How to Batch Load Videos in Comfy UI

A while ago, I published a Comfy UI workflow to upscale and increase the frame rate of a video. When you have a lot of videos to process, it becomes very tedious. I spent some time figuring out how to batch load the videos to reduce manual input. Please read on to learn how to do this.

Requirements

• A working ComfyUI installation – https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI
• ComfyUI Manager – https://github.com/ltdrdata/ComfyUI-Manager
• Nvidia GPU  – 4070, 4080, 4090

Installation

• Start ComfyUI.
• Click on the image below and drag and drop the full-size image to the ComfyUI canvas.
  
• Click on Manager on the ComfyUI windows.

  

• Click on Install Missing Custom Nodes and install any missing nodes. Close the window when the installation is done.

  

• Click on Update All to update ComfyUI and the nodes.

  

• Close ComfyUI and restart it.

Example

• The usage for the upscaling and increasing frame rate has been covered in this post. Please refer to it for details.
• Enter the directory where you keep the videos and the file names with wild card. In this case, I have mp4 files in D:\test, so I entered D:\test\*.mp4 .

  

• Check the Extra options under Queue Prompt and enter the number of videos files you want to process in Batch count. I have two videos in that directory, so I entered 2 in the box

  

• Finally click on Queue Prompt to start. That’s it. It took me serveral hours to figure this out. Hopefully, this is helpful to you.
