ComfyUI Node: Get Last Output Video Path

Get Last Output Video Path:

The Get Last Output Video Path node is designed to help you efficiently locate the most recent video file generated by ComfyUI within a specified subfolder. This node is particularly useful for AI artists who frequently work with video outputs and need a quick way to access the latest file without manually searching through directories. By leveraging this node, you can streamline your workflow, ensuring that you always have easy access to your most recent video creations. The node operates by searching for video files in the specified subfolder and sorting them based on either the date of modification or the file name, allowing you to customize the retrieval process according to your preferences.

Get Last Output Video Path Input Parameters:

subfolder

The subfolder parameter allows you to specify a particular subdirectory within the main output directory of ComfyUI where the node should search for video files. This parameter is crucial for organizing your video outputs into different categories or projects, making it easier to locate specific files. The default value is an empty string, which means the node will look in the main output directory if no subfolder is specified. There are no minimum or maximum values for this parameter, as it is a string representing the folder path.

sort_by

The sort_by parameter determines the criteria used to sort the video files found in the specified subfolder. You can choose between two options: "Date" or "Name". Selecting "Date" will sort the files by their last modified time, with the newest files appearing first, which is useful when you want to access the most recently created video. Choosing "Name" will sort the files alphabetically in reverse order, which can be helpful if you organize your files with a naming convention that reflects their content or creation order. The default value for this parameter is "Date".

If no video files are found, the node will return an empty string, indicating that there are no available files in the specified location. This output helps streamline your workflow by providing direct access to your most recent video creations.
