REFMOD likeness feature degrades Stable Diffusion video quality, warns user

A user on Reddit's r/StableDiffusion community has warned that the new REFMOD likeness feature, while initially promising, can significantly degrade video quality. The user explains that REFMOD's method of incorporating reference images and video clips into prompts, when exceeding the documented limits, leads to oversharpening, oversaturation, and an unnatural plastic appearance in generated videos. This degradation is particularly noticeable for users not employing "turbo" LoRAs, which already sacrifice quality for speed. AI
