ComfyUI Node: CR Cycle Images Simple (Legacy)

CR Cycle Images Simple (Legacy):

The CR Cycle Images Simple node is designed to facilitate the sequential cycling of multiple images in an animation or visual sequence. This node allows you to input a series of images and cycle through them based on specified parameters such as frame interval and the number of loops. It is particularly useful for creating dynamic visual effects or animations where images need to change in a controlled and repetitive manner. By leveraging this node, you can easily manage and automate the display of images in a sequence, enhancing the visual storytelling or artistic expression in your projects.

CR Cycle Images Simple (Legacy) Input Parameters:

mode

This parameter determines the cycling mode of the images. The available option is "Sequential," which cycles through the images in the order they are provided. This mode ensures that images are displayed one after the other in a loop, creating a smooth and continuous animation.

frame_interval

This parameter specifies the number of frames to display each image before moving to the next one. A lower value results in faster cycling, while a higher value slows down the transition between images. This allows you to control the pacing of your animation.

loops

This parameter defines the number of times the entire sequence of images should be repeated. Increasing the number of loops will extend the duration of the animation by repeating the image sequence multiple times.

current_frame

This parameter indicates the current frame number in the animation. It is used to calculate which image should be displayed at any given time based on the frame interval and the total number of images.

image_1, image_2, image_3, image_4, image_5

These parameters allow you to input up to five individual images to be included in the cycling sequence. Each image can be specified separately, and the node will cycle through them in the order they are provided.

image_list_simple

This parameter allows you to input a list of images in a simplified manner. If provided, this list will be used in conjunction with the individual image parameters to create the cycling sequence. This is useful for managing a larger number of images more efficiently.

CR Cycle Images Simple (Legacy) Output Parameters:

current_image_item

This output parameter provides the image that should be displayed at the current frame based on the cycling logic. It is the result of the calculations involving the frame interval, loops, and current frame, ensuring the correct image is shown at the right time.

show_help

This output parameter provides a URL to the help documentation for the CR Cycle Images Simple node. It is a useful resource for understanding the node's functionality and troubleshooting any issues that may arise.

CR Cycle Images Simple (Legacy) Usage Tips:

• To create a smooth animation, ensure that the frame_interval is set appropriately based on the desired speed of the image transitions.
• Use the loops parameter to extend the duration of your animation without manually duplicating the image sequence.
• Combine individual image inputs with the image_list_simple parameter to manage larger sets of images more efficiently.

CR Cycle Images Simple (Legacy) Common Errors and Solutions:

"IndexError: list index out of range"

• Explanation: This error occurs when the current frame calculation exceeds the number of available images in the sequence.
• Solution: Ensure that the frame_interval and loops parameters are set correctly and that there are enough images provided to cover the entire animation duration.

"TypeError: unsupported operand type(s)"

• Explanation: This error may occur if the input parameters are not provided in the correct format or if there is a mismatch in data types.
• Solution: Verify that all input parameters are correctly specified and that images are provided in the expected format.

"ValueError: invalid literal for int()"

• Explanation: This error can happen if non-integer values are provided for parameters that expect integers, such as frame_interval or loops.
• Solution: Double-check that all numerical input parameters are provided as integers and within the valid range.
