Prompt Scheduling with Disco Diffusion on Runpod

You could schedule advanced stuff like cuts before, but now you can schedule PROMPTS in Disco Diffusion! That means that you can alter the prompt over the course of your diffusion steps to achieve some really awesome results. Read more to find out how!

DiscoArt, the platform that Runpod's Disco Diffusion is built on, just introduced prompt scheduling today. If you need to learn how to start a pod with the GUI, you can check out this Disco Diffusion on Runpod article.

All you need right now to schedule prompts is to switch on the "Enable Advanced Custom Settings" under the "Custom Settings" expander. Then you can paste in your JSON that contains your prompt schedule like so:

Disco Diffusion advanced custom settings JSON with scheduled text prompts, weights, and clip guidance

Here's the starting prompt used here as an example if you want to copy and edit it:

Now you can totally do stuff like introduce new prompts half-way through your render. You can even turn clip guidance for each prompt on and off independently. I can't wait to try this out and post some results.

Note that using the advanced overrides will ignore the prompts you put into the normal UI. We will be building an advanced prompt editor soon to make this experience better. <3
