ComfyUI Node: LoadSRT

LoadSRT:

The LoadSRT node is designed to facilitate the loading of SubRip Subtitle (SRT) files, which are commonly used for storing subtitles and their corresponding timestamps. This node is particularly useful for AI artists who need to synchronize text with audio or video content. By leveraging this node, you can easily access and utilize subtitle data within your projects, streamlining the process of integrating textual annotations with multimedia elements. The primary function of this node is to locate and return the file path of the specified SRT file, making it readily available for further processing or analysis.

LoadSRT Input Parameters:

srt

The srt parameter specifies the name of the SRT file you wish to load. This parameter is crucial as it directs the node to the correct subtitle file within your project directory. The function of this parameter is to ensure that the node retrieves the appropriate file path for the SRT file, enabling subsequent operations that depend on subtitle data. There are no minimum, maximum, or default values for this parameter; it simply requires the exact name of the SRT file you intend to use.

LoadSRT Output Parameters:

SRT

The SRT output parameter provides the file path of the loaded SRT file. This output is essential as it allows you to access the subtitle data stored in the specified SRT file. The file path returned by this parameter can be used in various downstream processes, such as synchronizing subtitles with audio or video content, extracting text for analysis, or any other operation that requires subtitle information.

LoadSRT Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the SRT file is correctly named and placed in the appropriate directory to avoid any issues with file path retrieval.
• Use the output file path in conjunction with other nodes that require subtitle data to create a seamless workflow for multimedia projects.

LoadSRT Common Errors and Solutions:

Invalid SRT file: <srt>

• Explanation: This error occurs when the specified SRT file does not exist in the expected directory.
• Solution: Verify that the SRT file name is correct and that the file is located in the appropriate directory. Ensure there are no typos in the file name.

File path retrieval failed

• Explanation: This error indicates that the node was unable to retrieve the file path for the specified SRT file.
• Solution: Check the directory structure and ensure that the folder paths are correctly set up. Confirm that the SRT file is accessible and not restricted by permissions.
