ComfyUI Node: Duplicate Latent Batch 🎥🅥🅗🅢

Duplicate Latent Batch 🎥🅥🅗🅢:

The VHS_DuplicateLatents node is designed to help you efficiently duplicate a batch of latent representations in your AI art projects. This node is particularly useful when you need to replicate the same latent data multiple times, which can be beneficial for various tasks such as data augmentation, batch processing, or creating multiple variations of the same input. By duplicating the latent batch, you can ensure consistency across different operations and streamline your workflow. The node leverages the power of PyTorch to concatenate the duplicated latents, making the process both efficient and seamless.

Duplicate Latent Batch 🎥🅥🅗🅢 Input Parameters:

latents

This parameter represents the latent data that you want to duplicate. Latents are essentially the encoded representations of your input data, which can be images, audio, or other forms of media. The latents should be provided in the form of a dictionary containing a key samples that holds the tensor data. This input is crucial as it forms the basis of the duplication process.

multiply_by

This integer parameter specifies the number of times you want to duplicate the latent batch. The default value is 1, with a minimum value of 1 and a maximum value defined by the system's capacity (BIGMAX). Adjusting this parameter allows you to control the extent of duplication, enabling you to create larger batches for more extensive processing or experimentation.

Duplicate Latent Batch 🎥🅥🅗🅢 Output Parameters:

LATENT

This output parameter provides the duplicated latent batch. The output is a dictionary similar to the input latents, but with the samples tensor concatenated multiple times as specified by the multiply_by parameter. This allows you to use the duplicated latents in subsequent nodes or processes seamlessly.

count

This integer output indicates the total number of latents in the duplicated batch. It helps you keep track of the batch size after duplication, ensuring that you have the correct number of latents for your intended operations.

Duplicate Latent Batch 🎥🅥🅗🅢 Usage Tips:

• To create a larger batch for training or testing, set the multiply_by parameter to a higher value. This can help in scenarios where you need more data without generating new samples.
• Use the duplicated latents to maintain consistency across different stages of your workflow, ensuring that the same latent representations are used for various operations.

Duplicate Latent Batch 🎥🅥🅗🅢 Common Errors and Solutions:

KeyError: 'samples'

• Explanation: This error occurs when the input latents dictionary does not contain the key samples.
• Solution: Ensure that your input latents dictionary includes the key samples with the corresponding tensor data.

RuntimeError: Sizes of tensors must match except in dimension 0

• Explanation: This error happens when the tensors in the samples key have mismatched sizes in dimensions other than the batch dimension.
• Solution: Verify that all tensors in the samples key have consistent sizes across all dimensions except the batch dimension before duplicating.

ValueError: multiply_by must be a positive integer

• Explanation: This error is raised when the multiply_by parameter is set to a non-positive integer.
• Solution: Ensure that the multiply_by parameter is set to a positive integer value, with a minimum of 1.
