ComfyUI Node: Load Video

Load Video:

The LoadVideo node is designed to facilitate the seamless integration of video files into your workflow. Its primary purpose is to load video files from a specified directory, making them readily available for further processing or analysis within the ComfyUI environment. This node is particularly beneficial for users who need to work with video content, as it simplifies the process of accessing and utilizing video files without requiring extensive technical knowledge. By leveraging the LoadVideo node, you can efficiently manage video inputs, ensuring that they are correctly identified and prepared for subsequent operations. This node is essential for tasks that involve video manipulation, analysis, or any application where video data is a critical component.

Load Video Input Parameters:

file

The file parameter represents the video file you wish to load into the system. It is a required input that allows you to select from a list of available video files in the designated input directory. The function of this parameter is to specify the exact video file that the node will process. The impact of this parameter on the node's execution is significant, as it determines which video content will be loaded and made available for further operations. There are no explicit minimum, maximum, or default values for this parameter, as it depends on the files present in the input directory. However, it is crucial to ensure that the selected file is a valid video format supported by the system.

Load Video Output Parameters:

VIDEO

The output of the LoadVideo node is a VIDEO object, which encapsulates the loaded video file. This output is crucial as it provides a structured representation of the video data, allowing for easy manipulation and analysis within the ComfyUI environment. The VIDEO object serves as a bridge between the raw video file and the various processing nodes that may follow, ensuring that the video content is accessible and ready for any subsequent tasks. Understanding the VIDEO output is essential for effectively utilizing the video data in your workflow, as it forms the basis for any further operations you may wish to perform on the video content.

Load Video Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the input directory is correctly set up and contains the video files you intend to use. This will streamline the process of selecting and loading the desired video file.
• Regularly update the input directory with new video files as needed, and use the LoadVideo node to refresh the list of available files, ensuring you always have access to the latest content.

Load Video Common Errors and Solutions:

Invalid video file: <file_name>

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

No video data was returned

• Explanation: This error indicates that the node was unable to load the video data, possibly due to an issue with the file or its path.
• Solution: Check the file path and ensure that the video file is accessible and not corrupted. If the problem persists, try using a different video file to determine if the issue is file-specific.
