ComfyUI Node: Parallax Motion Camera Scheduler Extractor

Parallax Motion Camera Scheduler Extractor:

The SaltLayerExtractor node is designed to facilitate the extraction of specific animation data from a list of layers, particularly useful in the context of parallax motion scheduling. This node allows you to select a specific layer from a list of animation layers and extract its zoom, x, and y values over time. This can be particularly beneficial for creating smooth and dynamic animations where different layers move at varying speeds and directions, enhancing the depth and realism of the visual experience. By isolating and retrieving these values, you can fine-tune the motion of individual layers, ensuring precise control over the animation's parallax effect.

Parallax Motion Camera Scheduler Extractor Input Parameters:

float_layers

This parameter expects a list of animation layers, where each layer is represented as a list of frames. Each frame within a layer should contain three values: zoom, x, and y. The float_layers parameter is crucial as it provides the raw data from which the node will extract the specific values for the selected layer. There are no specific minimum or maximum values for this parameter, but it should be a well-structured list to ensure accurate extraction.

layer_index

The layer_index parameter is an integer that specifies which layer from the float_layers list should be processed. The default value is 0, meaning the first layer will be selected by default. The minimum value is 0, and there is no explicit maximum value, but it should be within the range of the available layers in the float_layers list. This parameter is essential for targeting the correct layer for data extraction.

Parallax Motion Camera Scheduler Extractor Output Parameters:

zoom_schedule_list

This output parameter provides a list of zoom values extracted from the selected layer. Each value corresponds to the zoom level at a specific frame, allowing you to understand and manipulate the zoom behavior of the layer over time.

x_schedule_list

The x_schedule_list output parameter contains a list of x-coordinate values extracted from the selected layer. These values represent the horizontal position of the layer at each frame, which is crucial for controlling the horizontal movement in the animation.

y_schedule_list

The y_schedule_list output parameter offers a list of y-coordinate values extracted from the selected layer. These values indicate the vertical position of the layer at each frame, enabling you to manage the vertical movement in the animation.

Parallax Motion Camera Scheduler Extractor Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the float_layers parameter is a well-structured list with each frame containing three values (zoom, x, y) to avoid errors during extraction.
• Use the layer_index parameter to target different layers and experiment with their individual motion settings to achieve the desired parallax effect.
• Combine the extracted zoom, x, and y values with other animation tools to create complex and dynamic motion sequences.

Parallax Motion Camera Scheduler Extractor Common Errors and Solutions:

Layer index out of range.

• Explanation: This error occurs when the layer_index parameter is set to a value that exceeds the number of available layers in the float_layers list.
• Solution: Ensure that the layer_index is within the valid range of the float_layers list. Check the length of the float_layers list and adjust the layer_index accordingly.
