ComfyUI Node: Batch Value Schedule 📅🅕🅝

Batch Value Schedule 📅🅕🅝:

The BatchValueSchedule node is designed to facilitate the batch processing of value schedules over a specified number of frames. This node is particularly useful for AI artists who need to animate or interpolate values across multiple frames in a seamless and automated manner. By inputting a series of keyframes and defining the maximum number of frames, the node calculates the intermediate values, ensuring smooth transitions and consistent animations. This can be especially beneficial for creating complex animations or effects that require precise control over value changes across a timeline. The node also offers an option to print the output for debugging or verification purposes.

Batch Value Schedule 📅🅕🅝 Input Parameters:

text

This parameter accepts a string input that contains the keyframes and their corresponding values. The text should be formatted in a way that the node can parse and interpret to generate the intermediate values. The input is multiline and has a default value that can be customized. This parameter is crucial as it defines the key points of the animation or value changes.

max_frames

This integer parameter sets the maximum number of frames over which the values will be interpolated. It has a default value of 120, with a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 999999. This parameter determines the length of the animation and how finely the values will be interpolated between the keyframes.

print_output

This boolean parameter controls whether the output values are printed to the console. It has a default value of False. Enabling this option can be useful for debugging or verifying the calculated values at each frame.

Batch Value Schedule 📅🅕🅝 Output Parameters:

FLOAT

This output provides the interpolated values as floating-point numbers for each frame. These values represent the smooth transitions between the keyframes defined in the input text, ensuring a seamless animation.

INT

This output provides the interpolated values as integers for each frame. These values are the integer equivalents of the floating-point outputs, which can be useful for scenarios where integer values are required.

Batch Value Schedule 📅🅕🅝 Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the text input is correctly formatted with keyframes and values to avoid parsing errors.
• Adjust the max_frames parameter according to the desired length and granularity of your animation.
• Use the print_output option to verify the interpolated values during the initial setup to ensure they meet your expectations.

Batch Value Schedule 📅🅕🅝 Common Errors and Solutions:

Invalid keyframe format

• Explanation: The text input contains keyframes that are not correctly formatted.
• Solution: Double-check the keyframe format in the text input and ensure it follows the required structure.

max_frames out of range

• Explanation: The max_frames parameter is set to a value outside the allowed range.
• Solution: Set the max_frames parameter to a value between 1 and 999999.

No output generated

• Explanation: The node did not produce any output, possibly due to incorrect input parameters.
• Solution: Verify all input parameters, especially the text input and max_frames, and ensure they are correctly set. Enable print_output to debug the issue.
