ComfyUI Node: PreViewGIF

PreViewGIF:

The PreViewGIF node is designed to facilitate the previewing of GIF files within the AIFSH_DiffMorpher category. This node is particularly useful for AI artists who need to quickly load and view GIF animations as part of their creative workflow. By providing a straightforward method to load GIF files, PreViewGIF helps streamline the process of integrating animated content into your projects. The primary function of this node is to extract and display the GIF file's name and its directory path, making it easier to manage and organize your animation assets.

PreViewGIF Input Parameters:

gif

The gif parameter is the only required input for the PreViewGIF node. This parameter expects a GIF file, which is an animated image format commonly used for short animations and looping graphics. When you provide a GIF file, the node will process it to extract the file name and the directory path where the GIF is located. This information is then used to generate a preview of the GIF. There are no specific minimum, maximum, or default values for this parameter, but it must be a valid GIF file.

PreViewGIF Output Parameters:

The PreViewGIF node does not produce any direct output parameters. Instead, it generates a user interface element that displays the name and directory path of the provided GIF file. This UI element helps you quickly identify and manage your GIF files within the AIFSH_DiffMorpher environment.

PreViewGIF Usage Tips:

• Use the PreViewGIF node to quickly preview and organize multiple GIF files, making it easier to select the right animation for your project.
• Combine PreViewGIF with other nodes in the AIFSH_DiffMorpher category to create complex animations and visual effects.
