VideoFrameSample - ComfyUI Built-in Node Documentation

The VideoFrameSample node extracts a fixed number of frames from a video using one of four strategies. For the contiguous strategies “head” and “tail”, the output is a lazy video reference (frames are not decoded); for the non‑contiguous strategies “uniform” and “random”, only the selected frames are decoded.

Inputs

Parameter	Description	Data Type	Required	Range
`video`	Input video.	VIDEO	Yes	–
`num_frames`	Number of frames to sample (default: 16).	INT	Yes	1 – 9999
`strategy`	Sampling strategy (default: “uniform”).	COMBO	Yes	`"uniform"` `"head"` `"tail"` `"random"`
`seed`	Random seed, only used with the “random” strategy (default: 0).	INT	Yes	0 – 18446744073709551615

num_frames is automatically clamped to the total frame count of the input video.
The seed parameter has no effect unless strategy is set to "random".

Outputs
