ComfyUI Node: Preview Live Photo

Preview Live Photo:

The LivePhotoPreview node is designed to provide a seamless way to preview live photos, which are essentially short video clips that capture moments in a dynamic format. This node is particularly useful for artists and creators who want to visualize how their live photos will appear before finalizing them. By offering a preview function, it allows you to ensure that the video component of your live photo is correctly aligned with your creative vision. The node simplifies the process of checking the video content, making it easier to make adjustments if necessary, and ultimately helps in delivering a polished final product. Its main goal is to enhance the workflow of creating live photos by providing a quick and efficient way to review the video content.

Preview Live Photo Input Parameters:

video

The video parameter is the primary input for the LivePhotoPreview node. It expects a video file that represents the dynamic component of the live photo you wish to preview. This parameter is crucial as it directly influences the content that will be displayed during the preview. The video should be in a compatible format and accessible from the specified path. The node checks if the video file exists and provides a warning if it is not found, ensuring that you are aware of any issues with the file path or availability. This parameter does not have specific minimum, maximum, or default values, but it is essential that the video file is correctly specified for the node to function properly.

Preview Live Photo Output Parameters:

The LivePhotoPreview node does not produce any direct output parameters in terms of data or files. Instead, its primary function is to facilitate the preview of the video content, which is an interactive process rather than a data output. The node returns a dictionary with a key "ui" that contains the video path, indicating that the video is ready for preview in the user interface. This output is crucial for confirming that the video file is correctly loaded and can be viewed as intended.

Preview Live Photo Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the video file path is correct and accessible to avoid any issues during the preview process.
• Use the preview function to check the alignment and quality of the video content before finalizing your live photo, allowing for any necessary adjustments.
