the loop.

So, 3 gens. Base image is at 5 second mark.
The VACE workflows were a bitch to set up, but they automatically create masks according to how long I specify the gaps to be, so it's easy. They're 1.3b, as the 14b VACE is too much for my humble machine, and for a 4~8 frame gap take about 3 minutes, vs the 30s the interpolate-splicer takes.
