DisplayVideo

What is it?

The DisplayVideo node simply displays video content in your workflow.

When would I use it?

Use the DisplayVideo node when:

  • You need to display video results or information in your workflow
  • You want to show video output from previous processing steps
  • You need a placeholder for video content that will be updated during workflow execution
  • You want to create readable labels or descriptions within your workflow
  • You need to visualize video data at specific points in your process

How to use it

Basic Setup

  1. Add a DisplayVideo node to your workflow
  2. Set the initial video value if desired
  3. Connect inputs to the video parameter or manually select a video
  4. Connect the video output to other nodes that require video input

Parameters

  • video: The video content to display (supports VideoArtifact and VideoUrlArtifact)

Outputs

  • video: The same video content, available as output to connect to other nodes

Example

Imagine you're building a workflow that processes and displays video information:

  1. Add a DisplayVideo node to your workflow
  2. Connect the output from a LoadVideo node to the DisplayVideo node's video parameter
  3. When the workflow runs, the video content will be displayed in the node

Important Notes

  • The DisplayVideo node is for visualization and doesn't modify the video content
  • The node passes through video exactly as received, without any processing or formatting
  • Supports common video formats (mp4, avi, mov, etc.)
  • The video player controls allow you to play, pause, and scrub through the video

Common Issues

  • No Video Showing: Make sure you've properly connected a video source to this node
  • Video Won't Play: Check that your video file is in a supported format and not corrupted
