ComfyUI Node: ⌛ Frame Count Calculator

Frame Count Calculator [Dream]:

The Frame Count Calculator [Dream] node is designed to help you calculate the total number of frames required for an animation based on a specified duration and frame rate. This node is particularly useful for animators and AI artists who need to determine the exact number of frames to generate for a given time period, ensuring smooth and accurate animations. By inputting the desired hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds, and frames per second, the node computes the total frame count, making it easier to plan and execute animation projects with precision.

Frame Count Calculator [Dream] Input Parameters:

hours

This parameter specifies the number of hours in the duration for which you want to calculate the total frames. It accepts integer values ranging from 0 to 23, with a default value of 0. Adjusting this parameter will impact the total frame count proportionally to the number of hours specified.

minutes

This parameter specifies the number of minutes in the duration for which you want to calculate the total frames. It accepts integer values ranging from 0 to 59, with a default value of 0. Adjusting this parameter will impact the total frame count proportionally to the number of minutes specified.

seconds

This parameter specifies the number of seconds in the duration for which you want to calculate the total frames. It accepts integer values ranging from 0 to 59, with a default value of 10. Adjusting this parameter will impact the total frame count proportionally to the number of seconds specified.

milliseconds

This parameter specifies the number of milliseconds in the duration for which you want to calculate the total frames. It accepts integer values ranging from 0 to 59, with a default value of 0. Adjusting this parameter will impact the total frame count proportionally to the number of milliseconds specified.

frames_per_second

This parameter specifies the frame rate, or the number of frames per second, for the animation. It accepts integer values with a minimum of 1 and a default value of 30. Adjusting this parameter will impact the total frame count based on the specified frame rate.

Frame Count Calculator [Dream] Output Parameters:

TOTAL

This output parameter provides the total number of frames calculated based on the input duration and frame rate. It returns an integer value representing the total frames required for the specified animation duration, allowing you to plan and generate the exact number of frames needed for your project.

Frame Count Calculator [Dream] Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the sum of hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds accurately represents the desired duration of your animation to get an accurate frame count.
• Adjust the frames_per_second parameter to match the frame rate of your animation project for consistent and smooth playback.
• Use this node in conjunction with other animation nodes to streamline the process of creating and managing frame-based animations.

Frame Count Calculator [Dream] Common Errors and Solutions:

Invalid input range

• Explanation: One or more input parameters are outside the acceptable range (e.g., minutes greater than 59).
• Solution: Ensure that all input parameters are within their specified ranges: hours (0-23), minutes (0-59), seconds (0-59), milliseconds (0-59), and frames_per_second (minimum 1).

Negative frame count

• Explanation: The calculated frame count is negative, which can occur if the input parameters are incorrectly set.
• Solution: Double-check the input values to ensure they represent a positive duration and frame rate. Adjust the parameters as needed to achieve a positive frame count.
