ComfyUI Node: LoadVideo

LoadVideo:

The LoadVideo node is designed to facilitate the loading of video files into your AI art projects. This node allows you to easily select and import video files from a specified input directory, making it a crucial tool for projects that involve video processing or manipulation. By providing a streamlined method to access video files, LoadVideo helps you integrate video content seamlessly into your workflows, enhancing your creative capabilities and efficiency.

LoadVideo Input Parameters:

video

This parameter allows you to select a video file from the input directory. The available options include files with the extensions mp4, webm, mkv, and avi. The function of this parameter is to specify which video file you want to load for further processing. The impact of this parameter on the node's execution is significant, as it determines the source video that will be used in subsequent operations. There are no minimum or maximum values for this parameter, but it is essential to ensure that the selected file is in one of the supported formats.

LoadVideo Output Parameters:

VIDEO

The output parameter VIDEO provides the path to the selected video file. This output is crucial as it serves as the reference to the video file that will be used in downstream nodes or processes. The interpretation of this output is straightforward: it is the file path of the video you have chosen to load, enabling other nodes to access and manipulate the video content as needed.

LoadVideo Usage Tips:

• Ensure that your input directory contains only the video files you intend to use, as this will make it easier to select the correct file from the list.
• Use descriptive filenames for your video files to quickly identify the content you need to load, which can save time during the selection process.
• Verify that your video files are in one of the supported formats (mp4, webm, mkv, avi) to avoid compatibility issues.

LoadVideo Common Errors and Solutions:

FileNotFoundError

• Explanation: This error occurs when the specified video file cannot be found in the input directory.
• Solution: Ensure that the video file exists in the input directory and that the filename is spelled correctly.

UnsupportedFileFormatError

• Explanation: This error is raised when the selected video file is not in one of the supported formats (mp4, webm, mkv, avi).
• Solution: Convert your video file to a supported format and place it in the input directory before attempting to load it again.

PermissionError

• Explanation: This error occurs if the node does not have the necessary permissions to access the input directory or the video file.
• Solution: Check the permissions of the input directory and the video file, and ensure that the node has the required access rights.
