ComfyUI Node: AudioX Video Muter

AudioX Video Muter:

The AudioXVideoMuter node is designed to efficiently remove audio tracks from video files, providing you with a muted version of the video. This node is particularly useful when you need to process videos without the distraction of audio, or when you plan to add new audio tracks later. By focusing solely on the visual content, the AudioXVideoMuter ensures that the video is stripped of any existing sound, allowing for a clean slate in terms of audio content. This can be especially beneficial in creative workflows where the original audio is either irrelevant or needs to be replaced. The node operates by taking a video input, which is typically a batch of images in the ComfyUI format, and outputs a video with the audio removed, while optionally preserving any metadata associated with the original video.

AudioX Video Muter Input Parameters:

video

The video parameter is the primary input for the AudioXVideoMuter node. It accepts a video in the form of a batch of images, which is the standard format used by ComfyUI. This parameter is required, as it provides the visual content from which the audio will be removed. The input video should be prepared in advance, ensuring that it is in the correct format for processing by the node.

preserve_metadata

The preserve_metadata parameter is an optional boolean setting that determines whether the metadata from the original video should be retained in the muted output. By default, this parameter is set to True, meaning that metadata such as timestamps, frame rates, and other relevant information will be preserved. This can be important if you need to maintain consistency with the original video properties for further processing or analysis. If set to False, the metadata will not be preserved, which might be useful in scenarios where metadata is not needed or could interfere with subsequent processing steps.

AudioX Video Muter Output Parameters:

muted_video

The muted_video output is the result of the AudioXVideoMuter node's processing. It provides the video content with the audio track removed, allowing you to work with a silent version of the original video. This output is crucial for workflows that require the video to be free of any sound, either for creative purposes or to prepare the video for new audio tracks. The muted video retains the visual quality and format of the input, ensuring that only the audio component is affected.

AudioX Video Muter Usage Tips:

• Ensure that your input video is in the correct ComfyUI format (batch of images) to avoid processing errors and to ensure smooth operation of the node.
• Use the preserve_metadata option to maintain important video properties if you plan to perform further processing or need to keep the video aligned with other data.

AudioX Video Muter Common Errors and Solutions:

"Invalid video format"

• Explanation: This error occurs when the input video is not in the expected ComfyUI format (batch of images).
• Solution: Convert your video into the correct format before inputting it into the node. Ensure that it is a batch of images as required by ComfyUI.

"Metadata preservation failed"

• Explanation: This error might happen if there is an issue with retaining the metadata during processing.
• Solution: Double-check the preserve_metadata setting and ensure that the input video contains valid metadata. If the problem persists, try setting preserve_metadata to False to bypass metadata retention.
