Video toolkit: video editing simplified

Video toolkit

The Video Toolkit Node provides several tools to manipulate videos. Each task is designed to make video editing and format conversions easier.

Tasks

Convert Input to MP4

Description: Converts the uploaded video file into MP4 format, which is widely supported across devices and platforms.

Use Case: If your video is in an uncommon format, e.g. webm or mkv and needs to be played on most devices, convert it to MP4.

Convert Input to GIF

Description: Converts the uploaded video into a looping animation in GIF format.

Use Case: Perfect for creating short, silent, shareable animations for social media or websites.

Extract Video Audio as MP3

Description: Extracts the audio from the video and saves it as an MP3 file.

Use Case: Ideal for podcasts, music tracks, or dialogue extraction from video content.

Zipped Frames to MP4

Description: Combines a set of sequential image frames from a ZIP archive into an MP4 video.

Use Case: Use this when you have a series of images that need to be stitched into a video.

Zipped Frames to GIF

Description: Creates a looping GIF animation from a ZIP archive of sequential image frames.

Use Case: Create animated GIFs from a series of images.

Extract Frames from Input

Description: Extracts individual image frames from the video and saves them as a series of images.

Use Case: Helpful for analyzing video content frame by frame or creating thumbnails.

Reverse Video

Description: Reverses the playback of the video.

Use Case: Useful for creative effects or when you want to show an action happening in reverse.

Bounce Video

Description: Creates a “boomerang” effect where the video plays forward and then reverses in a loop.

Use Case: Great for making eye-catching effects for social media.

Parameters

Input File

Purpose: Upload the video file you want to process.

Accepted Formats: Common video formats like MP4, AVI, MOV, etc.

FPS (Frames Per Second)

Purpose: Determines the playback speed or smoothness of the video.

Default Value: Often set at 30 FPS, which is a standard frame rate.

Adjustments:

Lower FPS (e.g., 15): Creates a choppier, less smooth video but reduces file size.

Higher FPS (e.g., 60): Provides smoother motion but increases file size.

How to use on Scade

Let’s create a workflow that converts a simple text prompt into a refined GIF.

Start node prompt Input: Provide a text prompt.

Refinement for Image Generation: ChatGPT refines the prompt, tailoring it for image generation models to ensure optimal results.

Image Creation: The refined prompt is processed by a Flux Shell node to generate the desired image.

Video Conversion: Luma AI transforms the generated image into a dynamic video format.

GIF Creation: The resulting video is passed through a Video Toolkit node, where the task “Convert Input to GIF” is applied, producing the final GIF.
