ComfyUI Node: SAVE OUTPUT (JOV) 💾

SAVE OUTPUT (JOV) 💾:

The SAVE OUTPUT (JOV) 💾 node is designed to facilitate the saving of images or animations to your disk. It supports a variety of output formats, including GIF and GIFSKI, making it versatile for different types of media. This node allows you to specify the output directory, filename prefix, image quality, frame rate, and other parameters, providing flexibility in how your files are saved. Additionally, it offers options to either overwrite existing files or generate unique filenames to avoid conflicts. The node outputs the saved images or animations as a tensor, ensuring that the data is preserved in a format that can be easily utilized in subsequent processes.

SAVE OUTPUT (JOV) 💾 Input Parameters:

output_directory

The directory where the output files will be saved. This parameter allows you to organize your saved files in a specific location on your disk. If not specified, the default directory will be used. Ensure that the directory path is valid and accessible to avoid errors during the saving process.

filename_prefix

A prefix to be added to the filenames of the saved files. This helps in identifying and organizing the output files, especially when saving multiple files. If not specified, a default prefix will be used. The prefix should be a valid string without special characters that are not allowed in filenames.

image_quality

Defines the quality of the saved images. This parameter can range from 1 (lowest quality) to 100 (highest quality). Higher values result in better image quality but larger file sizes. Adjust this parameter based on your requirements for image clarity and file size.

frame_rate

Specifies the frame rate for animations. This parameter determines how many frames per second (fps) the animation will have. A higher frame rate results in smoother animations but larger file sizes. Typical values range from 15 to 60 fps, depending on the desired smoothness of the animation.

overwrite_existing

A boolean parameter that determines whether existing files with the same name should be overwritten. If set to True, existing files will be replaced. If set to False, unique filenames will be generated to avoid conflicts. This parameter helps in managing file versions and preventing accidental data loss.

SAVE OUTPUT (JOV) 💾 Output Parameters:

saved_tensor

The tensor representation of the saved images or animations. This output ensures that the saved data is preserved in a format that can be easily utilized in subsequent processes. The tensor contains all the necessary information about the saved files, including their paths and metadata.

SAVE OUTPUT (JOV) 💾 Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the output directory is valid and accessible to avoid errors during the saving process.
• Use a meaningful filename prefix to easily identify and organize your saved files.
• Adjust the image quality and frame rate parameters based on your requirements for image clarity and animation smoothness.
• Set the overwrite_existing parameter to False if you want to avoid accidentally overwriting existing files.

SAVE OUTPUT (JOV) 💾 Common Errors and Solutions:

"Invalid output directory"

• Explanation: The specified output directory is not valid or accessible.
• Solution: Verify that the directory path is correct and that you have the necessary permissions to write to the directory.

"Filename prefix contains invalid characters"

• Explanation: The filename prefix contains special characters that are not allowed in filenames.
• Solution: Use a valid string for the filename prefix, avoiding special characters such as \ / : * ? " < > |.

"Image quality out of range"

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

"Frame rate out of range"

• Explanation: The frame rate parameter is set outside the typical range of 15 to 60 fps.
• Solution: Adjust the frame rate parameter to a value within the typical range of 15 to 60 fps.

"File overwrite conflict"

• Explanation: An existing file with the same name already exists, and overwrite_existing is set to False.
• Solution: Either set overwrite_existing to True to overwrite the existing file or ensure that the filename prefix generates unique filenames.
