Does it work on macbook pro m3/m4?

I tried to run it on my M4 (48 GB RAM) but couldn't get the output.
I also tried with comfyUI , it worked but the generated video is just noise and lines.

I get noise if i try to have it do too many frames. I think my limit was around 4 seconds. After that, noise. ( didn't time it, but it was small enough i moved on as not much use for me at this time ).

What are you rendering on?

I tried installing it standalone as well as with comfyUI. With Comfy UI I was able to run the workflow too but the output is just a noisy/blurry sequence of frames. I am running it on M4 macbook pro with 48GB of RAM.

@monk05 Someone on Discord mentioned that they work on an MBP M3, and it takes about 5 minutes per video. Additionally, some users have reported managing to run it with under 6GB of VRAM—I believe I saw this mentioned on Reddit, though I don’t have the exact link.

@Shecht-ltx Thanks a ton man. Your comment helped me to make it work.

@monk05 how did you get it to work in the end? Care to share a guide somewhere? I know I'd massively appreciate it! :D

@monk05 : Any details on how you made it work?

On the Mac (Apple Silicon), I found that torch 2.5 or above would give me noise like @monk05 posted above. Backed down to 2.4.1 solved the problem ... however, JC2 would stop working because it only works with torch 2.5 or above, 🤦
