ComfyUI Node: 🔥MultiCuttingVideo

🔥MultiCuttingVideo:

The MultiCuttingVideo node is designed to facilitate the process of segmenting a video into multiple parts based on specified time intervals. This node is particularly useful for users who need to break down lengthy video files into smaller, more manageable segments for easier editing, analysis, or distribution. By leveraging the capabilities of FFmpeg, a powerful multimedia processing tool, this node ensures that the video is cut at the nearest keyframe to the specified segment time, which helps maintain video quality and synchronization. This approach is beneficial because it allows for efficient video processing without the need for extensive technical knowledge, making it accessible to AI artists and other creative professionals who may not be familiar with video editing software.

🔥MultiCuttingVideo Input Parameters:

video_path

The video_path parameter specifies the location of the video file you wish to segment. It is a string input that should contain the full path to the video file on your system. This parameter is crucial as it tells the node which video to process. The default value is set to "C:/Users/Desktop/video.mp4", but you can change it to point to any video file you want to work with.

output_path

The output_path parameter defines the directory where the segmented video files will be saved. It is a string input that should contain the full path to the desired output directory. This parameter is important because it determines where the resulting video segments will be stored, allowing you to organize your files effectively. The default value is "C:/Users/Desktop/output", but you can specify any directory that suits your needs.

segment_time

The segment_time parameter indicates the desired length of each video segment in seconds. It is an integer input that allows you to control how long each segment should be. The node will attempt to cut the video at the nearest keyframe to this specified time, which means the actual segment length may vary slightly. The default value is 10 seconds, with a minimum value of 1 second. This parameter is essential for determining the granularity of the video segmentation.

🔥MultiCuttingVideo Output Parameters:

video_complete_path

The video_complete_path output parameter provides the full path to the directory where the segmented video files have been saved. It is a string output that confirms the location of the output files, allowing you to easily access and verify the results of the video segmentation process. This output is important for ensuring that you know where to find the processed video segments.

🔥MultiCuttingVideo Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the video_path is correctly specified and points to a valid video file to avoid processing errors.
• Choose a segment_time that aligns with your project needs, keeping in mind that shorter segments may not always align perfectly with keyframes.
• Verify that the output_path directory exists and has the necessary write permissions to store the segmented video files.

🔥MultiCuttingVideo Common Errors and Solutions:

FileNotFoundError: Video file not found

• Explanation: This error occurs when the specified video_path does not point to an existing video file.
• Solution: Double-check the video_path to ensure it is correct and that the file exists at the specified location.

PermissionError: Cannot write to output directory

• Explanation: This error arises when the node does not have permission to write to the specified output_path.
• Solution: Ensure that the output_path directory exists and that you have the necessary permissions to write files to it.

ValueError: Invalid segment time

• Explanation: This error occurs when the segment_time is set to a value less than the minimum allowed (1 second).
• Solution: Adjust the segment_time to be at least 1 second to ensure valid video segmentation.
