ComfyUI Node: CR Cycle Text Simple (Legacy)

CR Cycle Text Simple (Legacy):

The CR Cycle Text Simple node is designed to sequentially cycle through a list of text strings over a series of frames in an animation. This node is particularly useful for creating dynamic text effects in animations, where different text strings need to be displayed at specific intervals. By specifying a list of text strings and configuring the cycling parameters, you can control how and when each text string appears during the animation. This node simplifies the process of managing text transitions, making it easier to create engaging and visually appealing animations.

CR Cycle Text Simple (Legacy) Input Parameters:

mode

The mode parameter determines the cycling method for the text strings. The available option is "Sequential", which cycles through the text strings in the order they are provided. This parameter is crucial for defining how the text strings are displayed over the frames.

frame_interval

The frame_interval parameter specifies the number of frames to display each text string before moving to the next one. This parameter controls the duration each text string remains visible, impacting the pacing of the text transitions. The value should be a positive integer.

loops

The loops parameter defines how many times the entire list of text strings should be repeated. This parameter allows you to extend the cycling duration by repeating the text sequence multiple times. The value should be a positive integer, with a default value of 1.

current_frame

The current_frame parameter indicates the current frame number in the animation. This parameter is used to calculate which text string should be displayed based on the frame_interval and loops settings. The value should be a non-negative integer.

text_1, text_2, text_3, text_4, text_5

These parameters allow you to input up to five individual text strings to be cycled through. Each text parameter can hold a different string, and they will be cycled in the order they are provided. If a text parameter is left empty, it will be ignored in the cycling process.

text_list_simple

The text_list_simple parameter is an optional list of additional text strings to be included in the cycling sequence. This parameter allows for more flexibility by enabling you to provide a list of text strings in addition to the individual text parameters. If provided, these text strings will be appended to the text sequence.

CR Cycle Text Simple (Legacy) Output Parameters:

current_text_item

The current_text_item output parameter provides the text string that should be displayed for the current frame based on the cycling configuration. This output is crucial for rendering the correct text string at the right time in the animation.

show_help

The show_help output parameter provides a URL to the documentation or help page for the CR Cycle Text Simple node. This output is useful for users who need additional information or guidance on how to use the node effectively.

CR Cycle Text Simple (Legacy) Usage Tips:

• To create smooth text transitions, ensure that the frame_interval is set to a value that matches the desired pacing of your animation.
• Use the loops parameter to extend the duration of the text cycling without manually duplicating the text strings.
• Combine individual text parameters with the text_list_simple parameter to create more complex and varied text sequences.

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

IndexError: list index out of range

• Explanation: This error occurs when the current_frame and frame_interval settings result in an index that exceeds the length of the text list.
• Solution: Ensure that the frame_interval and loops parameters are set correctly and that the text list contains enough items to cover the entire animation duration.

ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10

• Explanation: This error occurs if non-integer values are provided for parameters that require integer inputs, such as frame_interval, loops, or current_frame.
• Solution: Double-check that all integer parameters are provided with valid integer values.
