ComfyUI Node: Upload Visual Media

Upload Visual Media:

The JNodes_UploadVisualMedia node is designed to facilitate the uploading of visual media files into your project environment. This node is particularly useful for AI artists who need to incorporate external media files, such as images or videos, into their workflows. By leveraging this node, you can easily upload media files from your local system or other sources, ensuring they are correctly referenced and accessible within your project. The node handles the complexities of file path resolution and validation, making the process seamless and efficient. This functionality is essential for projects that require the integration of various media assets, allowing you to focus on your creative tasks without worrying about file management issues.

Upload Visual Media Input Parameters:

media

The media parameter specifies the path to the media file you wish to upload. This can be a relative path within your project directory or an absolute path from your local file system. The node will resolve this path to ensure the file is accessible and valid. If the file is not found or is invalid, an error will be returned. This parameter is crucial as it directly impacts the node's ability to locate and upload the specified media file.

Upload Visual Media Output Parameters:

STRING

The output parameter STRING provides the full local path to the uploaded media file. This path is essential for subsequent nodes or processes that need to access the media file. If the media file was uploaded from the Image Drawer, additional metadata about the media may also be included. This output ensures that the media file is correctly referenced and can be utilized in your project without any path-related issues.

Upload Visual Media Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the media file path provided is correct and accessible from your project environment to avoid upload errors.
• Use relative paths for media files within your project directory to maintain portability and avoid issues with absolute paths.
• Validate the media file before uploading to ensure it meets the required format and size constraints for your project.
