ComfyUI Node: 📋 CR Load Schedule From File

📋 CR Load Schedule From File:

The CR Load Schedule From File node is designed to facilitate the loading of animation schedules from external files into your project. This node is particularly useful for AI artists who need to manage complex animation timelines and want to streamline the process by importing pre-defined schedules. By leveraging this node, you can easily integrate external schedules, ensuring consistency and saving time on manual input. The primary goal of this node is to enhance workflow efficiency by allowing you to load schedules directly from files, thus enabling a more organized and automated approach to managing animation sequences.

📋 CR Load Schedule From File Input Parameters:

file_path

The file_path parameter specifies the location of the file from which the schedule will be loaded. This parameter is crucial as it directs the node to the exact file containing the schedule data. The file path should be a string representing the absolute or relative path to the file. Ensure that the path is correct and accessible to avoid errors during the loading process. There are no specific minimum or maximum values, but the path must be valid and point to a readable file.

schedule_alias

The schedule_alias parameter allows you to assign a custom alias to the loaded schedule. This can be useful for identifying and managing multiple schedules within your project. The alias should be a string that is unique and descriptive enough to differentiate it from other schedules. There are no strict constraints on the length or format, but it is recommended to use meaningful names for better organization.

current_frame

The current_frame parameter indicates the frame number at which the schedule should start. This integer value helps in synchronizing the loaded schedule with the ongoing animation timeline. The minimum value is 0, representing the start of the animation, and there is no explicit maximum value, but it should be within the range of your animation frames.

📋 CR Load Schedule From File Output Parameters:

schedule

The schedule output parameter provides the loaded schedule data. This output is essential as it contains the timeline and keyframes that will be applied to your animation. The schedule is typically represented as a list or array of keyframes, each defining specific parameters for the animation at given frames. This output allows you to seamlessly integrate the loaded schedule into your project, ensuring that the animation follows the predefined timeline.

📋 CR Load Schedule From File Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the file path provided is correct and the file is accessible to avoid loading errors.
• Use descriptive and unique aliases for schedules to easily manage and identify them within your project.
• Synchronize the current_frame parameter with your animation timeline to ensure the schedule starts at the correct frame.

📋 CR Load Schedule From File Common Errors and Solutions:

File not found

• Explanation: The specified file path does not exist or is incorrect.
• Solution: Verify the file path and ensure that the file exists at the specified location.

Invalid file format

• Explanation: The file format is not supported or the file content is not in the expected format.
• Solution: Ensure that the file is in the correct format and contains valid schedule data.

Permission denied

• Explanation: The node does not have the necessary permissions to read the file.
• Solution: Check the file permissions and ensure that the node has read access to the file.

Schedule alias conflict

• Explanation: The provided schedule alias is already in use.
• Solution: Use a unique alias for the new schedule to avoid conflicts with existing schedules.
