ComfyUI Node: ⚋ Frame Counter Info

Frame Counter Info [Dream]:

The Frame Counter Info [Dream] node is designed to provide detailed information about the current state of an animation frame counter. This node is particularly useful for AI artists working on animation projects, as it offers insights into the progress and timing of the animation sequence. By utilizing this node, you can easily track the number of frames completed, determine if you are at the first or last frame, and calculate the elapsed, remaining, and total time in seconds. Additionally, it provides a completion percentage, helping you to monitor the progress of your animation efficiently. This node is essential for managing and optimizing animation workflows, ensuring that you have precise control over the timing and sequencing of your frames.

Frame Counter Info [Dream] Input Parameters:

frame_counter

The frame_counter parameter is a required input that represents the current state of the frame counter. It is an instance of the FrameCounter class, which keeps track of the current frame, total frames, and frames per second. This parameter is crucial for the node to calculate and provide detailed information about the animation's progress and timing.

Frame Counter Info [Dream] Output Parameters:

frames_completed

The frames_completed output parameter indicates the number of frames that have been completed so far. This value helps you understand how much of the animation has been processed.

total_frames

The total_frames output parameter represents the total number of frames in the animation sequence. This value is essential for understanding the overall length of the animation.

first_frame

The first_frame output parameter is a boolean value that indicates whether the current frame is the first frame of the animation. This information is useful for initializing or resetting certain animation parameters at the start.

last_frame

The last_frame output parameter is a boolean value that indicates whether the current frame is the last frame of the animation. This information is crucial for finalizing or wrapping up the animation process.

elapsed_seconds

The elapsed_seconds output parameter provides the elapsed time in seconds since the start of the animation. This value helps you track the duration of the animation that has already been processed.

remaining_seconds

The remaining_seconds output parameter indicates the remaining time in seconds until the animation is complete. This value is useful for estimating how much time is left to finish the animation.

total_seconds

The total_seconds output parameter represents the total duration of the animation in seconds. This value is essential for understanding the overall time span of the animation.

completion

The completion output parameter provides the completion percentage of the animation. This value is calculated as the ratio of the current frame to the total frames, giving you a clear indication of the progress made.

Frame Counter Info [Dream] Usage Tips:

• Use the frames_completed and total_frames outputs to monitor the progress of your animation and make adjustments as needed.
• Utilize the elapsed_seconds and remaining_seconds outputs to manage the timing of your animation and ensure it fits within your desired duration.
• Leverage the first_frame and last_frame outputs to trigger specific actions or events at the start and end of your animation sequence.
• Keep an eye on the completion output to get a quick overview of how much of the animation has been completed and how much is left.

Frame Counter Info [Dream] Common Errors and Solutions:

FrameCounter instance not provided

• Explanation: The frame_counter parameter is missing or not correctly passed to the node.
• Solution: Ensure that you provide a valid FrameCounter instance as the input parameter to the node.

Invalid frame counter values

• Explanation: The FrameCounter instance contains invalid values, such as negative frame numbers or zero total frames.
• Solution: Verify that the FrameCounter instance has valid values, with the current frame being non-negative and the total frames being greater than zero.

Division by zero error

• Explanation: The frames_per_second value in the FrameCounter instance is set to zero, causing a division by zero error when calculating time-related outputs.
• Solution: Ensure that the frames_per_second value in the FrameCounter instance is set to a positive number greater than zero.
