2. Convert each scene to ComfyUI prompt
3. Send to ComfyUI for image generation
4. Generate TTS narration for each scene
5. Combine into video (WIP)

Troubleshooting

• ComfyUI not responding: Check if ComfyUI is running at http://127.0.0.1:8188
• Model not found: Update ckpt_name in workflow to match available models
• Image generation fails: Check ComfyUI console for error messages
