LoadVideo

What is it?

The LoadVideo is a simple building block that lets you bring a video into your workflow. Think of it as picking up a video file so you can use it in your project.

When would I use it?

Use this node when you want to:

  • Use a video that was created by another node
  • Pass a video to other nodes in your workflow
  • Display a video as part of your project
  • Load video files from disk into your workflow

How to use it

Basic Setup

  1. Add the LoadVideo to your workflow
  2. Connect it to a source of videos or use the file browser to select a video file

Parameters

  • video: The video to load (this can be connected to an output from another node or loaded from a file)

Outputs

  • video: The loaded video that can be used by other nodes in your flow

Example

Imagine you want to load a video file from your computer:

  1. Add a LoadVideo node to your workflow
  2. Click the file browser icon to select a video file from your computer
  3. The LoadVideo will make the video available to use in the rest of your workflow

Important Notes

  • The LoadVideo simply passes the video through - it doesn't change the video itself
  • You can click the file browser icon to select a video from your computer
  • The video preview can be expanded by clicking the expander icon
  • Supports common video formats (mp4, avi, mov, etc.)

Common Issues

  • No Video Showing: Make sure you've properly connected a video source to this node or selected a file
  • Unsupported Format: Check that your video file is in a supported format
