ComfyUI Node: 𝄈 Frame Set Repeat

Frame Set Repeat [DVB]:

The Frame Set Repeat node is designed to duplicate a sequence of frames multiple times, creating a repeated pattern of the original frames. This node is particularly useful for generating looping animations or extending the duration of a specific sequence in your video project. By specifying the number of repetitions and the step interval between each repetition, you can control how the frames are duplicated and indexed. This node ensures that the repeated frames are seamlessly integrated into the original sequence, maintaining the framerate and overall consistency of the video.

Frame Set Repeat [DVB] Input Parameters:

frames

This parameter represents the original set of frames that you want to repeat. It is of the type FrameSet, which includes the images and their respective indices. The frames parameter is essential as it provides the base sequence that will be duplicated.

repetitions

This integer parameter determines how many times the original set of frames will be repeated. The default value is 2, with a minimum value of 1. Increasing the number of repetitions will extend the duration of the repeated sequence, creating a longer loop.

step

This integer parameter specifies the interval between each repetition of the frames. The default value is 1, with a minimum value of 1. The step value controls the indexing of the repeated frames, ensuring that they are correctly positioned in the sequence. A larger step value will create a larger gap between repetitions.

Frame Set Repeat [DVB] Output Parameters:

frames

The output parameter is a FrameSet that contains the repeated sequence of frames. This new set of frames includes the original frames and their repetitions, indexed according to the specified step interval. The output maintains the original framerate, ensuring smooth playback in your video project.

Frame Set Repeat [DVB] Usage Tips:

• To create a seamless looping animation, ensure that the original set of frames is designed to loop smoothly before using the Frame Set Repeat node.
• Experiment with different step values to achieve the desired spacing between repetitions, which can affect the visual flow of the repeated sequence.
• Use the Frame Set Repeat node in combination with other editing nodes, such as Frame Set Splitter or Frame Set Merger, to create complex and dynamic video sequences.

Frame Set Repeat [DVB] Common Errors and Solutions:

Frame set contains gaps!

• Explanation: This error occurs when the original set of frames has gaps in the indices, which can disrupt the repetition process.
• Solution: Ensure that the original frame set is continuous and does not have any missing indices before using the Frame Set Repeat node. You can use nodes like Frame Set Reindex to correct the indices.

Frame sets have different framerate

• Explanation: This error occurs when the framerate of the original frame set does not match the expected framerate for the repeated sequence.
• Solution: Verify that the framerate of the original frame set is consistent and matches the desired framerate for the repeated sequence. Adjust the framerate if necessary before using the Frame Set Repeat node.
