ComfyUI Node: DynamicDelayByText ♾️Mixlab

DynamicDelayByText ♾️Mixlab:

The DynamicDelayProcessor is a versatile node designed to introduce a dynamic delay in your workflow based on specific parameters. This node is particularly useful when you need to synchronize processes or introduce a controlled pause in your operations. By leveraging text-based input and calculating delay times dynamically, it ensures that your tasks are executed with precise timing. This can be especially beneficial in scenarios where timing is crucial, such as in multimedia processing or sequential task execution. The DynamicDelayProcessor enhances your workflow by providing a flexible and programmable delay mechanism, allowing for more complex and timed operations without manual intervention.

DynamicDelayByText ♾️Mixlab Input Parameters:

delay_seconds

This parameter specifies the base delay time in seconds. It sets the initial delay duration before any additional calculations are applied. The value should be a positive number, and it serves as the foundation for the total delay time. For example, if you set delay_seconds to 5, the node will introduce a base delay of 5 seconds.

delay_by_text

This parameter allows you to input a string of text that will be used to calculate an additional delay based on the length of the text. If provided, the node will analyze the text and add extra delay time proportional to the number of words and the words_per_seconds parameter. This is useful for creating delays that are dependent on the length of textual content.

words_per_seconds

This parameter defines the rate at which words are processed per second. It is used in conjunction with the delay_by_text parameter to calculate the additional delay time. For instance, if words_per_seconds is set to 2 and the delay_by_text contains 10 words, an additional delay of 5 seconds will be added. This parameter must be a positive number.

replace_output

This parameter determines the output behavior of the node. If set to "enable", the node will output a specific value (replace_value) after the delay. If set to any other value, the node will output the original input. This allows for flexible control over the node's output based on the delay execution.

replace_value

This parameter specifies the value to be output if replace_output is set to "enable". It allows you to define a custom output value that will be returned after the delay. This can be useful for signaling the completion of the delay or for triggering subsequent actions in your workflow.

DynamicDelayByText ♾️Mixlab Output Parameters:

delay_output

The output of the DynamicDelayProcessor is determined by the replace_output parameter. If replace_output is set to "enable", the node will output the replace_value. Otherwise, it will output the original input. This flexible output mechanism allows you to control the flow of your workflow based on the delay execution.

DynamicDelayByText ♾️Mixlab Usage Tips:

• Use the delay_seconds parameter to set a base delay time for simple delay requirements.
• Combine delay_by_text and words_per_seconds to create dynamic delays based on the length of textual content, which can be useful for synchronizing with text processing tasks.
• Utilize the replace_output and replace_value parameters to control the node's output and signal the completion of the delay to other parts of your workflow.
