ComfyUI Node: 🌈 Preset Color Animations

🌈 Preset Color Animations:

The Preset Color Animations node is designed to generate a sequence of colors based on predefined color presets, creating smooth transitions over a specified duration. This node is particularly useful for AI artists looking to add dynamic and visually appealing color animations to their projects without needing to manually define each color step. By selecting from a variety of color presets such as "rainbow," "sunset," "grey," and more, you can easily create animations that enhance the visual storytelling of your work. The node interpolates between colors in the chosen preset, ensuring a seamless transition that can be reset or looped based on your preferences. This functionality is ideal for applications in video editing, graphic design, and any creative project that benefits from animated color changes.

🌈 Preset Color Animations Input Parameters:

color_preset

This parameter allows you to select the color scheme for your animation from a predefined list of options. The available presets include "rainbow," "sunset," "grey," "ocean," "forest," "fire," "sky," and "earth." Each preset consists of a series of colors that the node will interpolate between over the duration of the animation. The default value is "rainbow," which provides a vibrant and diverse color range. Selecting a different preset will change the overall mood and aesthetic of the animation.

animation_duration

This parameter specifies the length of the animation in frames. It determines how long the color transition will take from start to finish. The value is an integer, with a default of 30 frames. You can adjust this value to control the speed of the color transition; a higher value will result in a slower, more gradual change, while a lower value will create a faster transition. The step value for this parameter is 1, allowing for precise control over the duration.

animation_reset

This parameter defines how the animation should reset once it reaches the end of the duration. The options include "word," "line," "never," "looped," and "pingpong." The default value is "word." Choosing "looped" will cause the animation to start over from the beginning once it finishes, creating a continuous loop. "Pingpong" will reverse the animation direction at the end, creating a back-and-forth effect. The other options provide different reset behaviors based on specific conditions, such as resetting at the end of a word or line.

🌈 Preset Color Animations Output Parameters:

scheduled_colors

This output parameter provides the generated color schedule as a string. The schedule consists of a sequence of colors interpolated from the selected preset over the specified duration. Each entry in the schedule includes the frame number and the corresponding color value, allowing you to apply the color changes to your project in a structured manner. This output is essential for integrating the color animation into your creative workflow, ensuring that the colors change smoothly and according to your specifications.

🌈 Preset Color Animations Usage Tips:

• Experiment with different color presets to find the one that best matches the mood and theme of your project.
• Adjust the animation duration to control the speed of the color transition, ensuring it aligns with the pacing of your visual content.
• Use the "looped" or "pingpong" reset options for continuous or back-and-forth animations, adding dynamic movement to your designs.

🌈 Preset Color Animations Common Errors and Solutions:

Invalid color preset selected

• Explanation: The selected color preset is not recognized by the node.
• Solution: Ensure that the color preset is one of the predefined options: "rainbow," "sunset," "grey," "ocean," "forest," "fire," "sky," or "earth."

Animation duration is not an integer

• Explanation: The animation duration must be specified as an integer value.
• Solution: Enter a whole number for the animation duration to ensure proper execution.

Animation reset option not recognized

• Explanation: The selected animation reset option is not valid.
• Solution: Choose from the available reset options: "word," "line," "never," "looped," or "pingpong."
