ComfyUI Node: EXPORT (JOV) 📽

EXPORT (JOV) 📽:

The Export node is designed to save images or animations to disk, supporting various output formats such as GIF and GIFSKI. This node allows you to specify the output directory, filename prefix, image quality, frame rate, and other parameters, providing flexibility in how your work is saved. Additionally, it offers options to overwrite existing files or generate unique filenames to avoid conflicts. The node outputs the saved images or animation as a tensor, making it a versatile tool for preserving your creative work in a structured and organized manner.

EXPORT (JOV) 📽 Input Parameters:

output_directory

This parameter specifies the directory where the exported files will be saved. It is crucial to set this to a valid path to ensure your files are stored in the desired location. If the directory does not exist, the node may attempt to create it.

filename_prefix

The filename prefix is used to prepend a specific string to the names of the exported files. This helps in organizing and identifying files, especially when exporting multiple images or animations. For example, setting this to "project1_" will result in filenames like "project1_image1.gif".

image_quality

This parameter controls the quality of the exported images. Higher values result in better quality but larger file sizes, while lower values reduce the file size at the cost of image quality. The range typically goes from 1 (lowest quality) to 100 (highest quality), with a default value around 75.

frame_rate

The frame rate determines the number of frames per second for animations. A higher frame rate results in smoother animations but larger file sizes. Common values range from 15 to 60 frames per second, with 24 fps being a standard for many animations.

overwrite_existing

This boolean parameter decides whether to overwrite existing files with the same name. If set to true, existing files will be replaced. If false, the node will generate unique filenames to avoid conflicts, typically by appending a number to the filename.

generate_unique_filenames

When enabled, this parameter ensures that each exported file has a unique name, preventing any overwriting of existing files. This is particularly useful when exporting multiple files in a batch process.

EXPORT (JOV) 📽 Output Parameters:

saved_tensor

The saved_tensor output is a tensor representation of the saved images or animation. This allows for further processing or analysis within the node-based system, ensuring that the exported content can be seamlessly integrated into subsequent workflows.

EXPORT (JOV) 📽 Usage Tips:

• Ensure the output directory is correctly set to avoid any issues with file saving.
• Use a meaningful filename prefix to keep your exported files organized and easily identifiable.
• Adjust the image quality and frame rate according to your needs, balancing between file size and visual fidelity.
• Enable generate_unique_filenames to prevent accidental overwriting of important files.

EXPORT (JOV) 📽 Common Errors and Solutions:

"Invalid output directory"

• Explanation: The specified output directory does not exist or cannot be created.
• Solution: Verify the path and ensure you have the necessary permissions to write to the directory.

"File already exists"

• Explanation: A file with the same name already exists in the output directory.
• Solution: Enable the overwrite_existing parameter or generate_unique_filenames to avoid conflicts.

"Unsupported image quality value"

• Explanation: The image quality parameter is set outside the acceptable range.
• Solution: Set the image quality to a value between 1 and 100.

"Invalid frame rate"

• Explanation: The frame rate is set to a non-numeric value or outside the typical range.
• Solution: Ensure the frame rate is a numeric value within the range of 15 to 60 fps.
