ComfyUI Node: 🔶 controlnet Apply Frame

🔶 controlnet Apply Frame:

The chaosaiart_ControlNetApply3 node is designed to enhance your AI art generation process by applying control hints to both positive and negative conditioning data. This node allows you to integrate a control network with an image, adjusting the strength and timing of the control application. By doing so, it provides a more refined and controlled output, ensuring that the generated art adheres to specific guidelines or styles. The node is particularly useful for artists looking to fine-tune their AI-generated art by leveraging control networks to influence the conditioning data, thereby achieving more precise and desired results.

🔶 controlnet Apply Frame Input Parameters:

activ_frame

This parameter represents the active frame in the sequence. It is used to determine if the control should be applied based on the current frame's position within the specified start and end frames. The value should be an integer, with a default minimum of 1 and a maximum of 999999999.

positive

This parameter takes in the positive conditioning data, which is used to guide the AI in generating the desired output. It is a required input and should be of the type CONDITIONING.

negative

This parameter takes in the negative conditioning data, which helps the AI avoid generating undesired elements in the output. It is a required input and should be of the type CONDITIONING.

control_net

This parameter represents the control network that will be applied to the conditioning data. It is a required input and should be of the type CONTROL_NET.

image

This parameter is the image that provides the control hint. The control hint is derived from this image and is used to influence the conditioning data. It is a required input and should be of the type IMAGE.

strength_override

This optional parameter allows you to override the default strength of the control application. It is a float value with a default of 1.0, a minimum of 0.0, and a maximum of 100000. The forceInput attribute ensures that this parameter is always provided if specified.

start_override

This optional parameter allows you to override the default start point of the control application. It is a float value with a default of 0.0, a minimum of 0.0, and a maximum of 100000. The forceInput attribute ensures that this parameter is always provided if specified.

end_override

This optional parameter allows you to override the default end point of the control application. It is a float value with a default of 1.0, a minimum of 0.0, and a maximum of 100000. The forceInput attribute ensures that this parameter is always provided if specified.

strength

This parameter sets the strength of the control application. It is a float value with a default of 1.0, a minimum of 0.0, and a maximum of 3.0. This parameter determines how strongly the control hint influences the conditioning data.

start

This parameter sets the start point of the control application. It is a float value with a default of 0.0, a minimum of 0.0, and a maximum of 1.0. This parameter determines when the control application begins within the sequence.

end

This parameter sets the end point of the control application. It is a float value with a default of 1.0, a minimum of 0.0, and a maximum of 1.0. This parameter determines when the control application ends within the sequence.

start_Frame

This parameter sets the starting frame for the control application. It is an integer value with a default of 1, a minimum of 1, and a maximum of 999999999. This parameter is used to define the frame range within which the control is applied.

End_Frame

This parameter sets the ending frame for the control application. It is an integer value with a default of 9999, a minimum of 1, and a maximum of 999999999. This parameter is used to define the frame range within which the control is applied.

🔶 controlnet Apply Frame Output Parameters:

POSITVE

This output parameter provides the modified positive conditioning data after the control network has been applied. It retains the type CONDITIONING and reflects the influence of the control hint on the positive conditioning.

NEGATIVE

This output parameter provides the modified negative conditioning data after the control network has been applied. It retains the type CONDITIONING and reflects the influence of the control hint on the negative conditioning.

🔶 controlnet Apply Frame Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the strength parameter is set appropriately to balance the influence of the control hint on the conditioning data.
• Use the start and end parameters to fine-tune the timing of the control application, especially when working with sequences or animations.
• Utilize the strength_override, start_override, and end_override parameters for more granular control when needed, allowing for dynamic adjustments based on specific requirements.

🔶 controlnet Apply Frame Common Errors and Solutions:

"Strength value is zero"

• Explanation: The strength parameter is set to 0, which means no control will be applied.
• Solution: Increase the strength value to a positive number to enable the control application.

"Start and end values are equal"

• Explanation: The start and end parameters are set to the same value, resulting in no control application.
• Solution: Adjust the start and end values to define a valid range for the control application.

"Invalid frame range"

• Explanation: The active frame is outside the specified start and end frame range.
• Solution: Ensure that the active frame falls within the defined start and end frame range to apply the control correctly.
