ComfyUI Node: Video Text

Video Text:

The VideoText node is designed to facilitate the integration of text into video content, providing a seamless way to overlay or incorporate textual elements within video frames. This node is particularly beneficial for AI artists and creators who wish to enhance their video projects with dynamic text, such as captions, subtitles, or annotations. By utilizing this node, you can easily add text to your videos, ensuring that the text is synchronized with the video content and appears at the desired moments. The primary goal of the VideoText node is to streamline the process of adding text to videos, making it accessible and efficient for users without requiring extensive technical knowledge.

Video Text Input Parameters:

text

The text parameter allows you to specify the textual content that you want to overlay on the video. This can include captions, subtitles, or any other form of text that you wish to display. The text you input here will be rendered onto the video frames at the specified times and locations. There are no strict minimum or maximum values for this parameter, but it is important to ensure that the text is concise and relevant to the video content.

position

The position parameter determines where on the video frame the text will appear. This can be specified in terms of coordinates or predefined positions such as top-left, bottom-right, etc. The position you choose will affect the visibility and impact of the text on the video, so it is important to select a position that complements the video content.

font_size

The font_size parameter controls the size of the text that will be displayed on the video. This parameter allows you to adjust the text size to ensure readability and aesthetic appeal. The font size can be specified in points or pixels, and it is important to choose a size that is neither too small to read nor too large to distract from the video content.

color

The color parameter allows you to specify the color of the text. This can be defined using color names, hexadecimal codes, or RGB values. The choice of color can significantly impact the visibility and mood of the text, so it is important to select a color that contrasts well with the video background and aligns with the overall theme of the video.

Video Text Output Parameters:

video_with_text

The video_with_text output parameter provides the final video file with the text overlay applied. This output is the result of the node's processing, where the specified text has been integrated into the video frames according to the input parameters. The video with text can be used for further editing, sharing, or publishing, and it represents the culmination of the text integration process.

Video Text Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the text you input is concise and relevant to the video content to maintain viewer engagement.
• Choose a text position that does not obstruct important elements of the video, ensuring that the text enhances rather than detracts from the visual experience.
• Select a font size and color that ensure readability and contrast well with the video background for maximum impact.

Video Text Common Errors and Solutions:

Text not visible on video

• Explanation: This error may occur if the text color blends with the video background or if the font size is too small.
• Solution: Adjust the text color to a contrasting shade and increase the font size to improve visibility.

Text appears at incorrect position

• Explanation: This issue can arise if the position parameter is not set correctly or if there is a misunderstanding of the coordinate system.
• Solution: Double-check the position parameter and ensure it is set to the desired location on the video frame.

Video output quality is poor

• Explanation: The output video quality may be affected by incorrect settings or compression during processing.
• Solution: Verify the video settings and ensure that the output resolution and quality settings are appropriately configured.
