ComfyUI Node: 🚩 VAE Selector

🚩 VAE Selector:

The VAESelector node is designed to help you easily query and select from a list of all the Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) available in ComfyUI. This node simplifies the process of choosing a VAE model, which can then be used in subsequent nodes for tasks such as encoding and decoding images. By providing a straightforward interface to access and select VAEs, the VAESelector node enhances your workflow efficiency, allowing you to focus more on creative aspects rather than technical configurations. Whether you need a single VAE for a specific task or a comprehensive list of all available VAEs for further processing, this node offers the flexibility to meet your needs.

🚩 VAE Selector Input Parameters:

vae

This parameter allows you to select from a list of available VAEs. The list is sorted alphabetically and includes additional options like "taesd" and "taesdxl". Selecting a specific VAE from this list will enable you to use it in subsequent nodes for encoding or decoding tasks. The available options are dynamically generated based on the VAEs present in your system.

run_after

This is an optional input parameter that ensures the VAESelector node executes after the node it is connected to. It is primarily used to control the execution order in complex workflows. By connecting this input to another node, you can guarantee that the VAESelector will run only after the specified node has completed its execution. This parameter does not affect the output of the VAESelector node but is useful for managing dependencies in your workflow.

🚩 VAE Selector Output Parameters:

VAE Name

This output parameter provides the name of the selected VAE or a list of all available VAEs. The output can be used as an input to other nodes that require a VAE model, such as encoding or decoding nodes. If you have selected a specific VAE, this output will contain its name; otherwise, it will provide a comprehensive list of all available VAEs for further processing.

🚩 VAE Selector Usage Tips:

• To ensure the VAESelector node runs after a specific node, use the run_after input to connect it to the desired node.
• Use the VAESelector node to quickly switch between different VAEs in your workflow, making it easier to experiment with various models and find the best one for your needs.

🚩 VAE Selector Common Errors and Solutions:

"VAE not found in the list"

• Explanation: This error occurs when the selected VAE is not available in the list of VAEs.
• Solution: Ensure that the VAE you are trying to select is correctly installed and available in the system. You can check the list of available VAEs to confirm.

"Execution order issue"

• Explanation: This error occurs when the run_after parameter is not correctly set, causing execution order problems.
• Solution: Verify that the run_after input is correctly connected to the node you want to execute before the VAESelector node. This will ensure proper execution order in your workflow.
