The video_path parameter is a crucial input for the Bjornulf_VideoPreview node, as it specifies the location of the video file you wish to preview. This parameter must be a valid file path pointing to the video you intend to work with. The node uses this path to locate the video file, copy it to the designated output directory, and determine its type based on the file extension. It is important to ensure that the path provided is correct and accessible, as an incorrect path will result in an error. There are no specific minimum or maximum values for this parameter, but it must be a valid string representing a file path.

This output is essential for understanding where the video has been copied and how it can be accessed for further use. The ui output helps you keep track of the video files within your workflow, ensuring that you can easily locate and manage them as needed.
