ComfyUI Node: LoadVideoPath

LoadVideoPath:

The LoadVideoPath node is designed to facilitate the loading of video files within a node-based workflow, providing both the video object and its complete file path as outputs. This node is particularly useful for AI artists who need to incorporate video content into their projects, as it simplifies the process of accessing and utilizing video files stored in a specified directory. By offering a straightforward method to load videos, this node enhances the efficiency of workflows that involve video processing or manipulation, allowing users to focus on creative tasks rather than technical file handling.

LoadVideoPath Input Parameters:

file

The file parameter allows you to select a video file from a predefined list of available video files in the input directory. This parameter is crucial as it determines which video will be loaded and processed by the node. The list of files is filtered to include only video content, ensuring that you can easily find and select the desired video. There are no specific minimum, maximum, or default values for this parameter, but it is essential to choose a valid video file to ensure the node functions correctly.

LoadVideoPath Output Parameters:

video

The video output provides the video object that has been loaded from the specified file. This object can be used in subsequent nodes for further processing, analysis, or manipulation, making it a vital component for workflows that involve video content.

path

The path output returns the complete file path of the selected video. This information is useful for referencing the video file in other parts of your workflow or for documentation purposes, ensuring you have a clear record of the file's location.

LoadVideoPath Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the input directory is correctly set up with the video files you intend to use, as this will streamline the selection process within the node.
• Regularly update the list of available video files in the input directory to reflect any changes or additions, ensuring that you always have access to the latest content.

LoadVideoPath Common Errors and Solutions:

Invalid video file: <file>

• Explanation: This error occurs when the specified video file does not exist in the annotated file path or is not recognized as a valid video file.
• Solution: Verify that the file name is correct and that the file is present in the input directory. Ensure that the file is a supported video format and try reloading the node to refresh the list of available files.
